In The Reluctant Prophet by Nancy Rue, Allison is a middle-aged, single woman who
lives in picturesque St. Augustine, Florida, and regularly attends a historic
and traditional church near her home.
When she feels a distinct poke in the ribs during a Sunday
service, she is convinced that God has “nudged” her to buy a Harley. Still, the
call to buy an expensive motorcycle seems bizarre to her. Her income giving carriage rides to tourists
is miniscule and riding a motorcycle is far out of her comfort zone.
Then her eccentric carriage horse takes her into a dangerous
section of the city and into the lives of individuals who barely manage to stay
alive there. The nudges continue. Over the objections of church friends, she
winds up at a Harley dealership.
A brand new red Heritage Softail Classic calls to her, and she is soon a Harley owner. She also
loses her job, falls out of favor with her longtime neighbors and makes new
friends. As she faces threats, she discovers new depths of love for others and
learns to trust God for safety, direction, life’s necessities and living life
victoriously.
In the weeks
between my finishing the book and this review I have forgotten if this was one
of the e-books with the aggravating errors grammatical and otherwise. But if there were those errors, they have faded beside my enjoyment of this quick read spiced with humor, heartbreak, a refreshing heroine and
interesting characters.
sounds like a good one to me and i to have sound those aggravating mistakes. did you know you can report the errors and that in Kindle manage you can set it up for automatic update corrections? i have had 3 update corrections since i set it up. it sends and email and says update ready and i click on it.
ReplyDeleteI'll buy this book on Kindle, if it is available as an e-book. I intend to spend 2014 reading novels and then write one in 2015. At least, that's the plan! Lol.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting read with plenty of God-surprises. I'll keep a note to look out for it. I'm kind of snowed under at the moment.
ReplyDeleteYou're not tempted by a Harley are you?

Freda, no Harley in my future, even before my stroke!
ReplyDeleteGreat book review! It sounds like a 'good read'.
ReplyDeleteI've been doing a bit of reading, myself, lately. In my opinion, there's nothing like a good book, especially in January :)
I think I will trust god without the Harley. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love what Freda said about God-Surprises.
ReplyDeleteLife is so full of those.
We need to keep our eyes open for them.
This sounds like a delightful book about Trust and victorious living.
Thanks for the recommendation.
