Forever Cherished: A Christian Love Story (Precious Love Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Juliette Duncan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 479 ratings
Sometimes, the hardest person to love is yourself…

Now Tessa's dream of living in the country is realized, she wants to share her and Ben's blessings with others, but when a sad, lonely woman comes to stay, Tessa starts to think she's bitten off more than she can chew, and has to rely on her faith at every turn.

Leah Maloney is carrying a truck-load of disappointments from the past and has almost given up on life. Her older sister arranges for her to spend time at 'Misty Morn', but Leah is suspicious of her sister's motives.

Unaware of the ramifications, Tessa helps Leah confront her past. She is shocked and sickened by what she discovers.

Convinced that God can bring good out of the most diabolical of circumstances, Tessa trusts Him to work in Leah’s life.

Can Tessa’s prayers and involvement help Leah to not only love herself, but to rekindle the love she thought she’d lost so many years ago?

"Forever Cherished", a contemporary Christian Romance, is a stand-alone novel, but is better read as a follow-on from "The True Love Series" books.

Review

"This series of books by Juliette Duncan is the best. I rate her right up there with Karen Kingsbury. I've followed this series from the very beginning with her first four books. Each book was so good and left such a climax at the end that I immediately went to the second book." - Amazon Customer

"Deeply moving story of faith and God's healing touch and the power of a true Christian witness and loving friendship!" - A very satisfied Amazon Customer

"Each book gets better and better. Even though this is a new series, it's lovely to see old characters and how much they have grown. Can't wait to read the next book!" - Brownsfan50

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Endearing and Timeless Story of Love of Forgiveness and Redemption!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Perhaps my favorite of author Juliette Duncan books, 'Forever Cherished: A Christian Love Story...' is a book to be read, shared and cherished! This endearing and timeless story of a couple growing together in Christ while assisting those who had to face difficult life issues that caused them to walk away from Him shows the reader that with God in our hearts and the leading of the Holy Spirt to we can do the impossible and help others experience God's love, forgiveness and grace!

    That this new series is a continuation of Tessa and Ben’s story as well as their families and friends made reading this novel feeling like I was visiting friends I care about a more enjoyable experience. And of course, meeting baby Naomi was a joy for me since I knew that Tessa and Ben had miscarried before. The fact that this family is now living at ‘Misty Morn’ and though not set up as a Christian retreat center yet, agree to have Leah Maloney a fifty-six-year-old woman as their first guest – a guest with a hidden and painful past – causes Tessa to petition God for help. The amazing help God bestows upon them reminded me of Psalm 1:3 which says, ‘That a person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers,’ because here we see a couple planted in the stream of Living Water who is our Messiah.

    So, in love with this authors books, I am now following her on Amazon so I can preorder her books, and once you’ve read this or any other of her books I encourage you to do likewise!

    Paula Rose Michelson writes Inspirational Christian Romance, Psychological Suspense Thrillers, Nonfiction, Self-help, and works to encourage. Her Kindle eBooks & Paperbacks are available on Amazon.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2018

    I love that Ms. Duncan's books are all about how God works through us and for us as we obey Him. I've read 5 of her books so far and they are all the same in that truth is written on the pages. The truth that God is in control, that He has us in the palm of His hand, that He loves us and wants the best for us. The truth that He created us to worship Him by putting our faith in Him, worshiping Him, praying for His will, and accepting that His will is best. I haven't found another Christian author whose books are so well written, tell an interesting and complicated story, and where God is on every page. I love her books, but not as much as I love her/my God.

    This is the first time I have had the desire to write a review on a book I have read, and I have read many! It captured my heart from beginning to end! It was so realistic as to the way anyone in a situation like Leah's may have been handled 40+ years ago! I could feel Leah's pain, I felt it was a very true story. Tessa and her family were amazing the way they ministered throughout the book! A great, faith building, healing message to anyone going through a difficult situation! Loved the emphasis on forgiveness towards the end! I loved the happy ending of Leah and Keith!. You are truly a spirit-led, gifted writer with a positive message!

    This series of books by Juliette Duncan is the best. I rate her right up there with Karen Kingsbury. I've followed this series from the very beginning with her first four books. Each book was so good and left such a climax at the end that I immediately went to the second book. Each book has brought many years but I feel like this is a real family and I'm right there in it with them. I've read every single one of these books all within just a week and a half. If your looking for a book you can sink your teeth in I promise with her books you will not be disappointed.

    Forever Cherished was a wonderful book continuing Ben and Tessa Williams' story. Although this book dealt mainly with an older lady, Leah, it was an enjoyable book addressing pains and heartache in her past.It is always amazing to be reminded of who God is and who we are in Him-forever cherished as His children. The author writes about real-life circumstances and issues and brings her characters to life. I feel as though I know Ben, Tessa, Stephanie, Telford, Eleanor, and Leah after reading five books.

    Beautiful story that will make you cry. Gets across how faith can make a difference in our lives and help us through hard times yet avoids being preachy. Tessa , Ben , Stephaine and all the characters are well written and true to life. The problems and situations that occur in book are relevant to real life. Would make an excellent tv film
