Field of Ashes

Barren Fields, Fruitful Gardens – Book 2 – Field of Ashes

The beauty of our brokenness is that God not only restores but He also makes all things new.

After losing her fiancé to the wild elements of the Montana Territory, Jessica Bennett is sure the key to her happiness is in leaving Twin Pines. But from the moment she steps foot in the untamed, cowtown of Grassdale, Jess discovers a whole new world of challenges: An unruly superintendent, a ramshackle school, drunken cowboys, and a letter from home that changes everything. When the hidden wounds of her heart are discovered, will one man’s secret past hold the key to her healing?

Easy has never been the path Marcus Bennett sought, but as summer unfolds he comes face to face with the one struggle he has avoided for years. When life takes an unexpected turn, he finds himself torn between his responsibilities, his love for his family, and the promptings of his heart. Would God really ask him to abandon his home and family?

This sequel to Winter’s Prey explores the beauty of God’s amazing grace and astounding love, the freedom of surrender, and the hope of experience, though faith be tried by fire.

Right Where We Are

The story of Marc and Jess may be set more than 130 years ago, but the lessons are just as real for us today. Each of us face the struggles of:

• Maintaining faith in the midst of days when we simply don’t understand
• Longing for someone to relate to our deepest, most broken places
• Accepting situations of pain and sorrow and surrendering to God in them
• Decision making when the decisions God has put before us don’t make sense
• The realness of grief and the need to walk through it

But Field of Ashes doesn’t simply present the struggles. It goes on to explore:

• The hope of experience
• The freedom of surrender, and
• God’s amazing love, abundant grace, forever-enduring mercies, and faithfulness to forgive.
