Do you have a special book or movie you like to pull out during the Christmas season? I’m delighted to introduce you to one of my favorite romantic suspense authors, fellow North Carolinian, Lisa Carter. Today she introduces her new Christmas romance. Now, here’s Lisa.

Thank you so much, Debbie, for hosting me and The Christmas Bargain today. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in fictional Truelove, North Carolina. Let the Christmas fun begin . . .

Many people like to read Christmas-themed books all year long. Others prefer to save them until the holiday season, and then treat themselves with a Christmas book reward.

Dear God, Bring Me a Vision

My years of counseling women revealed an amazing paradox. Pain can be channeled into resolve that rescues and protects others. Bring Me a Vision tells the story of a woman who directed her brokenness into strength and has rescued hundreds of women and children from sex trafficking.

I met the book’s author and fellow blogger, Pam Ecrement, online. Even though we’ve never connected in person, I consider her a friend. We’ve prayed and kept in touch via phone calls, emails and texts.

Pam said the chapter on Rahab from my book Little Women, Big God prompted her to tell the story of her former client and friend, Becky Moreland. Becky is the founder of a ministry called RAHAB, which stands for Reaching Above Hopelessness and Brokenness.Continue Reading
