Love Begins Here

"Melissa Tagg follows up her debut novel with a stellar sophomore read. With her charming wit and engaging prose, Tagg pens a story of hope in God's dreams for us and ties it all together with sigh-worthy romance. Truly a book and author not to be missed." ~Rachel Hauck, award-winning, bestselling author of The Wedding Dress and Princess Ever After After playing nomad for five years, Blake Hunziker has finally had enough of adventure. Not sure what reception he'll get from everyone back in Whisper Shore, he's stunned at not only a warm welcome from his hometown but also a job offer. The job is his if he can successfully pull off the annual Christmas Festival. If only he knew the first thing about coordinating events... If there's one thing Autumn Kingsley knows, it's Whisper Shore. For years, she's been stuck running her family's inn when all she wants is to see the world. Now she has a visit scheduled from a potential investor who could take over the inn, as well as a dream job offer in Paris. But with just two weeks to whip the inn into shape, her chance at escape is a long shot. The Hunzikers and the Kingsleys may not get along, but Blake knows Autumn's the only one who can help him. She agrees to a trade--she'll help with the Festival and he'll help with inn repairs. But what was meant to be a simple deal quickly becomes much more than that when the guy who's done running away joins forces with the girl who can't wait to leave.

Who are we? Why are we here now? Where are we going? Human beings have been asking these questions since time immemorial. In the Old Testament, the identity of God is revealed as living existence. In the New Testament, God's identity is love. This book uses theology, philosophy, psychology, and science to analyze these two identities and unite them in the one God. Made in God's image, our identity also involves living existence and love. It determines our purpose in life here and now, as well as our destiny.

Faith by definition is: confidence or trust in God and in His promises as made through Christ; the scriptures by which humans are justified or saved. "It is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen (Heb. 11:1 KJV)." In this story, Faith is the key just as it is in our lives to defeating the enemy. God has given us power over the enemy but for us to use that power we have to believe in the Son Jesus Christ and have Faith that we possess the power He has given us. Not only do we need Faith in defeating the devil, but as well the things he throws at us in life. WE MUST HAVE FAITH TO SURVIVE! In this story a young man is given power to use against evil. The key to using it is having Faith. I ask you, as you read this story, put yourself in his shoes and see if you would be ready for a test of Faith.
