Grace Like a River Flows is Christian fiction. Glencoe, by another name, is real and I pastored there for five years. Many characters are based on real people I knew. But the great story? It's all made up. Well, almost.
”The tracks have separated this town for a hundred years, but one day God's grace began flowing like River. And, like a mighty, raging river, you can't control it and you can't stop it. God's grace goes where He wants.
Grace Like a River Flows is about very flawed people who live on both sides of the tracks which run through Glencoe. Lives are changed. Families are transformed. And an old mainline church is renewed. Come meet the cast of characters who will be touched by God. Charlotte (featured on the cover) has seen the tracks. Will God’s grace touch her life? Look for the surprise ending! You’ll never see it coming.

I absolutely loved this book. It is a gospel-centered novel and it also fast-paced and kept this reader turning the pages. This story is about real life. This book has it all happiness, danger, romance, prejudice, hypocrisy, tension, persistence and God's Grace. There is even a secret advenger, ( no not the marvel kind) that takes justice into his own hands, his ways are violence which I don't usually like but in this book, it didn't bother me, maybe because of the overall message of the story. I like that the author includes his dog as one of the characters in this story. I recommend this book to anyone who loves Christian Fiction!
I received a contemporary copy from the author and these opinions are my own.
