Promises Beyond Jordan
"Have you ever loved someone that you never had?" George Landris  asks his fianc e Theresa Jordan barely two weeks before their  wedding. George, a hip, dreadlock-wearing young pastor at Wings  of Grace Faith Ministry Church in Birmingham, AL, has just  learned that his first love, Johnnie Mae Taylor, barely survived  a car accident in Atlanta. Her husband and toddler daughter are  still in critical condition, and he feels compelled to lend his  support. George's departure is the signal for Theresa's  prenuptial doubts to emerge. As the wedding draws closer, George  and Theresa grow further apart, and Theresa's discovery of a  dark secret in her father's past seems to close the door on the  couple's future together. Then, a scandal erupts in the church,  with George and Theresa at the center. George clings to his  faith to sustain him in his trials, but Theresa's selfishness  may mean the destruction of his ministry. Fans of Victoria  Christopher Murray's Temptation and Angela Benson's Awakening  Mercy will relish Griggs's outstanding sequel to The Rose of  Jericho.
