Book Review: All That It Takes by Nicole Deese
Two people who believe they have their lives planned out, are suddenly thrust together to find that God may have other plans for them.
Miles McKenzie is a Pastor who is sure of his spiritual path, until that path is suddenly removed from him, and he is faced with new challenges that he must face.
Val Locklier has always taken the secure approach to life, focusing on her limitations and her young son’s future, however, once she is pushed out of her comfort zone, she finds a whole new outlook on life.
As Proverbs 16:9 says: We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps. So, this heartwarming romantic story of Val and Miles unfolds to show how God can bring us out of our comfort zones into a world where we can bring His goodness into the lives of others as well as ourselves.
If you have read Nicole Deese’s All That Really Matters novel, you will love this sequel to it. If you haven’t, you should read them both. Each can be read as stand-alone novels but reading both will bring a much richer meaning and joy into your life, for not only are these books filled with romance, but they are also adventurous, surprising, heartwarming stories of how God works in people’s lives to bring about His purposes.
I was given this book by Bethany House, a division of Baker Publishing Group, in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and comments are my own.
