This book in the series is dedicated to the concept of redemptionЧthat if we
simply believe, we still have a fighting chance. Much has happened in the world
since this series began. There are signs everywhere that we might all need to
take heed and pursue a more spiritual path. The earth even stopped in time for
microseconds after a disastrous tsunami. This tells me that there is a power out
there greater than my tiny human brain could ever hope to conceive of, and
therefore, anything is possible. But one thing I know for sure is redemption was
a promise.
May you choose wisely and pause to think about things greater than we can
fathom.
