I call this book “a romance novel for those who avoid romance novels.” So many romance novels fail to be clean. Or they are cheesy. Or unrealistic. Or too predictable. Or simply unbiblical or inappropriate for Christians.
But just because so many romance novels aren’t edifying for a believer, that doesn’t mean the subject of romance should be completely avoided in a novel.
On the contrary, we need a new perspective on the genre. What if we forget everything we know about romance storylines and go about it as the Bible teaches?
As a covenant. As love in a manner that our overused, misused English word “love” can’t quite convey. As a reflection of God and His people – and as God in the midst of His people. From a Kingdom perspective.
So many novels miss this perspective entirely.
Romance’s Rest seeks to change that.
About the Book
Her love seems to have passed him by.
Little does he know that true covenant Love is knocking at his door.
Kethin Ellith’s life is brimful: a new town, his dream job working with people and animals, an active social life, and now a spunky, godly woman who has captured his heart. But how can he have any sort of relationship with her when she’s not even interested in a single conversation?
Faeth Dale delights in being an avid flower gardener and the middle sister of a lively, close-knit family. She has her own non-negotiable reasons for avoiding all male friendships, particularly with spiritually shallow men like Kethin. But would Adon Olam give her this apparently conflicted guidance?When rejection, grief, and longing jolt Kethin’s reality, knowing love seems permanently beyond him. And what is this spiritual concept of covenant he keeps encountering? As his struggles in this new relationship with Adon Olam intertwine with the struggles of his heart, Kethin comes face to face with both the starkness and breathtaking gloriousness of divine love itself—and a decision that costs him everything.
Content guide: No violence, no language, no fantasy or magic. Squeaky clean romance. A newly-engaged couple holds hands. A few brief mentions of forward people who unsuccessfully attempt to flirt with a character
