Freshwater: Release Day! Sunsets, Sabbatical, & Scandal by Tonya Kappes

Freshwater

Located in the wilds of Wyoming, the name Freshwater was chosen as a Western analogy to Christ. Just as He is the Living Water, and we must have Him to have eternal life, any desert dweller knows the importance of fresh water to life, both for self, and the nourishment of crops or livestock. By taking nourishment in God and His word, we strengthen our own relationship with Him, our faith, and the quality and abundance of our fruitfulness.

Our keystone verse is from Jeremiah, Chapter 17, Verse 8: "For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see whenSave heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

The fruit that we speak of is mentioned in Galatians 5:22
"²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ²³Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

And the heat could be anything we experience that might test our faith in God; trials and tribulations, relationships, anything that focuses our love and attention anywhere but on Him...

Release Day! Sunsets, Sabbatical, & Scandal by Tonya Kappes

I know I'm not normally an ebook fan (nothing against technology, I just love holding a physical copy in my hands), but since this was an ARC I did receive an electronic copy to preview.

What a fun read! I enjoyed getting back to Normal, Kentucky and finding out how things were going with this notorious cast of characters. Adventure abounds in this cozy mystery, guaranteed to draw you in and make you want to be part of this small town.

I love the sense of community, small town pride, and the way the residents care for each other. I think it makes important connections and leads to the genuineness of the story. I also am glad we're learning more about Mae.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy. This is my honest opinion.
