Description
Amazing Love (sequel to Tried With Fire) by Libby Lindblom
Out now! Released July 3, 2024
Newly married and settled into her new home in Winchester, Virginia, Leah Brooks eagerly embarks on a promising new life beyond Carson’s Bakery. Her days are soon filled with family and ministry, surrounded by her sister Cynthia’s family and sweetened with the fulfillment of helping her husband William at the little downtown mission, Turning Point Corner. With these new roles come new joys—as Leah embraces one by one the responsibilities of being a wife, aunt, and mother.
Life seems all sunshine, despite its trivial challenges. But tiring work days, ministry struggles, and a rocky new relationship with a condescending mother-in-law are not the only clouds to rise above the north Virginia hills. Through a mysterious accident and a shocking police discovery, Leah soon finds herself facing shadows from the past that have never truly been erased.
It all started on that November night when William didn’t come home.
In this suspenseful sequel to Tried With Fire, you’ll ride the edge of your seat through some thrilling turns and heart-grabbing twists, above all encountering the strongest force that can overcome our enemies: the love of Christ.

Hi Libby… I finished reading your books Tried with Fire and Amazing Love. There are not enough words to fully express how much I loved those books. Not only are you an excellent writer (my career was technical writing, and thus I appreciate good writing), but your storytelling and your witnessing for Christ are just amazing. I could not put the books down and they were a great reminder to me, a Christian, of how much I need to just turn everything over to Jesus and not worry about things. And – to remember that God has a plan for us and what may seem to us as bad things (financial burdens, illness, death, love lost, etc.) are part of God’s plans for bigger things. Your main characters served as great examples for us. You have a great gift in writing (among your musical gifts) and witnessing, and I feel honored to know you and to have read your book.

A great sequel with unexpected twists! Libby knows how to keep the reader on his toes! This sequel continues the story of Leah Carson and her family with lots of love, prayer, and forgiveness for the many twists and turns along the way. I enjoyed reading this book even more than the first one!

A real page turner! Such a rarity nowadays to find good story telling, and sound biblical principles without sounding too preachy. This book does a great job. Parents and grandparents would enjoy reading this book with their kids and grandkids. Fast paced and an exciting twist at the end. A real gem!!

Ms. Lindblom continues to develop her plot and characters generationally in this most excellent sequel. Amazing Love picks up seamlessly in both story line and characters. The author has woven a strong Christian family ethic throughout. The two books are definitely worthy of being read and reread. An excellent addition to your library!
