Читать книгу Off The Grid Christmas - Mary Ellen Porter - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

Off the Grid Christmas was especially fun to write because it gave me the opportunity to take a quirky, socially awkward genius and have her save the world and find true love in the process—and who doesn’t like it when the underdog saves the day and gets the guy?

At its core, Arden and Kane’s story is about embracing the things that make you different and understanding that it’s those differences that make you distinctive in God’s eyes. This doesn’t mean you can’t change or evolve; it simply means you should recognize that you have been made uniquely capable of fulfilling the purpose God has for your life.

It’s also a story about faith and forgiveness. God offers forgiveness to those who seek it, yet—like Kane—some of us struggle with letting go of our mistakes. Forgiving is not about forgetting; it’s simply about putting the past behind us and moving forward in God. We must fix our thoughts on what is good because dwelling on regrets drains us of the strength we need to become the person God wants us to be.
