It is October 1844. With the death of the evil Colonel Mahon and the end of the greatest potato famine in living memory, it seems peace and prosperity are finally on the way to Ballynockanor.

Trying to find his way to Ireland and to his beloved wife, Joseph fights against the forces that seek to block their reunion.

Book Description:


The prolific Thoenes return to their Galway series with this volume set in rural Ireland in 1843. Local squire Joseph Connor Burke finds himself caught between appeasing the tenant farmers of Ballynockanor and enforcing the edicts of the British government. When a repeal movement against British rule nominates Burke its leader, he realizes that he may be forced to leave his beloved Ireland. On a personal front, Burke and his longtime love Kate Donovan attempt to come together admidst political strife and the horrors of a smallpox epidemic, and Burke struggles with questions of faith. As is typical of the Thoenes' books, this is a rich mixture of history, romance, and adventure peppered with intriguing secondary characters. In fact, here many of the secondary characters prove much more interesting than the leads. But the Thoenes' formula has been successful countless times before, and this is sure to please their many fans.

Book Description:


The Thoenes (Shiloh Autumn, Thomas Nelson, 1996), the prolific husband-wife team, set their latest offering in 1840s Ireland. A mysterious man named Joseph Connor arrives in the small village of Ballynockanor. He is befriended by the widower Tom Donovan and his five children. The eldest daughter, Kate, remains fairly aloof from Connor, largely because she feels self-conscious about her scarred body, the results of a fire that killed her husband a few years before. Over time, though, Kate and Joseph begin to fall in love. Will true love prevail? Of course, but not before many twists and turns in the plot. The Thoenes bring the oppression of life in Ireland to life brilliantly, and Kate is thoughtfully portrayed as a woman who begins to accept God again. Essential for Thoene fans and good enough to attract new readers.

Book Description:


Each Christmas we are given a promise from heaven. And each year on earth we make promises to each other. This is a story about how a promise from one person to another shows us the true meaning of faith, remembrance, and love.

Seven years ago Gloria endured a family tragedy that almost shook her faith entirely. Each Christmas she places a card in an envelope on her tree, restating a promise she made to her husband before he died. Now, having moved from her small town and all the painful memories it held, she is building a life by caring for people in need. Whether it’s a young mother who can’t pay her electric bill or a family who needs some extra food, Gloria always finds a way.

Miriam is a thorn in Gloria’s side. Miriam is a constantly critical, disapproving neighbor who looks with suspicion at all the good things Gloria does. When a twist of fate makes them roommates instead of neighbors, it’s the ultimate test of patience and faith.

Chaz has a good job as head of security at Wilson’s Department Store, but each night he returns home to an empty apartment. He longs for a wife and family of his own but realizes that the life choices he’s made have alienated him. He befriends a young boy whose mother has fallen on hard times, giving him a chance to have a life he thought impossible.

In The Christmas Promise, the lives of these characters collide and we learn that even as we move ahead, the past is never far behind. And when we are forgiven much, we love much. In this warmly humorous and deeply poignant story, we are reminded that the Christmas Promise is the promise of second chances.
