- Jon Moore, orphaned at 9 and raised in an abusive foster system, learns about faith and forgiveness from a mysterious girl he meets while placed in a final foster home. He falls in love only to learn that she harbors a tragedy of her own.
- From the novel, "Forgiving God": Jonathan Moore was nine years old when a terrible tragedy left him an orphan. With no family able to take him in, he quickly becomes a ward of the state. Shuffled from one foster home to another, he endures physical, emotional and even sexual abuse at the hands of foster parents and siblings. Eventually, Jonathan is incarcerated after anger and hatred take over his soul. He despises the world for his pain and the bad hand he's been dealt. At seventeen, Jonathan is released to another foster home for the summer where he meets a mysterious girl in the woods nearby who teaches him about faith and forgiveness. As the summer goes on he begins to fall in love, only to learn that she's had a tragedy of her own...and harbors an unbelievable secret.
Reviews: All of us who've experienced the trauma of a devastating loss in our lives , as the character Jon has, should have someone like Isaka to guide them through.
I not only enjoyed the story very much, but I like that it's written with a focus on providing inspiration to anybody who is looking to strengthen their faith in a Higher Being, particularly, after suffering such a tragedy. "FORGIVEN GOD" is highly inspirational and thought-provoking ( as in it opens your eyes )
Jon and Isaka are two characters you wont soon forget. Great job by the author! ~BW
I thought it was a great book. It keeps your interest. It also keeps you in suspense while teaching you about life and delivering a great spiritual message. So glad I bought it to read and have. It's a amazing story. ~Pamela Jones
I was hooked on "Forgiving God," from the first sentence. It is not an easy story. The main character has been through so much, but his journey and the mystery of the Native American girl who comes into his life are entwined in such an uplifting way that the reader is comforted no matter what they have been through themselves.
Rich with action and faith, this book is a Christian tale. There is no mistaking that. Being a Pagan, myself, I did not find this off-putting. It's refreshing to see someone sharing their faith through their work in a sweet, respectful manner. I recommend this story to anyone who appreciates a spiritual/religious tale written with love. ~Jess
