As Canadian men volunteer for World War II in Janette Oke's When Tomorrow Comes, Christine Delaney recovers from her broken heart and finds solace in helping her adored brother Henry settle into married life with the widowed Amber and her young son Danny. However, the Delaney family's happiness is shattered when a terrible auto accident mars an anticipated family celebration. At this crucial turning point in her spiritual maturity, Christine must decide if she is willing to give up her dreams of living in the North, and let God help her choose between her suitors to find a lifelong love. It's classic Oke here from cover to cover. Christian readers will appreciate that no matter what the circumstances, God is praised and everything works out for the best, even when things look grim. The writing is loose in spots-- characters "flush" repeatedly, and the dialogue is often stiff. Oke devotees will likely see these as minor glitches in a light, romantic novel that's penned in the tradition they've come to expect and enjoy. Readers who loved Beyond the Gathering Storm in Oke's "Canadian West" series will be more than content with this sweet sequel about the Delaney family. --Cindy Crosby

Um livro sobre confiar em Deus

O último livro da série Canadian West é focado na Christine. A obra vai explorar o coração e a mente da mocinha a necessidade de um novo trabalho, de finalmente encontrar seu caminho e se tornar independente. É um livro sobre ela confiar em Deus para guiá-la para onde quer que Ele leve-a. Quando ela acha que encontrou o seu caminho, o Senhor a guia por outra direção e é muito legal ver a fé dela agindo. Aqui nós vamos ter de volta personagem do livro um, o Jon, a Mary e os filhos e é muito divertido ver toda a família reunida novamente, o Danny conhecendo os novos primos, a casa cheia. A Mary tem uma participação bem grande nesse livro e ela é simplesmente maravilhosa, o carinho que ela teve com a Elizabeth em 'Quando chama o coração' é o mesmo que ela tem pela Christine agora. O ponto que eu menos gostei aqui foi o romance, não consegui me conectar com o mocinho e nem com o desenvolvimento do casal. Achei que a Christine tinha muito mais química com outro mocinho e fiquei meio decepcionada quando vi que não ia rolar kkkkkk. De qualquer forma, o processo dela de superar os medos devido ao relacionamento anterior foi ótimo de acompanhar, ela soltando as amarradas e entregando pra Deus, certa de que ela ia guiá-la, foi muito lindo. Como disse, é um livro sobre a Christine confiar em Deus e entregar pra ele os seus sonhos e desejos, principalmente o maior deles, voltar para o Norte. E esse processo de fé e entrega é o ponto alto do livro. Foi o livro que menos gostei da série, mas nem por isso é ruim ou não vale a pena. Essa série é incrível, uma das minhas ficções cristãs favoritas, certeza que vou reler no futuro.

Janette Oke

anette Oke writes with a profound simplicity of what she knows best—real life, honest love, and lasting values. With over 23 million in sales, her historical novels portray the lives of early North American settlers from many walks of life and geographical settings. She also writes engaging children's stories and inspiring gift books that warm the heart. Janette was born during the depression years to a Canadian prairie farmer and his wife, and she remembers her childhood as full of love and laughter and family love. After graduating from Mountain View Bible College in Canada where she met her husband, Edward, they pastored churches in Canada and the U.S., and they raised their family of four children, including twin boys, in both countries. Edward eventually became president of Mountain View Bible College and recently established a coalition of colleges that became Rocky Mountain Bible College. During her earliest years, Janette sensed the desire to write. Though she yearned to be a published novelist, she devoted herself to being a wife and mother because, she says, "there is no higher honor—that is my number-one priority." She began serious writing when her children were entering their teens. Her first novel, a prairie love story titled Love Comes Softly, was published by Bethany House in 1979. This book was followed by more than 75 others. She reaches both religious and general markets, telling stories that transcend time and place. Her readers of all ages and walks of life can identify with the everyday events and emotions of her characters. Janette believes everyone goes through tough times—the key is to be prepared with a strong faith as the foundation from which decisions are made and difficult experiences are faced. That perspective is subtly woven throughout her novels. After Love Comes Softly was published, Oke found her readers asking for more. That book led to a series of eight others in her Love Comes Softly series. She has written multiple fiction series, including The Canadian West, Seasons of the Heart and Women of the West. Her most recent releases include a beautiful children's picture book, I Wonder...Did Jesus Have a Pet Lamb and The Song of Acadia series, co-written with T. Davis Bunn. Janette Oke's warm writing style has won the hearts of millions of readers. She has received numerous awards, including the Gold Medallion Award, The Christy Award of Excellence, the 1992 President's Award for her significant contribution to the category of Christian fiction from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association, and in 1999 the Life Impact Award from the Christian Booksellers Association International. Beloved worldwide, her books have been translated into fourteen languages. In recent years, Janette and her siblings lovingly restored their parents' prairie farm home, and it now serves as a gift shop and museum of prairie life. Please see below for a special invitation to the Oke Writing Museum and The Steeves' Historical House. She and her husband live nearby in Alberta, Canada, where they are active in their local church. Visits from their families, including their grandchildren, are their delight.
