MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n Breath of Heaven <\/strong><\/em>is a lovely story written from the perspective of a new pastor’s wife. Not only are Katrina and her pastor husband young newlyweds but city girl Katrina is unaccustomed to small towns and the expectations church members have for their pastor’s wife. The book is well written and realistically told as would be expected from an author with experience as a pastor’s wife. The reader may well wonder how much of the story is drawn from her own experiences. I enjoyed reading Katrina’s story as she walked through numerous difficulties and temptations to come out on the other side contented with her life as she learned to depend on the Lord rather than others. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Celebrate Lit. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n Click to purchase<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n Title:<\/strong> Breath of Heaven<\/p>\n Author:<\/strong> Alana Terry<\/p>\n Genre:<\/strong> Contemporary Christian Fiction<\/p>\n Release Date:<\/strong> December 9, 2017<\/p>\n She hasn\u2019t fallen out of love with her husband. She just can\u2019t stand his church.<\/p>\n Nobody told Katrina being a pastor\u2019s wife would be easy. But she never imagined that the stress she and her husband would face from his new job could so easily destroy their marriage.<\/p>\n In spite of her mother\u2019s disapproval, Katrina marries a pastor whose job immediately plucks her away from her music, her symphony, and the city life she loves and plants her in the small town of Orchard Grove, Washington.<\/p>\n If she knew going into her new life that she\u2019d be sacrificing her music career for a congregation full of gossips and backbiters and that the pressure of her husband\u2019s new job would turn him into someone she hardly recognizes anymore, she might have reconsidered marrying him in the first place.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, it\u2019s too late to do anything about that now.<\/p>\n Or is it?<\/p>\n ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n GUEST POST FROM ALANA TERRY:<\/strong><\/p>\n I used to think being a pastor\u2019s wife would be glamorous. Now I know better!<\/p>\n Although I\u2019ve loved the different churches where my husband has been called to serve, being a couple in full-time ministry can definitely take its toll on a marriage.<\/p>\n Breath of Heaven is a novel in my Orchard Grove Christian women\u2019s fiction series, which deals with real-life couples facing real-life issues. In Breath of Heaven, two newlyweds are thrown into the world of church politics, and the honeymoon period is quickly over.<\/p>\n I wrote this novel to give an inside peek at what it\u2019s like if you\u2019ve never been a pastor\u2019s wife as well as to offer some hope and encouragement to women who know the stress of being married to someone in full-time ministry.<\/p>\n BLOG STOPS:<\/strong><\/p>\n Book Reviews From an Avid Reader<\/span><\/a>, June 28<\/p>\n Ladybug Chronicles<\/span><\/a>, June 28<\/p>\n Quiet Quilter<\/span><\/a>, June 29<\/p>\n The Power of Words<\/span><\/a>, June 29<\/p>\n Just the Write Escape<\/span><\/a>, June 30<\/p>\n Splashes of Joy<\/span><\/a>, June 30<\/p>\n Mary Hake<\/a>, July 1<\/p>\n Lots of Helpers<\/span><\/a>, July 1<\/p>\n proud to be an autism mom<\/span><\/a>, July 2<\/p>\n Bibliophile Reviews<\/span><\/a>, July 2<\/p>\n All-of-a-kind Mom<\/span><\/a>, July 3<\/p>\n Daysong Reflections<\/span><\/a>, July 3<\/p>\n Texas Book-aholic<\/span><\/a>, July 4<\/p>\n Jeanette\u2019s Thoughts<\/span><\/a>, July 4<\/p>\n Debbie\u2019s Dusty Deliberations<\/span><\/a>, July 5<\/p>\n Janices book reviews<\/span><\/a>, July 5<\/p>\n Carpe Diem<\/span><\/a>, July 6<\/p>\n A Baker\u2019s Perspective<\/span><\/a>, July 6<\/p>\n Bigreadersite<\/span><\/a>, July 7<\/p>\n Christian Author, J.E.Grace<\/span><\/a>, July 8<\/p>\n Margaret Kazmierczak<\/span><\/a>, July 8 (Interview)<\/p>\n A Reader\u2019s Brain<\/span><\/a>, July 9<\/p>\n The Christian Fiction Girl<\/span><\/a>, July 9<\/p>\n Blogging With Carol<\/span><\/a>, July 10<\/p>\n Jen Around the World<\/span><\/a>, July 10<\/p>\n
