Because of the Rain

Today I’m giving away one copy of my novel Because of the Rain. This was the second book I wrote and was originally titled In the Still of Night. This version features one of my favorite covers (designed by my husband, Ken). To be entered for the drawing, simply comment on this post with the answer to this question: What is your favorite thing about Spring?

The new title for this novel came because the original title had been used for several other books in the years between its first publication and Raney Day Press’s reissue of the book. The idea for Because of the Rain came when a friend gave me a beautiful photo frame that said, “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” That quote made me realize that so many of the really good things in my life have ultimately come about not in spite of the rain, but because of it! It’s not fun to go through the storms of life, but so often, there is a beautiful rainbow on the other side if we can only hang on tight to the Father’s hand until we are on the other side of our difficulties. I hope that thought might encourage you today!

I’ll name a winner here tomorrow morning, so be sure to check back and see if your name is drawn! Hope you’re having a wonderful spring so far.
