Wonderful Peace

by Rebekah A. Morris

Could an old, familiar hymn light the way to home and rest? Arthur Fowler has finally found the answers to the questions that drove him west twelve years ago, but new obstacles lie in his path. Will his wounded leg hold for the long journey home? Will his family still be there when he reaches it? And what will they say to the return of their long-lost prodigal? As he nears the end of his quest, Arthur finds hope in his mother's favorite hymn and the promises it contains.

About the author

Rebekah A. Morris has lived her entire life (as of now) in Missouri. Being home educated during her school years was great, except for writing. That was the worst subject (along with math) that she had to do. It wasn't until after she graduated that she discovered the joys and wonder of writing. Now she can't write enough. After spending six years in research and writing, she completed her first book, "Home Fires of the Great War," a 500+ page, historical fiction about home life in the United States and Canada during the First World War. Since then, she has been an avid writer and always has more than one story going on at once because only one story at a time got tiring and dull.

What a beautiful title to go with a story of salvation <3 Thoroughly enjoyed this sweet story!

[Lydia Willcock · Rating 5 out of 5]

Aww, I loved this story so much! It was short, but there was just so much in it and I loved it all. The backstory unfolds naturally, just enough for you to understand what had happened. This is now one of my top favourites of the author's short stories. Such a sweet, heartwarming story!

Copied from my review of the "Lower Lights" collection. Also, so glad to have this as a stand-alone so I can stop paging back through the entire collection to read it again! :D

Oh, my, but this one was a gem! I didn't even need all the details from the past that hadn't been filled in because the picture felt so complete. The family interaction was just wonderful, and the theme of reconciliation and peace found in Christ was perfect. The details with Arthur's injury were very realistic and believable, and the emotional scars of years felt just as real. I'll be coming back to this one often. <3

I wrote the summary for this book. All opinions are my own.

4 stars. This is just a lovely little story about coming home and finding peace… <33 I really enjoyed the hymn being worked in, too, because it’s one of my favourites! The whole story was just sweet and wholesome and old-timey and I love it. <3

A Favourite Quote: “It took a lot of trouble and hardship to bring me to my knees, Mother.”

This was so good!! And isn't that cover great?! I loved the storyline in this short story and how Arthur's emotions are so real!

Definitely recommended! :)

I'm not a huge fan of hymns, so this book wasn't really my thing. Also, it felt like a LOT of story to tackle in this short of time. But Rebekah Morris has great style.

A sweet short story of a prodigal son.
