Fifteen-year-old, Sophie, is just trying to navigate high school in 2007 with her Christian faith intact. Friends, boys, bullies, death, and spiritual warfare will push her to her limits. Will her faith stand up to the trials ahead? Or will it crumble under the pressure?

Andrew is a troubled soul. On a path of self-destruction, he often jokes that only God could save him. He had no idea that God would use a girl to do it. 

Josh is a typical teenage boy crushing on his best friend. Could a good Christian girl ever love him as he is? Doubtful, but after almost two years of friendship he's tired of the friendzone. Can Josh win her heart?

Unfailing Love (Heart Series #3) by writingforChrist

Dani has loved Josh since high school. It started out as a crush, but a senior trip changed their lives forever. Suddenly, they were making a movie and swept into the glamorous but dark life of the rich and famous. They fell into a world where sin and self-rule and nothing is as it seems. When Dani becomes pregnant, Josh's heartfelt proposal shocks her. Desperate, Dani wants to accept but she's afraid he only asked because he's a new believer and trying to please Jesus. She turned him down, had her child, and signed away her parental rights. After four years of regret, Dani goes home to fix her mistakes but it's too late. Josh is engaged to another woman and she no longer fits into their lives. As she tries to mend her relationship with her son, Dani also grows closer to the Lord. Is it God's will for Dani to watch Josh marry another woman and have her raise Dani's son? Dani and Josh are both praying and determined to please the Lord, but neither of them is sure of His plan. They will need faith and the Lord's unfailing love to see them through. This is a STANDALONE STORY, but there are characters from With All Your Heart & Leaving the 99. Bible quotes are from the NIV version. Upates MWF

Chasing Danger |Bwwm by Black_Orchid12

Bwwm|Romance|Drama|18+ because of content This book is not for everyone. Read at your own risk. ⛔️ Kendra thought Easton was in all kinds of danger. Heck, she thought he was the son of Satan himself. She was so shocked to know that girls were going crazy over this punk-ass bad boy who was a member of a boy band that was all kinds of evil. As a Godly girl, she thought these kinds of boys needed saving. And that girls needed to just keep their legs closed at all times because boys like Easton could take them to hell with him. She knew the best thing to do was to gift him a Bible and a crucifix before it was too late. So this was what she did and many other things. But this soon got crazy when Easton's gothic parents found out about her doings. They were not fond of her sending religious packages to their son and wanted her to be held accountable for her actions. Of course, she was also damaging his reputation with her every move. To come to a truce, Kendra was to attend Easton's events and be his tutor and friend. Well, these kinds of things were not what Kendra wanted. But to not get reported for harassment, she had no other choice but to accept these dangerous moves... Then something unexpected happened causing a weird romance to bloom between them. A boy like him and a girl like her didn't make the perfect love story. It was just a matter of time before she lost what she ever fought for. And she just couldn't disappoint her pastor father and her religious family.
