A Heart Of Compassion

Code Of Valor by Lynette Eason is a fabulous Christian suspense and the third book in the Blue Justice series.

Once again Lynette Eason has produced a marvellous plotline that is both intriguing and well executed. The characters are realistic and easy to empathise with. The leading lady particularly resonated with me. She was a mixture of very strong and also insecure. She believed God loved others just as they were but she let her view of her weight define her. She did not see her self-worth. She needed to know “I am loved. I am God’s.”

The leading lady had compassion for others, even those who wished her harm. Her first thought was that no-one, no matter what they’d done, must die without Jesus.

We all face battles and have scars to prove it. Our scars and our past do not define us. We are who God says we are.

The novel shows the reader the true character of God. Some see Him as an angry God sitting in judgment but God is a God of love. “He’s [God] not sitting up there waiting to crack the whip if we mess up, but… He’s waiting for us to run into His arms and be comforted.” God is our perfect Father and will never let us down, in contrast to our earthly parents.

Power, the love of money and greed corrupt. They will never bring happiness. The book shows there is no honour among thieves.

The action is exciting and suspenseful. I read with heart racing and pulse rising. This Blue Justice series is fabulous and would translate marvellously into a Netflix series. All Lynette Eason’s books are superb.

I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.
