In Search Of A Prince by Toni Shiloh

Sep7

Trust In His Leading

In Search Of A Prince by Toni Shiloh is a contemporary Christian novel that completely enthralled me. It is a modern-day fairytale set in a fictional African island. There are all the elements of a traditional fairytale to entertain the reader, with the added bonus of being grounded in God.

We see the importance of knowing God and walking with Him daily. “Lord God, please be there in the midst of us.” We know that when God is beside us, all will be well. “God had us in the palm of His hand, I didn’t need to worry.” When we have faith in God, there is no room for worry or fear.

A character has to make a life-changing decision. She seeks God, who ‘speaks’ through dreams. She knows that “whatever He called me to, He would equip me.” God will always give us just what we need as we walk through life with Him.

When God has called us, He will help us to fulfill His will for our lives. “Please empower me with Your words.” Being inside the will of God is the safest place to be.

Even when we do God’s will and follow His plans for our lives, life is not always easy. “God did not promise easy, but He did promise to be with us.” God will never leave us to face life alone. When we walk through the fires, He will be with us. We must “have faith in God’s calling.”

Returning Home by Toni Shiloh

Feb1

Redeemed

Returning Home by Toni Shiloh is the most delightful Christian romance. It is the first book in the Freedom Lake series and I cannot wait for the rest.

The novel deals with loss – the loss of a planned future that creates a hardening of the heart towards God. “He and God weren’t on speaking terms.” A belief that God has abandoned us is a lie from the enemy. God is always with us and walks alongside us in our pain. He waits for us to return. “Until you turn back to God, you’ll have no peace… bitterness will… take root… until you are godless.”

Past events have the power to cause bitterness to grow and root. The answer is to forgive. Forgive all those past hurts that rob us of present joy.

There is the theme of trust. God longs for us to return to Him and trust Him. “Lord forgive my silence.” We can trust Him at all times. “You don’t have to worry. God’s got this.” Worry is linked to fear. Fear is the opposite of faith. If we have faith and trust God, we need not fear.

Finding Love by Toni Shiloh

Trust Him

Finding Love by Toni Shiloh is a delightful contemporary romance which I loved. It is the second book in the Maple Run series but can be read as a stand-alone.

Finding Love focuses on new beginnings and second chances. With God, we can all have new beginnings. We need to trust Him and His word.

Having faith is a major theme. We need faith in ourselves and in God. We can always trust God’s Hands when we give Him our lives.

Prayer is powerful. It is building a relationship with God. At times, all we can do is pray. We need to be sure we are talking to God and not at God. We need to be sure to listen for His answers.
