Reviews

Romantic Times Magazine:
Warren's third Team Hope book delivers a thrill ride of excitement with an emphasis on God's protection and provision. Mac and Andee's relationship develops in a believable and touching manner. And beyond the harrowing fight for survival, the suspense is multiplied while readers puzzle out who is responsible for the mayhem.

www.faithwebbin.net:
EXPECT THE SUNRISE is book three in Susan May Warren’s Team Hope series but it easily stands alone. I think EXPECT THE SUNRISE is easily the best book in this entire series so far. I enjoyed the book thoroughly...The faith message is expertly woven in...The characters are very well developed and seemed to come to life.

Behind the Pages

“Mommy, if you could live your life over, would you make the same choices?”

When my son asked me this question the other night, it made me ponder. Would I? Yes, for the most part. There are a probably a few I wouldn’t make again. Like that perm gone wild, or the boyfriend with the bad breath. But really, our choices make us the people we are, and without one choice pushing me to the next, I probably wouldn’t be I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Not that life has been easy. Or that I’ve always made the right decisions. Over the last two years, we’ve had big changes – in career, in lifestyle, in location. And we haven’t always made the best decisions. (Case in point – the day I decided to clean out my basement and ended up accidentally burning down the garage!) But through this journey, I’ve discovered that in every event, every disappointment, every joy, every struggle, God is there. And that is a treasure I wouldn’t have found if every decision had been wise, or easy, or right.

I often hear people say, when confronted with a crisis, “God doesn’t give me more than I can bear.” I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve been in a number of “I can’t bear this!” situations, and over and over I see that it’s when I’m swamped and going down fast, I have no choice but to turn to God. He parts the waves, reaches down and snatches me from death.

Sorta like what Paul says in 2 Corinthians 1:9-10 (New Living Translation) In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we learned not to rely on ourselves, but on God who can raise the dead. And he did deliver us from mortal danger. And we are confident that he will continue to deliver us.

Many times Paul thought, “This is it. I’m done for.” And yet he trusted in God, and God saved him.

As I journey through this life, making decisions, trusting God for guidance, I have two choices. I can look behind me and say, “WHY did I do that?” Or I can look forward, toward Heaven, and God’s smile, and say, “I trust you for this step, and that you’ll catch me if I fall.”

Thank you for reading Mac and Andee’s story. I pray that their journey encouraged your own and that God uses it to remind you that blessed is the person whose hope is in the Lord their God.
