I seriously cannot rave enough about the Timeless series. The amount of research and time the author spends on each book is incredible.
Each book is a different cross-time character, but in For a Lifetime the characters are twins!! Their paths are 1692 during the Salem Witch Trials and 1912 during women’s aviation.
Hope and Grace choose their permanent path on their 25th birthday. I don’t want to give too much away, because there are so many twists to this book!
1692 holds Isaac, who loves Hope. 1912 holds Luc, whom Hope loves. Grace loves Isaac, even though he does not seem to know that.
The girls do not know their mother in 1692, as they were told she died in childbirth. But then family secrets come out. Secrets that could change their course.
I know my review is not doing this incredible book justice, but this authors writing style is so incredible. This series is so well written and descriptive that I feel as though I’m the character living her paths.
To think a chance video by Bethany House Fiction on Facebook introduced me to Gabrielle Meyer’s!!! So grateful I saw that. Cannot wait for book 4!!

“It’s important to be honest with ourselves so we know who we are and who we are not. Only then do we become the best version of ourselves.”
Dare I say that this was the best of the three wonderful Timeless stories?
I’m not surprised seeing as I loved Graydon and Maggie Cooper from In This Moment (book 2). The twins in For A Lifetime (book 3), Hope and Grace Eaton, are Graydon and Maggie’s girls. Each girl was born with a mark on the back of her head which allows her to time travel between 1912 and 1692.
This was a particularly interesting book for me because I knew very little about (1) Salem Village and the witch trials and (3) the views of the Puritans and Quakers and the differences between them. My heart ached to hear about how the strict Puritan laws affected those being raised in this way and how, according to one character, this harsh lifestyle “only taught me how to hide my sinful heart and defy my elders. It had made me afraid to do the wrong thing instead of longing to do the right thing.” It made me glad to see that she was brought to the place where she questioned the Puritans’ God of strict rules and regulations and compared Him with the God of her parents who offered grace and mercy.
The sections featuring the American aviatrix made my historical fiction-loving heart happy and the swoon-worthy utterances of Lucas Voland made me weak at the knees!
This book may be about risks and sacrifice, but it’s also about:
✔️Living with the timeless adversary, fear, and how it arises when we lose control
✔️Sacrificial love
✔️Brokenness and how we choose to respond
✔️Overcoming differences
✔️Stealing joy
✔️ What we do when we discover our life is built on a lie
✔️How God turns disappointment into gratitude
✔️Growth that comes from learning from another's mistake
✔️Hardship deepening our faith
✔️Difference between living with guilt vs conviction
✔️Trusting in God’s plan
✔️Second chances; gift of time
✔️Finding the truth
✔️Encouragement to listen instead of judge; honoring another's wishes
As always, Meyer’s work encouraged me to Google and I was happy to come across Harriet Quimby and discover why she was lost to history. I also spent quite a bit of time investigating the Church of England and the breakaway factions.
I was gifted this copy by Bethany House and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

As always, I loved this newest addition to the series! I love all the fascinating history we get to learn about, and the twists and turns that the book takes. I definitely recommend the Audiobook version!
Although not my favorite book in the series (book 2 is), this was an enthralling read. I read it in only a few days and was immediately captivated by the story. Meyer does an amazing job of winding history with fiction. She has such a gift and I look forward to the final book in the series.
Another beautiful story by Gabrielle Meyer. This series gets better with each book. I think this one is my favorite of the series. I’m pretty sure I said that with the last book and I’ll probably say it with the next book too. This series has quickly become some of my favorites.
I really enjoyed that this book followed identical twins. They were very different women who had their own dreams and personalities. They both had their own plans for their lives. As the story unfolded it became clear to them that their plans were not God’s plans. This series may contain a lot of fantasy, but it also contains a lot of Biblical truth. There were a lot of conversations throughout the book about trusting God and his plans, as well as why it’s important to pray.
The romances were done really well and I was happy with who each sister ended up with. There were so many twists and turns throughout this book. A couple of my predictions on how the book would turn out came true, but I was shocked by some things as well. I throughly love this series and highly recommend it. I am so excited to continue the Timeless series with Across the Ages. November cannot come soon enough.
*Bethany House was kind enough to send me this copy, but I also preordered a copy.
