For a Lifetime by Gabrielle Meyer
5.0
adventurous emotional hopeful inspiring reflective tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Based on the previous 2 books of the series, I knew going into this that this book would be a wild ride filled with faith, and Gabrielle Meyer did not disappoint, in fact she exceeded expectations. 

For a Lifetime is an excellent addition to a 5-star series. Gabrielle Meyer undoubtedly has God-gifted talent for storytelling--no one quite does it like her: the way she weaves together the tme crossing components, the historical elements, the complex characters, the twists and turns, and the FAITH is like none other. You can tell that this author does her homework to create as much historical accuracy in her stories as possible; I learned so much about the tragic time of the Salem witch trials in particular.

As I mentioned before, the faith contained within the pages is breathtaking: from 2 faith-filled male romantic interests to the meanings behind Hope and Grace's names to the lessons that God is faith and His plan is better than anything. I can pretty much guarantee that this book will minister to you in some way, if you let it. 

This story has two timelines of 1692 (Salem witch trials) and 1912 (aviation): personally I was much more interested in the Salem timeline details But the characters themselves and their struggles were engaging throughout. I was hoping Meyer would take her characters through a particular event in history in one of the timelines, but it's fine lol.

A book that can help you learn about history, connect with the characters, surprise you repeatedly, and minister to you is a rare jewel that should be cherished and shared

Warning: read with emotional support (a buddy or group read is highly recommended)

Content: adultery mentioned in a side character

Christian faith rating: 3/3
