For a Lifetime by Gabrielle Meyer
5.0
adventurous emotional hopeful informative reflective tense fast-paced

“It was a strange reality to be on the precipice of tragedy and not be able to stop it.”

Oh I seriously love this timeless series! Each book is fantastic & this one was no exception! This book focuses on identical twins Grace and Hope they are both time crossers who simultaneously lives in two separate time periods... 1692 & 1912. When they go to sleep in one life they wake up in the next. On their 25th birthday they will have to choose one life to keep & one to leave behind. Both timelines were fascinating… I mean the 1692 Salem Witch Trails & 1912 which was the beginning of aviation. I love all the historical elements with so many twists & turns… seriously I was holding my breath wondering how it would all turn out. 

I also loved all of the faith elements sprinkled throughout… I love the thought that God knows what’s best for us even when we can’t see it. That we each have a purpose & that God has a plan for us & we just need to trust in him. 

“Praying and seeking God means trusting that he will do what is best and taking comfort in his plan.”

So many beautiful quotes…

“Brokenness changes our hearts. We either become a bitter and angry or more compassionate, selfless and loving. I’m happy to know she’s letting her brokenness change her for the good.”

If you haven’t read this fantastic series you need too! But I would suggest reading them in order. I can’t wait for book four!
