Remember Tuesday Morning by Karen Kingsbury
5.0
A good third book to this series. I wasn't sure why she needed a third book but it was fun to see my favorite characters from the first two books in their future lives with happy families and having babies. The new guy is a cop that works with Clay on the force in California. He is running from his prior life, from God, and from the death of his father in the twin towers. Will he come back to the Lord? Will he find his life?
"'It isn't revenge." Alex's mother sounded pensive. "He cares about the bad guys as much as the victims. Before he settled on law enforcement, he even thought about going into counseling. So he could help people change for the better-before they were capable of hurting society.'
It was all as if Alex was trying to become a real life Batman, a person incapable of sustaining relationships in his quest to right all the wrongs in the world. And for some sad reason-even though everyone who loved him could see the futility in his driving determination-Alex couldn't see it.
He still couldn't see it." (pg 58)
"'No!' Clay's tone was intense again. 'You've got it all wrong. Christ didn't die so we could go out and win the fight against evil in the world.' He stopped, and his eyes grew softer. He pressed his open hand to the place over his heart. 'He died so we might win the fight against evil here. Within us.'
Alex stared at his friend, baffled. The wind gusted through the patio area, and he had to keep his voice raised just to be heard. 'Here? Inside us, Clay? I thought we were the good guys.'
'No one's good, Brady. You gotta remember at least that much.' He slid closer to the edge of the table, his voice ringing with sincerity. 'That's the role of the Holy Spirit...to change us and mold us so we can be fore like Christ-more loving and patient and kind, more forgiving. We'll never be perfect. That's His job. But God wants to work on the evil inside us. Only then can we do things bigger than ourselves.'" (pg 206)
Wonderful characters. Interesting plot with lots of action. Great spiritual lessons. A Great book.
