Promised Land

Beschreibung

In 1864, Jonathan and Mary Sower followed God's direction to move their family from the war-torn town of Perryville, Kentucky, to a new land of opportunity at Snelling, California. However, this promised land is not without its giant encounters, especially for their four children who are coming of age. Disappointing ambitions, uncontrollable temptations, hidden intentions, and immature discernment are the sibling's battlegrounds. The hopeful parents embrace the Parable of the Sower as their saving grace for the ageless trials ahead of them. Although the family members are fictitious, their life situations are universal and the readers will find themselves relating to the family's struggles and victories. In addition to the main characters are actual people, places and events that occurred in Calfornia's frontier towns such as Columbia, Sonora, Jamestown, Chinese Camp, Coutlerville, Mariposa, Rio Vista, and of course, Snelling. The names of these citizens are slightly changed, and the historical occurrences blend naturally into the narration. This classic rendition will broaden the reader's understanding of life's difficulties and how an all-knowing and all-mighty God can provide a golden harvest of resolutions for every situation.

Autor

Rosanna Cerezo Sharps enjoys sharing God's Word to better understand and develop our relationship with the Heavenly Father, and to provide directives for life's challenges through its application. By vicariously experiencing another person's difficulties as they strive to maintain their course on the narrow path to God, one can summarize his or her spiritual journey. Realizing there is nothing new under the sun, she hopes to convey a picture of this process through the character's lives in her historical fiction trilogy Golden Harvest. The author prayerfully crafted the story, which allegorically applies to the timeless parables and other scriptural passages found in the Bible to help enlighten the pathway for God's people. Rosanna studied Psychology at Southwestern College and theology at Calvary Chapel Bible College. She taught Bible studies for women, youth, and grade school children at several Calvary Chapel churches, including the church her husband pastored in Rio Vista, California. They have a musically gifted son whom she homeschooled. Her passion is to study God's Word and pray, to love her family, writing, fellowship with other Believers, singing worship songs, reenacting historical periods, travel and enjoying God's creation, and being creative through crafts such as crocheting, knitting, and painting. Currently, she and her husband are sole proprietors of a book and variety store in the historic town, Columbia, California, where all her attributes can be utilized by God to creatively plant the seed of His gospel to peoples around the globe.
