WOW

Oh My Goodness is all I can say. I read this in 2 days but it would have been one if I didn't have to work. Totally Loved It!!! Thank you Vanessa Miller-the words in pages of the Rain Series helped me in my pesonal life. Made me rethink some things. I appreciate you being obedient and writing these novels!!

Awesome!

I've had this book for a while so yesterday I took it to the beauty salon with me so I'd have something to read while under the dyer. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. It's certainly a page turner. I hadn't even completed the book and I was telling everyone how good it was. So like I told them, "BUY THE BOOK". It's wonderful Christian fiction. I give this book two thumbs up, a diet coke with a cherry on top. Take a bow Ms. Miller. You got it goin' on!

Awesome Book

This was a very touching story. At parts I could feel the tears forming in my eyes. It was definitely a page turner and I stayed up late just so I could see how God worked things out. God is good and Vanessa shows it in her books. If you haven't read the rest of the "Rain" series books, you need to. Vanessa's stories have me feeling God's love and has me wanting to share it with the world. Thank you Vanessa for another dynamic book.

Letting Him guide you through the storms of life!

First let me start by saying Vanessa you really have talent and as you continue to write books like this more people will come to the Lord and get to know Him. Please continue writing books as this nature...we need them and more authors like you!!! This book bought tears to my eyes and made me mad...how could any woman not want Keith, A strong man in the Lord? When the Lord tells Keith to take Cynda, a whore, as his wife, at first he's confused and starts to have doubt but with the help of the Lord and His word he does what He commands and take her as his wife. Cynda has been through a lot, abuse, rape, and selling her body, just to name a few; not being able to grasp the love that Keith has for her she runs away a couple of times and even becomes pregnant...not by Keith but by a man unknown, in all this Keith still loves her and refuses to give up on her. This is the type of love the Lord Has for us...even though this book is only fiction it gives real high sights of the love of the Lord and what He goes through just for the love us...people who doesn't deserves it. Not only did this display a story of love and forgiveness it also showed how man and woman are suppose to love each other...it tackled marriage values as well. Pick up the book...you'll love it just as much as I did. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God's Love

Some of the things we do in our lives lead us to believe that we are not deserving of God's unconditional love. Vanessa Miller has created a story that shows us, nothing done can ever keep us from the love we ought to and will receive from God. Rain Storm deals with the fight for love and forgiveness in the lives of four individuals that are different but yet the same. Keith Hosea Williams prayed about finding his perfect woman, but the woman he had in mind was far from what God had in his plan. Keith was lead to a crack head, prostitute named Cynda Stephens, and of course he just knew that God was wrong. Keith struggled with God's decision and for every doubtful question he asked, God always had a strong reassuring answer. Cynda had many demons, and did not believe that she was worthy of anyone's love. She stopped believing in God when her mother was killed. She hated that her mother did not protect her from the evils of the world and died leaving her alone. Cynda could not understand why God would send her a man like Keith. Always there for her, no matter how she treated him. She did not believe that he could be happy with her because she was a drug-using street walker. Isaac loved his wife Nina. Even though he loved her he had cheated on her with Cynda, years before they married. The constant tormenting of Cynda made Nina run from Isaac, but he fought for her just the same. Once Isaac realized that he only wanted one woman, Cynda crossed him and betrayed him to the police. But the other thing she did to him was so unforgivable that even though he found the love of God while in prison, he still harbored hate for Cynda in his heart. Isaac dedicated his life to trying to bring God's glory and love to his friends from his past and any others walking down that same road of destruction. How could he help others when his heart was not totally clean from the things of the past? He preached of God's forgiving heart and love but he was still struggling with forgiving others. Due to a tragic incident, Nina was told that she could never have any more children. That was what she prayed for most, to be able to give her husband another child. She kept the faith and believed that God loved her enough to give her another child. She would learn sometimes the things we want and the way we receive them is not always the way we planned, but how God wanted it. Rain Storm is a fast-paced, page-turner, must read. I recommend this book to everyone, especially those that believe because of their past indiscretions and wrong doings they do not deserve to be loved or forgiven by God and the people around them that truly love them.
