The ground shook and a rumble sounded through the air as the train squealed to a stop. Maybe, just maybe, I could carry someone’s bags without the porter taking notice. And then there was the even bigger maybe: Maybe I could get enough money to at least buy a crust of bread for Trevor and Tabitha to share.I hid behind the boxes in the freight yard and kept one eye on the porter, and the other on … other on the second class passenger car. The porter had his attention on the first class car, so I slipped into the gathering crowd.
Titus Hines has always taken care of others. First in protecting his brother and sister from the men his mother entertained. Even more so after her death, when the townspeople refused to help the orphans of a town prostitute. He’s been protector and provider, despite the hardships. He’s learned that no one will help, no one cares and if he wants to survive he’ll have to rely on his own strength not just for himself but his family as well.
Then a stranger shows him the kindness and help no one else seems willing to. Between her kindness and the lecture she gives the Christian Leaders, Titus’s life takes an unexpected turn for the better. With help and provision from the local believers things should be easier, his burdens are lifted. So why does it feel like life is spinning out of control?
Can Titus learn that while man may fail him there is One who will never fail? Can he learn to allow God to be the Shepherd of his life and lead him? Or will life continue to push him every which way?
This book can easily be read as a standalone. Titus was a very minor character in my novella, Blessed Assurance.

Really loved this book!
This is an amazing book, it really gave me a view into the life of Titus, Tabitha and Trever!
I like Christian books.. this is one of the best.
Enjoyed this book eminently. I would recommend it to those who love a great tear jerker.
I love the idea of the hymn themes.
Beautifully written book and with the precious song “Savior, Like A Sheered” as the theme. A delightful reading experience.
It was a good read and easy to read! Was a little predictable at times.
I have enjoyed all of Faith Blum’s books. I enjoy books with scripture is paramount.
This story is not written well. The character voices don’t match the characters, the plot line is predictable and thin, and the several chapters at the end of the book that span many years aren’t necessary.
I am reading now and enjoy it very much.
I loved the Christian theme of the book, and I hope that anyone struggling would read it, but the “bad guys” were a bit cheesy.
Liked reading this book, but everything at the end kind of wrapped up like a big, pretty package. Thought everything being so perfect for every character was unrealistic.
Such a good book. Held my interest and was a great read! I wanted to read more.
What a wonderful story very inspirational.
I liked that the author told what happened to the people at the end of the story instead of leaving me hanging.
Thank you for this delightful, inspirational story. I loved the three children who persevered and grew as the tale unfolded. A very satisfactory ending, except he never ……….. (Can’t give away the plot).
