Wonderful story! This heartwarming story will touch your heart and soul. It is full of emotions and the power of God’s love, grace and forgiveness. If you are looking for a wonderful inspirational read grab this entire series. It is wonderful! I received an ARC copy of this book and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
So wonderful. Loved getting back to Goddard Downs with all the wonderful characters. It was heart breaking as Serena struggled with the scars from being a victim of a bombing. And David struggled to get over the loss of his Mom and siblings from a fire, when he was a child. I cried with sadness and joy throughout this book. I also got a bit of an education in the use of some Aussie words. Had to Google several. Lol But it did make the story more authentic. If you like clean inspirational stories, I highly recommend ‘Slow Path to Peace’. I received this book from the publisher. The thoughts and comments are my own.
Book 3 in the Sunburned Land Series, “A Slow Path to Peace”, is just as captivating as Books 1 & 2. As Frank and Juliette began married life together on the ranch, Juliette’s daughter, Serena, and former boyfriend, David, work through their problems. This is a wonderful book with lessons in forgiveness and love.
I was given an ARC copy to review and the opinion expressed is strictly my own.
This was an excellent book to read. I really enjoyed it. It was exciting and very interesting. I suggest you go and read it right now.
I did receive an advanced copy of the book but the review is mine voluntarily.
Maggie and Frank begin their life together in Slow Path to Peace. We are always concerned about our children no matter how old they are and this is true of Maggie! Maggie ‘s daughter, Serena, faces big surprises and decisions in this book! I enjoyed learning more about life on a cattle station in Australia! I received a complimentary e-book of Slow Path to Peace: A Mature-Age Christian Romance from the author. This is my honest opinion.
Will Maggie and her husband find peace within their families?
This book is so beautifully written, and covers more of Frank and Maggie’s story, as well as Maggie’s daughter’s story. Some things within the book may make you happy, while other things make you sad. It covers a lot of things, including a story of one of the fires in Australia, which Serena’s friend was working in. So, yes, a bit of wondering how that will end. I encourage you to read this, if you have read the others. If not, please start reading the series at whatever point you are at! You will be very glad you did.
I really enjoyed reading this book! A lady whose face is scarred in a fire and a young man who is scarred on the inside from guilt about a fire when he was young! I recommend this book to anyone who likes Christian romance books!
A fantastic read that grabbed me right from the start. This read really grabs the heart strings, and had me on the edge of my seat. I love the different characters and there personalites. I was given this read. The scenes are written so well that I can picture them in my mind’s eye as if it was on the big screen. I definitely recommend

An emotional and heartwarming story showing what faith can accomplish. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.
I loved this installment in Maggie and Frank’s saga. Every time I think their story is over, another book is announced! I really liked that this book was shared with Selena and David and their paths to peace in multiple areas. I’m excited to see what the future holds for all of these characters.
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
I really enjoyed reading book 3 in this series. It can be read alone but is best read after you have read the previous two. It had some interesting twists and turns in the story leaving me wondering what was going to happen next. A truly inspirational story and a must read. I received an ARC and this review is my own thoughts on the book.
I really enjoyed this installment of the Sunburned Land series. I was drawn in to the struggles that Serena, David, Maggie, and the others went through. I was cheering for Serena to be able to come to terms with her situation. I really enjoyed the little plot twist thrown into the story as well. I would encourage everyone who wants an easy to read book that points to the fact that God is there to not take away our struggles, but walk through them with us to read this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book, but have freely chosen to share my own thoughts and opinions.
Having read the previous two books in the Sunburned Land series by Juliette Duncan, I was looking forward to continuing Frank and Maggie’s story. Slow Path to Peace finds them returning from their honeymoon to face ‘real life’ again. And real life on an Australian cattle station is hard sometimes and brings worry, worries over adult children and their difficulties, as well as worries about the financial situation of the cattle station and the new adventures that are being set in place to keep it solvent. Maggie’s daughter, Serena, and her long time boyfriend, David, are the main focus in this story as they work toward a future together or perhaps even separately. For Maggie to find true peace as she watches the struggles her daughter experience, is coming to recognize that peace is a gift from God. A gift that comes as one recognizes His presence and help in the midst of one’s trials. The characters are strong and vibrant and their emotions and actions are realistically portrayed as they deal with the difficulties of depression, unexpected circumstances, bush fires, and past tragedies. The author has deftly threaded throughout the book a firm faith in God and the importance of having a personal relationship with Him to find one’s purpose in life and to experience the inner peace we all search for. I enjoyed this series and readers who love contemporary Christian romance will not want to miss reading it.
I read a complimentary copy of the book and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
This is a wonderful story of love and forgiveness. Serena was in an explosion and messed up the side of her face. She ran her boyfriend of six years off because she was scared. She had turned from God and was trying to get better by herself. Her mother Maggie and new husband Frank Goddard kept praying for her healing. David her ex boyfriend is a fire fighter and goes to help put out a lot of fires. Maggie and Frank are also praying for him. I love the message this brings and I highly recommend reading this book. I was given a ARC of this book and I voluntarily leave this review.
Another heartfelt win for this series! I’ve always loved Australia and to continue to read stories taken place in this beautiful part of the country always warms my soul. A story that continues the love in families that grew to be our friends and seeing how God continues to move in their lives. Such amazing grace! Serena battled a path in life that leaves her struggling to go on. Maggie reaches a chapter in her life that fulfills her heart. And families grow and prosper in the most precious ways only God can orchestrate. A lovely 3rd book in the series! Looking forward to more.
I was eagerly awaiting this book. Having read the first two in the series I was keen to find out what happened to Serena and David. I was not disappointed. This story had me gripped from start to finish. It was inspiring to learn about the methods for tackling the bush fires too. So relevant and up to date. Thank you for reminding us of the challenges faced by the people of Australia. With all the other things going on in our countries it is easy to forget how other problems have caused suffering for so many. Throughout the whole book God’s redeeming love shines through. I love Maggie and Frank’s relationship and would love to see how their love continues to grow. Hope there’s another in the series. Thank you again for get another beautiful story.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book but this has in no way influenced my review which is fair and honest.
Coming back from their honeymoon – to all sorts of ‘problems’ that need to be sorted out. Families that have lived there forever and have a certain way of doing things. How can she fit it? Can her daughter be healed? Does she want to be healed? Life gives lots of challenges – and only by the grace of God can they be made right and good.
Juliette Duncan’s book Slow Path To Peace:
Serena is struggling after her experience in Paris. When Serena arrives at Goddard Downs the whole Goddard family try to help her. Maggie and Frank are both wonderful people. David knows he has to leave his apartment so he volunteered to help with the fires. Serena is scared that she will loose David all over again. I had the honor to review this book for the author for a honest review. I would give this book a higher rating than a five star review if I could. You will feel God working throughout this amazing story.
You won’t be able to stop reading this book.
The continuation of Frank and Maggie’s story has a few other twists and turns. Serena and David each have people in their lives that mirror a Christian walk and relationship with God. They help David and Serena find the peace and forgiveness they seek. Maggie is adjusting to living a different kind of life in far reaches of the country instead of city life. Frank is finding his place after giving control of Goddard Downs to his oldest son, Julian. A wonderful story of family and faith. I was given an advance reader copy of this book to review with my own thoughts.
I loved this next episode of the story of Maggie and Frank. As with other stories by this author and about this couple, there are some unexpected things that happen. I love how the author puts her Christianity into her stories. This book, for me was a real page turner. I wanted to find out what was going to happen next. I highly recommend this book. You won’t go wrong, if you like Christian fiction.
I was given an ARC, but this review is my own opinion. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
