I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. In This book Callie has many choices. Lorana writes eloquently about a very controversial subject abortion . What is the right thing to do when your single and pregnant? The book takes you through her thought and moral process and then she has to decide which man is the one? Good Story
A well written thought provoking and tastefully handled book that deals with abortion and how some poor and good choices that are made. A happy outcome when trusting in God with tastefully handled facts. A great romantic inspirational message of faith, love, and hope.
This was such a remarkable story of overcoming the past and learning to trust in and follow Jesus. The characters were believable and the story well paced. It is nice to see how a person can share their faith with others without being preachy. I highly recommend this read.
Lorana does a phenomenal job narrating book also.
Loved it! Such a great storyline! Definitely a must read/listen to book! Awesome job on the narrating! It’s such a realistic storyline!
I really enjoyed The Power of Prayer! I loved seeing one women making a wrong choice, but then getting to see the ripple effect as she helped others not make the same choice. I highly recommend if you like clean stories with purpose.
When I started this book I wasn’t sure if I would like it or where it was going. About a third of the way through I became very interested in how it would end. I am impressed with how the abortion issue is addressed. I feel anyone, male or female, considering an abortion read this book. Very tastefully handled with true facts. I highly recommend it! I was also given an audible copy of the book by the author. I love how it is read & highly recommend it also.
he Power of Prayer
A Clean Second Chance Romance (Heartbeats, Book 2)
By: Lorana Hoopes
Narrated by: Lorana Hoopes
Lorana Hoopes writes beautiful romances, and in this one she tackles some controversial subjects with grace. We meet Callie, who is absorbed with getting ahead. When she is left at the alter by her fiance, she decides to go away. Not in the best frame of mind, her decisions are not the best, except for one. She meets JD, and this man has the potential to change her life. As all the chaos is going on in her life, Callie’s mother starts a prayer chain for her. And from there, we get to see how things play out for this troubled woman. Hoopes has a way of writing that instills faith in God, and gives us a feeling of hope. There are some scenes that are troubling, but as I listened, I found the message Hoopes wants to send. Callie is someone I found relatable, and my heart went out to her. JD is a strong man, and has definite values. He is sure of his feelings and I love that. It’s a great story with a wonderful message. Narrated by Hoopes, we get the full effect of the story, as it is meant to be given. Her voices are wonderful and she enhances her story with the perfect inflections.

A great Christian romance about God’s love and forgiveness. This story has imperfect, believable characters and a plot with many twists. While not preachy, this novel shows how listening to God can help turn around your life. Covers many difficult topics well. A book that should be read by everyone.
By the end I felt like the characters were friends of mine. It is well written and draws you in to find out what is next.
