When registered nurse Alina Dixon is targeted in a brutal attack, her ordinary life shatters beyond recognition. Thrust into an underworld of espionage, intrigue, and danger at every turn, she is increasingly desperate to learn who she can trust. But true intentions are hidden. And her enemies may be closer than her friends. Former military and MI5 Agent Blane Burns is haunted by the tragedies of his past. When asked to join the FBI to track down the ghost responsible for Alina’s attack, he’s resolved to doubt everything and trust no one.

As they travel internationally amidst new secrets and betrayal, Alina and Blane will need to stay one step ahead of a shadowy organization to stop a global threat and ultimately stay alive. At the same time, Blane will have to learn to trust the beautiful nurse under his protection if he ever hopes to save her. And if he ever hopes to save himself.

ISBN: 1948969815

Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Most of us are regular people who have good days and bad days. Our lives are radically ordinary and unexciting. That means they're the kind of lives God gets excited about. While the world worships beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, the foolish, working in unawesome people, things, and places.In our day of celebrity worship and online posturing, this is a refreshing, even transformative way of understanding God and our place in his creation. It urges us to treasure a life of simplicity, to love those whom the world passes by, to work for God's glory rather than our own. And it demonstrates that God has always been the Lord of the cross--a Savior who hides his grace in unattractive, inglorious places.Your God Is Too Glorious reminds readers that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it's the regular, everyday people that God tends to use to do his most important work.
