Wow! To say this book was challenging to write, is an understatement. When I was asked to join 'The Potter's House Books' as an author, I knew I needed to tell this story. I also knew it would be a tricky subject (or two) to write about. (And I can vouch that the enemy didn't want me to write it!) A Vow Redeemed shares the journey of Gabby and Justin Greenstone, after Gabby uncovers Justin's pornography addiction. After losing sight of their first love (God) and each other, the story shares the couple's journey of fighting their way back from the clutches of a pornography addiction. The devil loves nothing better than to see families destroyed, and many families have been torn apart from the insidious effects of pornography. It is a subject that is too-often taboo in Christian circles. While it is rife in the secular world, and often seen as 'normal' and 'harmless', it is an addiction that doesn't discriminate. Many Christians (both male and female) struggle with pornography, and it is an addiction that brings shame, humiliation, condemnation and feelings of worthlessness. Its effect on society is far-reaching - and throughout A Vow Redeemed, I touch on how Justin's addiction not only impacts his own life, but also that of his wife and children. While dealing with a tricky subject, the overarching theme throughout A Vow Redeemed is of hope and redemption. Nothing is too big for our God. Nothing can separate us from His love. He offers us unconditional love, forgiveness and redemption through His amazing grace. Blessings. Kristen.x A Vow Redeemed - available now. Read 'The Potter's House Books' here.

What we dwell on really affects not only our own life but the lives of others. It is so easy to get our eyes off Jesus and lose that first love. My first prayer as a new Christian many years ago was for bridal love for Jesus. I've often let my Christian walk become "ho-hum" and had to repent and return to the first love I'd had.

Praise the Lord for having the courage to tackle a topic which is often swept under the table! You did a great job and proved that Christian fiction is not just fluff! This was truly a story of hope, redemption, and second chances! <3
