Divine

By: Karen Kingsbury

Narrated by: Sharon Williams

Mary Madison was a child of unspeakable horrors, a young woman society wanted to forget. Now a divine power has set Mary free to bring life-changing hope and love to battered and abused women living in the shadow of the nation's capital.

Mary is educated and redeemed, a powerful voice in Washington, D.C. both to the politically elite and women like her. But she also has a past that shamed polite society. The experiences created in her paralyzing fear, faithlessness, addiction, and promiscuity. At the crossroads of her life, only one power set Mary free and gave her a lifetime of love and hope. A power that could only be divine.

Peggy Madison is Mary's grandmother, a quiet woman who has spent her life praying for her granddaughter. Peggy clings to the belief that God has a special plan for Mary. Through years of sorrow and longing, Peggy walks the journey in faith and watches from a distance as one key person after another comes into Mary's life and demonstrates the timeless, powerful love of the Master, the Savior. The divine Lord.

Emma Randall is a single mother fleeing an abusive relationship, wondering whether there is hope for her and her young daughters. She is desperate, broken, and unloved, tempted to commit the unthinkable. Then Mary Madison introduces Emma to the greatest love of all, greater than any either of them has ever imagined.

Touching Story

What did you love best about Divine?

How both women learned about the love of God and how His forgiveness is free to anyone. I think it shows the importance of sharing our testimony.

What other book might you compare Divine to and why?

Redeeming Love

What does Sharon Williams bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She brought the characters to life with her great performance.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, several.

A story of redemption, love, & God's faithfulness.

This was a great story, although at times hard to read because the reality that the characters were facing were so sad. Not a story I could listen to with my 2 year old around, but just is a great story of God's redeeming love.

Another wonderful book

It was to intense to listen to around my kids but otherwise a good book.

Beautiful uplifting story of redemption and hope

Lots of hard sad issues but the love of Jesus shines through. Mary's story was one of peace and triumph.

Great book!

I have read a lot of Karen Kingsberry books, but this one was just different. Lots of tears with this one such a heartbreaking story.
