Out of a Dream

Sandy Cove Series, Book One 1

By: Rosemary Hines

Narrated by: Becky Doughty

Michelle Baron should be reveling in her new life in Sandy Cove, Oregon. From the outside it all looks idyllic. A newlywed settling into a quaint coastal town, her husband establishing himself as a junior partner in a law firm - what more could she want?

But a series of disturbing nightmares haunts Michelle. Her quest to understand these dreams leads her to the New World bookstore, where she begins a spiritual journey that will challenge her Christian heritage as well as her marriage.

Captivating characters, suspenseful story lines, and thought-provoking themes - best-selling author, Rosemary Hines crafts gripping and at times poignant tales of the challenges Christians face in contemporary culture. Known for her realistic portrayal of life and her sensitivity in tackling tough topics, her novels examine the prevalence of New Age beliefs and practices in today's world, the tragedy of suicide that touches families of all walks of life, the broken system of foster care, the need for dedicated teachers to reach out to troubled students, and the heartache of infertility as well as unwanted pregnancies and abortions. Never preachy but always leading the listener to a message of hope and redemption, Rosemary is a committed follower of Christ. The novels of the Sandy Cove series - Out of a Dream, Through the Tears, and Into Magnolia - convey profound Christian messages that touch hearts of believers and nonbelievers alike. Refreshingly honest and true to life, the characters resonate with readers and become their friends, and the story lines transition seamlessly from one novel to the next.

Great Christian fiction with a very real message!

What did you love best about Out of a Dream?

Though it is a fictional story, the message of hope and deliverance are very real! Rosemary does a wonderful job of creating real life characters and situations, and developing them into a believable, engrossing story. For anyone looking for answers to questions about "new age" philosophies, this is an excellent resource to read and/or pass on.
I have read all the books so far in this series and was so delighted to be able to listen to the audio version. The reader did a great job!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Out of a Dream?

When Michelle finds the truth that she has been searching for for most of her life.

Have you listened to any of Becky Doughty’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but this one was excellent!

If you could take any character from Out of a Dream out to dinner, who would it be and why?

It would be Michelle's grandfather...I would love to hear him tell this story from his "bbehind the scenes" view of prayers, hearing God's voice and seeing the answers come.

Awesome Read

Cant wait to read Volume 2! I have a friend dealing with spiritual beliefs. Im recommending this book!!!

Wonderful story

This book has such a beautiful message. It shows that the new age way of thinking , that is permitting society even today, is so easily taught and believed by so many. Even in the church it can sound like a great idea. Sustain yourself,you are able to be in control of your life and situation. You are strong. Not that we are all sinners and need to rely on Gods strength not our own. Thank you for the message of salvation, Rosemary. God bless you.

Giving Up

This book might be better to read than listen because the narrators sugary presentation is so distracting that I cannot finish it.

Out of a Dream

I have had this audio for so long, being kept in a ' To be read' folder, it has served a purpose for me and came in the right time of my life. It is a beautiful story and teaches us that we must not lose our faith. Thank you. The narration was very good.
