[.ca] The Invitation (ISBN 1576733521)

Nothing is impossible:
In reading "The Invitation" I was invited into a new style of Christian fiction. Much of what I've read previously has focused on pedestrian romances, historical drama and Christians who lead such perfect lives that they just seem "far too good to be true". Nancy Moser introduces five very ordinary characters, each with real fears, doubts and problems. In the very ordinariness of these people, Moser is able to show the impact of God in their lives and their growth as they come to know more about who God is and to walk out in their faith. Throughout the book I found that my own life and faith was challenged and that my understanding of God grew through witnessing the experiences of the five visitors to Haven. If you want a book that is only good for gathering dust please look again. If instead you want a powerfully dramatic book which offers the possibility of growth in your faith then this is one for you.

More thought provoking than "Left Behind" series:
You may "pull an all-nighter" when you start reading this book. The author held my interest, entertained me, and was thought provoking at the same time. A story of 5 different people who are invited to meet in a small Kansas town to explore their purpose in life. Each of the 5 people has a distinct character. One of the 5 is a homeless person who ends up with a suprise background. This book is the first of a three book series with a forth book on the way. Caution...this book may change the way you view your life and purpose as well as the life and purpose of others.

Might be better than "Left Behind" series!:
Here's a "real page turner" that will have a hard time putting down as you read about the lives of five people who are invited to a Kansas town for a special meeting. Very, very thought provoking. You like the follow-up books, too. #2 - The Quest; #3 - The Temptation.

A Heartfelt and Inspired Book:
The first few chapters of this book definitely captured my attention. While I won't say that the ending was a huge surprise, the book was undeniably well written--rich in description with a strong sense of both the physical and supernatural worlds. I look forward to watching Moser's characters' lives continue to unfold in "The Quest."
