Now It Will Spring Forth

How do you maintain your faith in times of trouble or trauma? What if the trauma had long-lasting effects, perhaps for the rest of your life? Would you still feel that God's got your back? Would you have the courage to live out your convictions? Kelly, a junior at Westmont College in 1981, suffers a traumatic experience which changes her life. Can she rebuild with the help of her family, friends, and college community? How will the trauma affect her faith? What joys can be uncovered in the healing process? And will she ever be able to love again? This story of romance, heartbreak, joy, and faith will inspire you ... and summon you to a confidence that works itself out in reality.

A study guide is also available on Amazon which allows the reader to use the novel as a Bible study, whether in a group setting or individually. Explanations are given, along with suggestions for using this in a Cadre (and how to start a Cadre), a Sunday School or Bible study, for homeschool or family devotions, or in one's individual study or journaling practice. Questions encourage the reader to dig deep, finding the ways Scripture answers the needs we face today, and use the principles illustrated by the characters to establish an intimate and effective personal walk with God.

Please note that the first scene in this book is jarring. It is a somewhat graphic scene with some swearing. The rest of the book is not like this. However, if you would prefer a gentler version, one is available. Look for Now It Will Spring Forth - Gentle Version. The Gentle Version is also recommended for church groups and mixed groups (less awkward).

Also note that this is the same story as Beauty for Ashes, the original first book in the series. It is rewritten in a much more powerful way.
