Review:
Tales From Grace Chapel Inn has become a new favorite series of mine over the past couple of years. I love how this multi author series focuses around the importance of faith, family and friendship, and showcases how important it is to show hospitality to those around us, even when it doesn't seem to be appreciated.
As we check back in with the three Howard sisters, Lousie, Alice and Jane, we see the lovely town of Acorn Hill preparing for a town wide class reunion, and all the hi jinks and hilarity that comes along with it. This particular installment is mainly told in the viewpoint of Jane, the youngest sister. She's been roped into helping arrange the catering services for a large part of the reunion, and she's not sure she's adequately prepared for everything about to be thrown her way. Add to the fact that the inn is currently habited by a young couple who can't seem to figure out their future, a cranky older man who seems to be immune to the wonders of Grace Chapel Inn, and Jane's nemesis from high school, and it might just seem like this time the Howard sisters have bitten off more than they can chew.
However, God always has a plan, even in the stickiest of situations, and it was a pleasure getting to watch the Howard sisters navigate all the tough times by leaning on their faith, and trusting Him through everything. I appreciated how this particular title dived into some tougher issues, while still giving off all of the heartwarming vibes, and as always, it was a lovely escape from the stresses of everyday life.
This actually ended up being another one of my favorites from the series so far, and if you enjoy heartwarming Christian fiction then I'd definitely recommend this title to you.
Final Rating: 5/5.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)
