Slip into the fire glow next to a lonely stranger with a terrible secret and a hometown girl trying to escape past hurts, and watch Christmas light and love warm even the coldest places.With so many ways to celebrate the season, one reason undergirds them all-and the Christmas stars of Homewood never tire of telling His story!

Her love seems to have passed him by. Little does he know that true covenant Love is knocking at his door. Kethin Ellith's life is brimful: a new town, his dream job working with people and animals, an active social life, and now a spunky, godly woman who has captured his heart. But how can he have any sort of relationship with her when she's not even interested in a single conversation? Faeth Dale delights in being an avid flower gardener and the middle sister of a lively, close-knit family. She has her own non-negotiable reasons for avoiding all male friendships, particularly with spiritually shallow men like Kethin. But would Adon Olam give her this apparently conflicted guidance? When rejection, grief, and longing jolt Kethin's reality, knowing love seems permanently beyond him. And what is this spiritual concept of covenant he keeps encountering? As his struggles in this new relationship with Adon Olam intertwine with the struggles of his heart, Kethin comes face to face with both the starkness and breathtaking gloriousness of divine love itself-and a decision that costs him everything. A family-friendly Biblically-centered romance novel for those who avoid romance novels, Romance's Rest follows big-hearted, animal-loving Kelton through his quest to know the true meaning of love-and covenant relationship with Adon Olam.
