Forever Hilltop – Book Review

Forever Hilltop is two books in one volume. The books are:

An Unlikely Blessing

Meet Alex Armstrong, former city dweller who has just accepted his first parish assignment to a small community in the wilds of North Dakota. In HilltopTownship, Alex becomes familiar with the colorful residents and their odd traditions, from rommegrot to lutefisk. And then there’s the excitement the single pastor creates among the unmarried women in the community! Alex soon discovers that his new church home has as much to teach him as he has to teach them, providing all with An Unlikely Blessing.

Surprising Grace

Alex Armstrong is settling into his new role as pastor of Hilltop Church, and he’s even starting to understand the strange ways of the people who populate this barren stretch of North Dakota prairie. But he also finds that his flock needs help and counsel like he never imagined. In this cozy and entertaining read, Alex must choose between the woman he once planned to marry-and the home he’s come to love.

 

This book is a delightful read.  The vast majority of Christian fiction has female main characters, and I found it very refreshing that the main character in this volume is Alex Armstrong. Alex has lived in the city his entire life. He never pictured himself living in the country. God has other plans for him, though. Plans that have Alex moving to the North Dakota prairie to pastor not one, but two churches, at the same time. Forever Hilltop follows Pastor Alex as he adjusts to life in the country and further seeks God’s will for his life.

Forever Hilltop is a good, clean book that I will have not problem sharing with my teenage daughter. She will be very happy! I thoroughly enjoyed reading Forever Hilltop and highly recommend it.

 

Along Wooded PathsJudy Baer was born and grew up on a farm on the prairies of North Dakota, experiencing many of the same things as her Hilltopcharacters. An only child, she spent most of her days with imaginary people-either those she read about or those she made up in her head.

Baer graduated from Concordia College with majors in English and education and a minor in religion. While at the time, she was simply studying what interested her, Baer later realized that she was educating herself for her future career as a Christian writer. She certainly put her education to use as she is the author of more than 75 books.

A certified professional life coach now certified in three coaching disciplines, Baer coaches primarily professional and aspiring writers. She is also a faculty advisor in the Department of Human Development at St. Mary’s University in Minneapolis, MN. Baer has two daughters and three step children. She and her husband live in Minnesota.
