The Reluctant Prophet: A Novel

Review: The Reluctant Prophet - The Reluctant Prophet Series #1 - Nancy Rue - October 2010

Family and doing unto others for Alison Chamberlain has never been very high on her list as Alison had a hard life , being disowned by her wealthy parents at 18 and going to live with her Nanny Sylvia , just to have her parents a few years later die via the hands of a disgruntled employee in the form of a car bomb, and then her Nanny died. All Alison has got is a house , her job at the stables as a carriage tour driver and her involvement for the last seven years in church. Now at the age of 42, Alison is about to recieve a nugde from the Almighty and a Joan of Arcadia God moment where God will tell Alison to buy a motorbike and not just any motorbike but a Harley. When things start to fall in place, Alison starts to wonder what she has been called to do as her divine interventions take her down streets, roads and corners of St Augustine that people know to stay away from. It is here she meets addict Geneveve and her 12yr old son Desmond aka Clarence and Alison opens her home to them , as the novel starts to build up a momentum and rhythm , we see Alison buying a house and opening up a home for women who want to get off the streets. A novel that represents the image of the modern day Mary Magadelene's of God's time and for those who enjoyed Karen Kingsbury's book "Divine".
