Did you ever read a book so good that you struggle to find your next read? Yeah, that's where I'm at after reading Brian Hartman's Sacrificial Touch. I have tried a few books from my TBR pile but nothing is catching my attention, so I am re reading an old favorite.
Sacrificial Touch sticks with you long after you are done reading it, The premise of God giving you the one thing you want even though it comes with a catch is intriguing. I loved the characters in this book. Cameron and Addison were very realistic. The fact that Cameron's gift restored people's faith in God was fantastic. This book was my favorite book read in January and is most likely going to be high on my top ten list for 2025.
So grab a beverage, a snack and a blanket then turn off your phone and snuggle up for a great read.
All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
Life as an ER doctor is intense. A shift can turn from mundane to insane in a matter of moments depending on what walks in, or crawls in, the door. Dr. Cameron Turner was no stranger to death. It happened all the time in the ER, but usually not to the doctor. When an irate patient loses control, Cameron crumbles to the ground with a mortal wound.
While the team races to save their colleague from certain death, Cameron opens his eyes and finds himself face-to-face with God. He is offered something he has sought his entire life. The ability to heal anyone of anything, but it comes with a catch that only he knows about. The gift is not unlimited, and its expiration date matches his own.
Cameron must choose when to use the gift, and faces unforeseen consequences when his choice angers those around him, including inside his own family. The world proves it is not prepared for undeniable acts of God which sends Cameron into hiding for his own safety. Robbed of his freedom and his family, he plans an epic finale that will change the hearts of even those who persecuted him.
Reviewer's comments: Your book kept me riveted, and I managed to squeeze in time to read it, and just finished a few minutes ago. I have read a lot of Christian fiction, and it can be pretty predictable at times. Your book was not! I really enjoyed it, and the message was excellent.
