CHRISTIAN FICTION · THE SHORE SERIES BOOK ONE · NEW RELEASE · AVAILABLE NOW
The Second Shore by Faith Marlowe
A reflective Christian novel about grief, doubt, forgiveness and the possibility of coming home. Each of the six parts closes with a Scripture-based reflection woven naturally into the story.
Nell Calloway returns to Amity Harbor intending to empty her grandmother Ruth’s house, settle the estate and leave before the past can ask anything of her. Instead, she finds a wooden box filled with more than sixty years of letters to God. In Ruth’s private words are questions Nell thought faithful people were never supposed to ask.

Faith does not require us to avoid difficult questions.
Christian Books HQ exists for readers who want Christian material that takes both belief and questioning seriously. Some people encounter those questions through stories about loss, relationships and hope. Others encounter them through history, biblical texts, philosophy and evidence. Our aim is to create books and resources that respect both approaches.
No manufactured certainty. No invented endorsements. No pretending complicated questions are simple.
