Dodging Destiny - Second Edition

Destiny Trilogy, Book 1

De: Derinda Babcock

Narrado por: Emma Baker

Lexie Logan thought she could run from God... And, like the prophet Jonah, faced a life storm of epic proportions.

Lexie knows God has called her to the mission field of Guatemala as a missionary's wife, but she has no intention of obeying. She wants to finish an advanced degree in music and win a coveted chair with the Topeka Symphony.

As she waits to speak to an advisor, she pillows her head on her arms in the library of Kansas State University in June 2014, and wakes up in the back of a Conestoga wagon in June 1857, four years before the Civil War. Kansas is not a state, women do not have the vote, and slavery divides the nation.

Homesteaders find her asleep on the prairie and take her in. While living with this family, God teaches her many things about obedience, trust, faithfulness, and love, but the most important lesson she learns is there is no place in time or space she can go to run from God, and that nothing can separate her from His love. When given a second chance, will she obey though risk is involved, or will she play it safe and settle for second-best?

Perfect for listeners of Christian time-travel and historical fiction who enjoy frontier settings, clean romance, and heartfelt stories of obedience, faith, and God's unfailing grace.
