JustRead Tours Blog Tour: The Resurrection Project by Tanya Sparks Belvin

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for The Resurrection Project by Tanya Sparks Belvin, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: The Resurrection Project
Series: The Resurrection Project Series #1
Author: Tanya Sparks Belvin
Publisher: Tonya Belvin Publishing
Release Date: September 11, 2023
Genre: Christian Futuristic, Medical Mystery

In 2034, medical student Ellen McCarthy took an internship at the mysterious Grindland Institute to fulfill a graduation requirement. But what at first seems like a boring job supervising children soon has her tangled in questions about the Institute’s Resurrection Project. Meanwhile, ER nurse Mamie Simpson is grieving the loss of her daughter, Lainey, and hoping against hope that a new scientific breakthrough will provide a miracle for her and her husband. When Ellen and Mamie's paths eventually cross, both will have to take steps of faith and courage they didn’t think possible to help save the life of a special little girl.

Christian Futuristic with Mystery is a new genre that I have discovered recently. The Resurrection Project by Tanya Sparks Belvin is the most recent book that I have read in this genre. It is Book 1 in The Resurrection Project Series. 

I will say it took me a couple of chapters to really get the storyline and understand the book. The setting of the book is 2034 at Grindland Institute. The main characters of the book are Ellen McCarthy and Mamie Simpson. Ellen, a Medical Student, gets a job at the Institute to get credit for Graduation. She wasn't thrilled about the job as it involved taking care of Children. Mamie Simpson is an ER Nurse and also grieving for her young daughter. Ellen and Mamie meet each other and they become instant friends and encouragement to one another. They also want to make sure no one else has to grieve for a young child and want to find a way to save the life of a little girl. I have to say that thought it took me a bit to get interested in the book, I ended up really enjoying the story. The author does a FANTASTIC job at interweaving Science and Faith. I thought the book was going to have a more Science slant, but it was VERY Faith filled. I LOVE how the characters not only trusted Science, but their Faith in God was even stronger. The friendship formed between the Intern and the Nurse and her family, was just amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Faith and Science! GREAT BOOK!

I really enjoy Christian Historical Fiction books. Rebel Light by Marilyn Turk is the lastest in this genre that I have read. It is Book 1 in the Coastal Lights Legacy series. I am excited to read this series, especially since I am reading it from the first book. 

WOW, what an intriguing and well written start to this series. The setting is 1861, Civil war period in Pensacola and Apalachicola, Florida. The main characters in this book are Kate McFarlane, Lieutenant Clay Harris and Kate's Aunt Sally. Kate has a rebellious lifestyle and in the midst of the war hides on her Dad's Ship, as he is a Merchant Business Captain. She is discovered and sent to live with her Aunt Sally, in Apalachicola. Kate and Aunt Sally begin taking care of a Shipwrecked Solider, Joshua Jones. Joshua is a Union Solider, the enemy, but the Love and Tender Care that Kate and Aunt Sally give to him is unmeasurable. Lt. Clay, Confederate Solider, has growing interest in Kate, Kate is very unsure about Lt. Clay as his actions towards many are unkind and not the type of person Kate wants to be associated with. Kate really shows her "Grown Up" side when she has important decisions to make for the safety of so many. There are many twists and turns in this storyline that it keep me reading until I finished it. The story is one of Trust, Kindness and God's plans are greater then ours. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Historical Romantic Fiction. FANTASTIC BOOK!

More from Marilyn

When I moved to Florida, I “met” my first lighthouse in person, the Pensacola Lighthouse. I was hooked on lighthouses from then on. I’ve always been interested in Civil War history as well, since so much of it took place in the south where I live, and I’ve been curious about what it was like to live in Florida during the war. Research on the subject got my creative wheels turning, and the story of Rebel Light was born. The book takes place in the beginning of the Civil War in Florida and shows the effects it had on the people living in the area. I loved the story of Katherine, the only child of a seafaring father, as she matures after leaving her familiar home in Pensacola and finds herself in an unfamiliar place where she has to abandon the rigid societal  confines of her former life and become an asset to her hardy great aunt in Apalachicola.

These characters are like my good friends, and I love them and their personalities. In fact, I love them so much, I wrote a sequel to Katherine’s story, Revealing Light, and thus the whole series of the Coastal Lights Legacy was born.

Ben comes to town and all the women are gushing at the "Handsome Visitor". LeEtta allows her emotions to get the best of her and quickly gives Ben a kiss, even though he is a stranger.

The Story Behind the Story with Mindy Steele

A Stolen Kiss

I’m always seeking the not-so-ordinary plot for one of my stories. So, when our youngest son and his intended traded a look one evening, something struck a cord in my always moving imagination. Mind you, Blake told me when he was ten, riding a new bus to a new school, that he met the girl that he was going to marry. So cute, yet, they married in May, eleven years later. A Stolen Kiss is not love at first sight. It’s not even love over-the-years, but that one moment birthed a new character. LeEtta Miller. Not all love stories are as beautiful as our son’s, but all love stories are worth telling.

I’m an author of romance, love inspired stories weaving through rural landscapes where characters unveil themselves into realistic people most of us are glad to know. Romantic fiction gives readers what no other genre seems to offer. It’s an escape, a hope. Hope across illness, loss, despair, and uncertainty. Its community, knowledge, a gathering of friends, unity, while representing comfort.

We all want to add more love to our lives. After all, it is the greatest gift God has given us. Gentle or fast moving, we are sucked in to reach those glorious chapters of a first kiss and a promising tomorrow.

But, what if the kiss came sooner? What if love isn’t fast moving, but something earned and quietly obtained through slow familiarity.

LeEtta Miller is quite the rule follower and people pleaser. I’ve shaken my head at her quite often as I got to know her. LeEtta also feels as if life is passing her by. How many times have we’ve been in those pair of shoes? In one bold moment, she’ll through caution to the wind, and act, impulsively. Thus we get introduced to Benuel Ropp, who’s visiting his grandparents, hoping to earn enough money to buy his own land, back in Ohio. As events escalate, from a chance meeting to an binding union, these two young characters are thrown into new roles neither of them intended. I’ve never laughed more writing LeEtta and Ben’s story, and hope it brings joy, hope, and a wiliness to accept that the mistakes we make in life, are only rocky paths leading us to where we belong.

May you never stop making mistakes and following love’s calling,

Mindy

Book Description:

Despite the deadly virus that caused borders to close and governments to fall ten years earlier, fourteen-year-old Charlotte and her family have lived a challenging yet relatively peaceful life, isolated on their acreage in rural Nova Scotia. However, when Charlotte discovers that an interloper has infiltrated their property, she must decide between keeping the potential threat a secret or embracing the potential for companionship that the intrusion represents. As the chaotic world that lurks outside the fence surrounding her farm disrupts Charlotte’s life even further, she must reach deep within herself and find the courage to become the mature young woman she claims to be—or risk losing everything that she and her family have worked so hard to build.

Young Adult Fiction is a genre that I still enjoy every once in a while. I was really intrigued to read this novel as the synopsis is really interesting. THE AFTER by Joanne Taylor is the latest book in this genre that I have read. It is Book 1 in The After Series. 

WOW, this book really captivated me from the very beginning and I didn't stop reading until I finished the book. The main character is in the book is 14yr old Charlotte, who lives in Nova Scotia with her family on their farm. Charlotte feels isolated from others due to a virus that ravaged the Country and Government 10yrs ago. Her life is changed when she meets a girl her age, Anna. Anna and Charlotte become friends rather quickly and their friendship is good for Charlotte as she comes out of her shell and the adventures she has are very intriguing. I LOVE how the author not only gives a glimpse at the past and current events, but goes into the future. The book is filled with Mystery and Intrigue. It is Dystopia based, which is a genre that I have come to enjoy. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone, but the age group of 10yrs through 15yrs old would truly enjoy this book. GREAT BOOK!
