A lot of it is when I look at the Scriptures I see this commitment, this devotion, this hardcore 'we will follow, we'll do anything, we're all about going out and making disciples.'" Responding to Driscoll during a frank discussion – that also included Pastor Joshua Harris of Gaithersburg, Maryland – about his decision, Chan said, "A lot of it is personal. He preached his last sermon there in May and has since been speaking to Christians and pastors alike about his restlessness with comfortable Christianity and his desire to surrender himself fully to God. "What is going on? What are you thinking?"Ĭhan announced in April that he would be letting go of Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, California – a church he founded 16 years ago – to follow a stirring in his heart. You got a good church going on and you hit the eject button and now you're the international man of fu Manchu mystery," said Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle. Everybody thinks you're cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Popular author and preacher Francis Chan was recently questioned by fellow pastors who are trying to get their heads around Chan's decision to leave his megachurch.

Sundry couples from previous five books people the opening, but I didn’t feel late to the party. Vincent (who, I realized with delight, is son to Sebastian and Evangeline of The Devil In Winter!) and Lady Pandora’s, the eponymous Cassandra’s twin. Instead, I found a deeper, funnier, more relaxed Kleypas, a narrative richer in humour and characterization and less inclined to melodrama.Ĭhasing Cassandra opens with a wedding and ends with domestic contentment: the opening wedding being Gabriel, Lord St. I thought I’d encounter the usual Kleypas fare, overprotective hero, heroine in peril, intense love scenes … and, Chasing Cassandra has some of that, but they’re not what stands out. (On the other hand, there were those Kleypas woo-woo books I’d rather forget.) Kleypas went the way of contemporary romance, I started reading a variety of new, interesting romance writers and somehow, our paths never again converged until the pandemic saw a certain publisher largesse and I scored an e-galley of Chasing Cassandra. Derek Craven remains one of my favourite heroes and Devil In Winter, one of my favourite romances. Lisa Kleypas’s romances were some of the first I ever read upon returning to the genre after 30 years away. Throughout the series, Seth and his sister learn lessons unique to each individual.įablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star Unlike his sister though, Seth's main trait is courage. Like Kendra, he has this really strange knack for managing to stay alive in the trickiest situations, even though he is often mortally wounded, and never gives up. Though formidable even as an individual, he and Kendra, working together, were unstoppable. Seth, due to his curious, out-going nature, often has to learn everything the hard way.
