Yesterday's Promise, by Vanessa Miller

Here is my review of Yesterday's Promise, a novel by Vanessa Miller. I enjoyed it very much, and I will definitely read it again.

Yesterday's Promise, by Vanessa Miller, is a heartwarming Christian Fiction novel.

As I read through Yesterday's Promise, I found myself drawn to the characters, and I became so absorbed in the book that I didn't even notice that an hour and a half had passed as I read it until I looked up at the clock. The storyline drew me in, and I found that I was cheering each of the individual characters on as they went through a tough part.

Melinda Johnson feels betrayed when her father retires and hands his position as Bishop of the Omega Christian Center to another, after promising to hand it to her. The fact that he broke his promise is made worse by the fact that the new Bishop that he appointed is Steven Marks, who is opposed to female pastors, and, as if that weren't enough to make Melinda not like him, he is also her ex-fiancé.
But Steven has a daughter, Brianna, that is still struggling with the death of her mother, much like Melinda did. Brianna becomes attached to Melinda, and in turn, Melinda loves being around the adorable little girl.

And as Melinda sees Steven more frequently, the long suppressed attraction between them springs to life again. But Melinda still firmly believes that she is called to preach, and Steven is still just as opposed to female pastors. Can they both set aside pains from the past and forgive each other? Can they give love a second chance in their lives? Or will their opposing positions keep them apart forever?

Yesterday's Promise is a wonderful novel that I would recommend to anyone who wanted a really good read. Vanessa Miller is a excellent writer, and any other books that I see that she has written, I am most certainly going to read them.
