Tragedy, pain, turmoil, and despair seem to be the theme for Lakea Johnson as she experiences more abuse and loss in her already broken life. Lakea struggles with old demons while trying to be a great mother and aunt, but new demons find her – ripping her heart out and dimming her light.

After an abusive relationship and losing her brothers, Lakea feels that all hope is gone. Then God brings her another love – Daniel. Daniel offers Lakea a love even stronger than Jeremy’s and helps her to see that God has given her another chance at a wonderful life. Things are really good for a while, so good that Lakea lets her guard down and begins to live and love again.

Death makes a house call – snatching the closest person to her, and leaving her a shell of her former self. Lakea is wrapped up in the only thing she has even known: PAIN!

Can Lakea ever truly be happy? If she does, can she maintain that happiness, or will hate, pain, and violence find its way back into her life somehow?

How to celebrate Easter becomes a balancing act for Christian and Joy Andersen and their four children. Chocolate bunnies, colorful stuffed baskets and flashy fashion shows are their competition.

Despite the enticements, Christian refuses to succumb without a fight. And it becomes a tug of war when his recently adopted ten year-old daughter, Bethani, wants to participate in her friend’s Easter tradition.

Christian hopes he has instilled Proverbs 22:6, into the children’s heart in the short time of being their dad.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write A Christian Easter?

Pat Simmons: I wanted to see more Christ-centered celebration in Easter. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Pat Simmons, author of A Christian Easter →
