We’ve heard the clichés: “All that glitters ain’t gold”, “Money can’t buy happiness”, and “Money is the root of all evil”. So why do many people still continue to pursue the American Dream of wealth or the desire to “get rich quick”? While having an abundance of money can make some things easier in life, proceed with caution—the view at the top is not always as fabulous as it appears. Until tragedy strikes, no one really knows what’s going on behind the doors of the 10,000 square foot Beverly Hills home? What lies in the soul underneath the designer labeled clothes? Or how much effort it takes a celebrity to smile for the camera with a broken spirit? The recent spotlight on celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole Smith, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan, exemplifies how happiness within cannot be defined simply by material possessions.
In Blessings of Purpose, tragedy causes Lia Conrad to put the reckless ways of her teenage years behind and give her life to Christ. At 25 years old, she lives a content, Christian life mentoring to the youth as a high school counselor and youth ministry leader at church. Fulfilling God’s purpose gave her peace in life. Then—when she wasn't looking— love finds her. Lia meets Nigel Braxton, a 27-year-old aspiring movie producer and Christian from Los Angeles. When Nigel gets his big break in the movie industry, he wants to share his fortune and life with Lia. Once married, they are confronted with situations that cause a struggle between their luxurious Hollywood lifestyle and commitment to God. Through trials and tribulations comes their revelation of what it truly means to be blessed.
Alicia Hill Jones is one of the newest pens in Christian fiction.
