The Keys Penni Elaine

Christian fiction writer Penni Elaine does something special in The Keys, a modern allegory of unfulfilled grace. With a spellbinding storyline and pitch perfect prose, she examines how it is God allows suffering, what He thinks of mankind?s shortfalls and failures, and ultimately, man?s choice to believe or reject the essence of His grace. In twelve chapters with titles such as ?Unsettled,? ?Unseen,? and ?Unexpected,? the histories and personal sagas of 12 inmates are woven into a powerful scaffold. After finding freedom, each prisoner is called by the protagonist, the Lover, to release others. There is the Seeker, who is released in spite of her powerful husband?s protests, and whose path may lead her back into unwanted captivity, and the Wounded One and the Thinker, who will discover that freedom requires more than leaving a cell behind. In the end, this readable theology will challenge your view of God, His love, and the extravagance of His grace.
