Pursuing Gold Book Review

About the book:

img_1850

Pursuing Gold (Elk Lake, October 2016)

With his father dead and his business partner incapacitated, Peter Chandler inherits the leadership of a bank in economic crisis.

With only a newly-minted college degree and little experience, Peter joins his partner’s daughter, Mary Beth Roper, in a struggle to keep C&R Bank afloat while the Civil War rages around Chattanooga. Political pressure for unsecured loans of gold to the government stirs up trouble as tempers and prices rise. Their problems multiply when Mary Beth discovers counterfeit money with Peter’s forged signature. Can they find the forger before the bank fails? The two friends must pursue gold on behalf of their business, as they learn to pursue their heavenly Father to find hope and peace.

My Thoughts:

Civil War period novels are my favorite and this one did not disappoint. Filled with drama and hardship of the day, this book shares about two friends partnering together to save their bank.  However, this was not easy and the plot shares the ups and downs of their story as they learn to trust and depend on each other, and most importantly, Jesus. Dealing with counterfeit money and political issues of the day saving this bank is no easy task but much is learned through the process. This is a must read and a book you won’t forget. I look forward to reading more books from this author.

I was given this book by Litfuse.

Hi friends. Welcome to my website. I have a disability called Cerebral Palsy, but have learned over the years that my CP does not define me. Jesus Christ is my identity, not a disability. Read More…
