Cherished

Written by Kim Cash Tate

Narrated by Machelle Williams

Before healing can begin for two women struggling with feelings of guilt from their pasts, they need to believe they are worth cherishing.

Kelli London once dreamed of being a songwriter. As crazy as it seemed, she hoped God would use the lyrics that came to her even while she slept. She dreamed about Brian too, that the love they shared as high-school students would grow into marriage. But choices that still haunt her destroyed those dreams. Until now—when a series of love letters reawakens her hope for the future.

Heather Anderson's life has spun out of control—first, an affair with a married man, then a one-night stand with the drummer of a popular Christian band has left her devastated. Broken and alone, she cried out to the only One able to save her. He met her there, but it was just the beginning. Because now she must take a different path. And the one God has planned for her looks nothing like the one she envisioned.

As Kelli and Heather awaken to their true worth, they find the freedom to pursue their dreams—and relationships—based on the security of knowing God's unconditional love.

Reviews for Cherished

[Geri Lorde · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It’s difficult for me to name my favorite part of the book ?.
This book covers very important topics in Christ centered relationships; God’s Redemptive Love, the Power of Forgiveness, and New Beginnings.
This book was very encouraging. I can’t wait to read her next book ?.

I loved the progression of the book and seeing the character development. The story is so real and relatable. I found myself being able to resonate with both Heather and Kelly even though my story is different from the 2 of them. I love how the Gospel is written throughout the entire book. Would read again and recommend. Would love to see more books from the author!

I was a little worried as I started this book; it wasn't drawing me in like I want books to do. I am SO glad that I gave it a few more pages.

This book was so uplifting to me, to see how this group of people really trusts in God to answer all their prayers and believe that he will. They prayed about everything and watched God respond. They took the Bible verse Mark 11:24 to a whole new level for me: Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.

This book is about Kelli and her family. The hurt that surrounded them and the reward of believing in God no matter the answer, the healing that he rewards them with is something we all want - we all want to feel Cherished. I so want a copy of the Love Letters that this book is about.
It has been a long time since I have read a book that I was not ready for it to end, this was it. I could of read another 100 pages easily.

Cherished by Kim Cash TateA novel of unconditional loveWhat is unconditional love? This novel by Kim Cash Tate portrays two main characters, Heather and Kelly. Both girls have gone through tough times, leading totally different lives. These two gals end up being the best of friends and find love. Love in their lives, love of family, love of Christ, love of each other.Read how Kellys large family gets involved with both of their lives, even if they don't really want to. Heather's smaller family plays an important roll in her life too.Both gals have boyfriends. Kelly has a current boyfriend and a past friend/boyfriend with a complicated background. Heather has many boyfriends and needs to get past that part of her life. Can she do it?This book is wonderful. I love the portrayal of the Gospel and of Christ. I love the character who is so strong in her faith and leads the gals in their own faith. I love the song writer who portrays the Gospel in his songs and has to stand up for what he believes. It truly is a faith based book.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program.
