The River - CIPA 2021 Award Winner for General Fiction

https://christianaward.com/2021-winners-announced/

As you read the River Let your imagination take you on a journey that will expand your faith as you explore the pages of this exciting book!!

The Title of this book is the perfect name to describe a surrendered life to Jesus Christ. "The River" illustrates being led and carried by the Holy Spirit on a life in which the Lord asks us for trust without filling in the details on the outcome. The author allows us to enter the authentic world of this fictional traveler's thoughts, doubts, and trust, on a journey accentuated by danger, risk, challenges of faith, and eventual victory. Each obstacle or challenge on the journey required a listening ear and an obedient heart. Yield, let go, trust ... are some of the words that rest in my heart after reading "The River." Those words will take all of us a long way, so thank you Betty Kulich, for this creative presentation.

I just finished reading your book and I was blown away! All I can say is Holy Spirit inspired!  I saw my life in this book and it made me think about complete trust in Him and wondering about the next chapter of my life and where He will take me. I am totally surrendered to Him and look forward to His promise to me that He will do a great work in my area and I will be a part of it! I am planning to read again❤️. Love and blessings to you🙏💕

Am reading your book trying to see how i can teach it. Am really enjoying this. It kind of reminds me of Pilgrims Progress in the sense that its a journey. 

I find i have to read a while and stop so i can digest everything. Its not something i can whiz thru since every word is important. I want to get to the end but find u need to think about it a while before moving on. 

God is really going to use this. But it’s not for spiritual sissies!!!!!! Lol

I have traveled with Melissa to the conclusion of her journey (and the beginning of a new one).  With highlighter in hand I have begun again, but have reached only page 30-something (taking every thought captive).  I believe I will be camped here for a while.  Thanks for the road map to help me on my way.

Gratefully, 

I have absolutely loved the book couldn’t put it down 

What deep spiritual truths 

Thank you so much for sharing your heart and writing the book

5 out of 5 stars You will not be the same person you were when you started on the journey down the River.

Allow God to take you on a journey with Melissa you will never forget. Your walk with God will be taken to another level that you have been searching for. Read and discover all the gifts, authority and freedom you have as a child of God.

Loved reading The River. Could not hardly put it down before reading it all the way through.

Your book is amazing. How blessed are we for the revelation and clarity of the supernatural so beautifully presented to the reader. I can see and feel my rod and staff over my shoulder and the mantelpiece that give such peace and courage. One read is not enough . I’m re reading with my daughters. The River calls me to digest all Jesus, Holy Spirt and God want me to share with others. The River is the best book I’ve read in a long time... it’s beautifully written and takes the reader on a supernatural adventure.. I loved it.
