In Perilous Healing by Jessica Ashley, the intensity of danger and redemption wrapped around my heart like vines in the jungle, as Jaxson Payne and Margot Anderson ran for their lives—both literally and spiritually. This story is filled with suspense and romance – an adventure for anyone seeking a captivating read that dives deep into themes of faith and healing. It beautifully navigates the tangled vines of life, where a faith so strong that even the darkest parts of the jungle can’t smother it.
From the moment Jaxson limps into Hope Springs, you sense the weight of his past. This is a man with a heart of gold who has been broken, both physically and emotionally. The fact that he was told he’d never walk again but defied those odds symbolizes something deeper—his journey with God. His resilience isn’t just in his ability to stand on two feet; it’s in his unwavering belief that God has a purpose for him, even after everything he’s endured.
Margot’s world has splintered in a different way. I found myself cheering for her, too, as she fought to rebuild her life after heartbreak. Her quiet strength and reliance on prayer during moments of fear and uncertainty echoed with me. Her journey to trust God’s promises, even when the future seemed unclear, mirrored my own struggles—learning to surrender and lean on His will instead of my own understanding.
At one poignant moment, Margot reflects: “No matter where you are, no matter what you face, His will is what will prevail.” That hit me hard. It’s easy to feel trapped in the thicket of life’s struggles, but this book beautifully reminds us that when we fully surrender to God, His love is unwavering, His eyes are always on us, and He walks with us through every trial, never leaving us alone.
The suspense kept my heart pounding, yet the real beauty lay in how Jaxson and Margot's relationship with each other—and more importantly, with God—blossomed amidst it all, trusting Him to guide and protect them through the unknown.
One of my favorite quotes, “If you want to truly move into your new life, then you have to accept your Savior, ask for forgiveness, and let the past go,” encapsulated the core message. Both Jaxson and Margot had to release their pasts to embrace the hopeful future God had for them—a future filled with amazing love.
The faith woven into the heart of Perilous Healing transformed it from a mere story into a vibrant testament of faith in motion. The jungle, alive with danger and beauty, served not just as a setting but as a rich metaphor for life’s chaotic twists and turns. Each uncertain step mirrored our own struggles, yet amidst the shadows, God’s unwavering presence brightened the path forward. The truths about His provision and love resonated with me long after I closed the book, reminding me that even in the wildest of circumstances, we are never alone when we are His.
