Title: Livengoods Living Well
Published: Lighthouse Christian Publishing / May 2025
Genre: Fiction, Inspiration
With compassion and insight, Donald, Linda, and their loved ones in book one of the LivingWell trilogy face life’s challenges: loneliness, miscarriage, confusion about one’s path, and pressing contemporary issues such as in-vitro fertilization, abortion, transgenderism, and infidelity. By “looking within and standing together,” they rise above the tensions and struggles, day by day.
As Josef, the admirable patriarch, reflects: “Living well means living with integrity, honesty, fidelity to your spouses and family, and to the solid and eternal values of faith, hope, and love. It means preserving trust in God, yourselves, and each other, working through problems and honoring relationships in the midst of tensions and difficulties.”
Midwest Book Review:
With a warm and inviting tone, Livengoods Living Well encourages readers to embark on their own discovery-both in the world and within themselves. It serves as a beautiful reminder that life, physical or metaphorical, is a powerful catalyst for understanding and empathy.
