What readers are saying about Redeeming Grace:

6 stars out of a possible five!
This is what nightmares are made of. Take a plunge into the dark side of life with Taylor as she runs from her past, in which the only mistake she made was to want to have a good time. Learn with her as she finds out that though man may plan, God is still in control, whether it feels like it or not.
Redeeming Grace a novel that has taken suspense and drama to the top level. First of all, do not be turned off by the size and weight of this novel. It is worth every word. This would be a great book to take on a vacation, not because it is relaxing (that is one word I could not use to describe it) but because it would be best to have no distractions when reading it. Again, it would not be because you need to have a place of utter attentiveness to get into the book, but you will not want to put it down for anything, not even eating. I have the hard copy, but actually requested the ebook form for ease of reading. Yes, it the airplane would be an ideal place to read this, as the attendants would not let you stay on past your destination.
Just thinking about it, gets my adrenaline rushing, and it has been a week since I finished it.

A book full of mystery and intrigue is what you can expect out of Ward Tanneberg’s latest Redeeming Grace. Sitting on the edge of your seat suspense. The beginning of the book had me puzzled for a few chapters. Grace Grafton is thought to have died many years prior when two of her friends were brutally murdered. But unbeknownst to anyone she wasn’t murdered and now lives as on the run as Taylor. Great book Mr. Tanneberg!

Excellent book. I loved the story of Grace and the suspense was top notch. My favorite part of the story was all the friends she made and who helped her defeat the villain. This story was so vivid it made my heart race, the descriptions were so vivid. It was difficult for me to find a stopping point to end my reading for the day. I gave this a 5 star review on Amazon and Goodreads. Looking forward to reading more by this author.

I was a little overwhelmed by the size of it (597 pages). Then I opened it and saw that the font is fairly large and appears to be at least 1½ spaced. That made it a little less daunting. I found it to be a fairly quick read. It was an intricately written, attention holding suspense. Once I had started reading it I knew that I would not be able to abandon it. By the time I was 400 pages into it I knew that I wouldn’t be able to find any more stopping places and would have to plan enough time I picked it up again to finish it. There were definitely points that I found myself questioning Grace, “How could you make such stupid choices?” Yet I know that we all make stupid decisions at times and those are usually what we need to be redeemed from. The title is very appropriate and fitting.

“Redeeming Grace” by Ward Tanneberg is definetly a 5 star book in my opinion. All I can say is Wow. I don’t usually like thrillers but this book changed my mind! This book has murder, evil, and good and in the end you realize that God is on His throne. This book makes you believe that good does win in the end and greed does not ! I loved the different characters and the descriptions in the different settings in this story. I could actually see the story being played out in my mind as I was reading it. This would make a great movie, it would have violence so not sure it will be suitable for young children but I am sure adults would love it as a movie This book starts out with the mystery and then goes to the present and then back and forth between the two, but I feel that is what made it such a great read! It really kept me wanting to finish the book to see what was going to happen. Now that I have finished the book I want a sequel to see what happens to the other characters in the story!
