Another good story in this series (although I liked book one, "Nan's Heritage" slightly better) that is set in the 1800's. This story picks up years later, but the same people you grew to know are back, they just have grown children now. Elk is the boy that was taken from Nan moments after she delivered him, and was sold to the Ute Indian tribe. He is a twin and through an unusual circumstance these two men will come face to face and realize for the first time that they have a twin. (I strongly suggest you read book one first so you have the whole story on what happened and why.)

In this story Elk must discover who he really is and where he should live and how he needs to depend on God for these answers. There is also a young lady, Miranda, in this story that also faces great challenges and it is good to follow her life and see how God watches over and protects and leads her to a godly young man. To take a quote from the back cover of this book: "Full of passion, heartbreak, romance, rivalry, and hope, 'Elk's Resolve' will fascinate you from the first page". Looking forward to the next story in this series, "Luke's Legacy". ( )

Set in the mountains in the 1800’s, Elk’s Resolve is a Christian novel about the trials and experiences of a man called Elk. The story intertwines with many characters leaving the reader with a fresh resolve about life and walking with God.

I do not normally read novels, yet found myself unable to put this book down once I read the first paragraph. I read this book in one afternoon, as it is a fast read - expertly written as to keep the reader’s attention. This wonderful story gave me renewed faith in my own walk with God, as well as a few nuggets of wisdom that are now etched upon my heart. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a wonderful afternoon of escape into a world where the hand of God is prevalent. I followed God’s hand through the story, and experienced His anointing and love as He reached out and touched my heart through this story. God bless you, Elaine Littau, for writing a story that extends the hand of God into the heart of the believer.

I received a copy of the book through Goodreads in exchange for a review. I received no additional compensation and was not required to write a positive review. ( )
