Book Review of "The Right Person" in the Montgomery Lake High Series by Stacy A. Padula
Book Review by Lorilyn Roberts
The Right Person,
Book 1 in the Montgomery Lake High Series
by Stacy Padula, is a great read for teens and especially teens that struggle
with self-worth. The Right Person introduces
several young ladies and young men who are freshmen in high school, and they
are caught in the crosshairs of coming-of-age and figuring out who they are in
relationship to each other and to God as Christians—at least those who attend a
church youth group.
If you are a young person and you are struggling to
integrate your faith with friends, both male and female, this is the book for
you. You will easily relate to the characters in the Montgomery Lake High Series.
Although I am way past my teenage years, I enjoyed reminiscing
about those days long ago, and I would have enjoyed reading this as a young
adult. I would have learned some things early on rather than the hard way later,
and it would have reassured me that many of my insecurities were natural and
common, especially when it came to dating.
Author Stacy Padula does a great job understanding the
difficulties that teenagers face, and I particularly liked the upbeat ending of
The Right Person. I’m looking forward
to reading the next book in the Montgomery
Lake High Series.

Ten Years Strong, The God of Miracles - New Memoir by Diana Strickland
I talked to God and told Him that I wanted two things from Him. The first thing was that I didn't want anybody to have an opinion about my transformation. I wouldn't listen to anyone about how to dress like a Christian, what music to listen to, what shows to watch. I only wanted God to help me out. You see, in my past, I had tried to change my ways for God. I got too bored with this Christian lifestyle, so I fell right back into sin a lot worse than I was before.
This time I wanted God to work on me from the inside out. I figured that He knew what He was doing and He would help me out, and I wanted to listen to Him and Him only. The other thing I talked to God about and that was a desire to not move out of the state of New Jersey unless He told me specifically that I had to move. I didn't care what others thought or said.

Interview of Lorilyn Roberts About Her Life, Writing, Plus Marketing Tips - on Allauthor
Lorilyn Roberts was born in Tampa, Florida, and she and her mother moved to Atlanta when she was four. "I don’t remember the streets where we lived because we lived in so many different places. My mom, a single mother and newly divorced, was homeless for a while, and so I have vague memories of staying with friends, acquaintances, and living in boarding houses. I didn’t know my birth father until I was thirty. Read full interview...
Click to Tweet: In fifth grade a teacher accused me of plagiarism. My stepfather went to the school. I had been writing for two years, and my parents knew I didn’t need to plagiarize anything. That was a big moment in my relationship with my stepfather.

Seventh Dimension Series Bundle Now Available on Amazon
The Seventh Dimension
Series Full Box Set includes The
Door, The King, The Castle, The City,
The Prescience, and The Howling.
The Seventh Dimension Series has won
over thirty book awards.
“Time is an illusion until God’s appointed time,” is the major
theme based on A.W. Tozer’s quote in The
Pursuit of God: “A spiritual kingdom lies all about us, enclosing us,
embracing us, altogether within reach of our inner selves, waiting for us to
recognize it. God Himself is here waiting our response to His Presence. This
eternal world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its
reality.”
The two young protagonists, Shale Snyder, an American, and
Daniel Sperling, an Israeli, meet in the seventh dimension—a reality outside of
time. Their love for each other is conflicted over their opposing spiritual
beliefs that seem irreconcilable. The story covers many years as the young
couple matures. The sixth book, The
Howling, culminates with Biblical revelations concerning the future,
Daniel’s missing father, and a startling surprise.
Allegory, foreshadowing, and symbolism are woven into the Seventh Dimension Series, and the
heroism of the two protagonists is meant to inspire the reader.
Love and forgiveness are virtues that both protagonists must
learn. The Seventh Dimension Series
begins in Atlanta, Georgia, but quickly moves to Israel. The reader soon finds
himself immersed in the first century, and stories from the life of Jesus
Christ intersect the story plot outside of time. As the reader progresses
through the books, he is exposed to many religions and worldviews including
Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, and Buddhism; and the young couple makes a memorable
trip to heaven and hell.
Many relevant topics are addressed that young adults will
have explored in school, among friends, or been exposed to through the
media—evolution versus creationism, globalism versus nationalism, socialism
versus capitalism, adoption versus abortion, and Christianity versus occultism.
Spiritual warfare is a recurring theme, and there are talking animals, special
gifts, and much more that I will let the reader discover for himself.
The protagonists are coming-of-age young adults, taken via
supernatural stargates into the violent, unpredictable world of the seventh
dimension. While I wrote this series for young adults, all readers will enjoy
the deeper, profound truths that can only be learned from a life well-lived.
An unexamined life can squander the opportunity to be
redeemed. What a waste. My goal is to make the reader think, ask questions, and
consider the most important question of all—where will he spend eternity? As noted
above, the theme of the Seventh Dimension
Series is: “Time is an illusion until God’s appointed time.” You may not
have tomorrow. You only have today, this hour, this moment, this second…
