You won’t be disappointed with this Complete Series!
The Complete Diamond Lake Series, written by T.K. Chapin, is an awesome series! Here is a summary of each of my reviews from each book…One Thursday Morning: Serenah’s Story (which continues through the series)- Chapin is able to incorporate into this story of hopelessness and agony the love that only God can give a person through the difficult times and a sustaining hope that all things do “work together for good to them that love God, to them that are the called according to his purpose.“ Rom. 8:28.One Friday Afternoon: Nathan & Elizabeth’s Story – They allowed others between them and have now gotten to the point where they both have to face the mistakes they’ve made and make a choice. Will God be the foundation of their marriage or with they allow other people, jobs, and things to take priority in their lives above the Lord?One Saturday Evening: Charlotte’s Story – Charlotte grew up in Newport, WA and has returned with her three daughters to be near her family after a divorce. She was deeply hurt in the divorce and wants to start a new life in Newport.One Sunday Drive: Katie’s Story – One of the quotes I took from this book is “Some of the greatest difficulties aren’t the decisions we make, but the results of them.” Several characters had to deal with the results in many different ways in this book and through it all, Chapin amplifies Christ is our first go-to.One Monday Prayer – Angie’s Story – She’s a young widow who has just gone through a tragic fire to her apartment and Serenah encourages her to travel to the Inn on the Lake to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas. Angie has gone through the grieving time over the last two years, but now is introduced to dating again.One Tuesday Lunch – Miley’s Story – In this book, we are reintroduced to Miley whom we met way back in book 1 of the series. She works at Dixie’s Diner as a waitress. We get to dig deeper into the character of Miley and see what she’s made of…what kind of faith she has or needs to have to get through life in Newport, WA. Unlike some of the other books in the series, this book is more suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat, mysterious, keep you guessing, who-done-it, and just enough Christian Romance that you just can’t resist sitting with your nose in the book until you complete it!One Wednesday Dinner – Brody’s Story – In this book, we get to know Police Chief Brody Jenkins. We met him in the first book of the series right after he had dated Miley, but time has passed and Brody finds himself in a situation. A young boy is dropped off at his doorstep…a sudden responsibility that he knew nothing about previously.I recommend The Complete Diamond Lake Christian Romance Series for all readers looking for encouragement because each book has Christ as the foundation for happiness in the midst of struggles. This series includes Inspirational, Romance, Suspense, and Mystery all in one series!

These are hard hitting stories, but also inspirational and hopeful.
I read this series, The Complete Diamond Lake Series when each of the seven books was first published. I enjoyed getting to know the area of where the books took place as well as the characters. Each book has characters in a different place in their lives and in their walk with God.What has always stood out to me in T.K. Chapin’s work is his ability to show the harsh realities of life; never shying away from how Christians are impacted and sometimes fail. Even more what stand out in his books are the guidance, grace, mercy and love of God which is never failing. No matter the plot, God is always at the center of T.K. Chapin’s works.Each book is titled according to the day of the week. I thought it was interesting that the first book in the series did not start on a Sunday but rather on a Thursday. It doesn’t have a bearing on the stories just interesting to me.One Thursday Morning – This is Serenah’s story. It has a wonderful characterization, along with her situation with its heartaches. It is also a hopeful inspirational story.One Friday Afternoon – Mr. Chapin gives a true picture of how easy it is to lose focus on relationships with God and with each other. Nathan and Elizabeth are on the verge of divorce as the story begins.One Saturday Evening – Heart-shattering betrayal makes trusting and a willingness to completely love again issues that are intertwined with a prejudice involving a long family feud.One Sunday Drive – T.K. Chapin explores the theme of forgiveness with Katie’s story. Katie must deal with the past so that she can move on with the present and future.One Monday Prayer – Though all has not been merry and bright in Angie’s life, she goes to spend the Christmas holidays with her cousin. This is not a long book but it’s sweeter than some of the other books in the series.One Tuesday – While this book can be read easily as a stand-alone, Miley, the main female lead, actually made an appearance in a much earlier book. Fans of who-done-it mysteries and books with a biblical stance, will love One Tuesday Lunch, since it does both magnificently.One Wednesday Dinner – This story has action, mystery, a child in need, a villain, a little romance and a character with a lot of regrets.These are hard hitting stories, but also inspirational and hopeful, too, showing what can happen when one puts their trust in God.

A Rivoting Must Read Series
I have read every single one of Mr. Chapin’s books and enjoyed them immensely. The books in the Diamond Lake Series is no exception!Mr. Chapin’s gift and passion for writing makes his characters come alive, and it is like you are right there living their situations. They are page turners and you want to just keep reading.Each book of the Diamond Lake Series concentrates on a specific individual or family and the issues they are facing. The issues these characters face are issues that we deal with in our lives every day: marriage, abuse, forgiveness, trust, etc. As you read there are lessons to be learned that we can put to practical use everyday in our own personal lives.There is one common thread in every one of these books, which is that of forgiving and trusting God to help us with our problems. As you read and ponder some of the situations these characters encounter, stop and think how closely your own life or someone close to you relates. Also remember that God said He Would never leave us or forsake us!I highly recommend this series to Christians and non-Christians alike. These books are never preachy or in your face. Rather, they are written with tenderness and compassion!Thanks Mr. Chapin for a wonderful, powerful series!

When he encounters a friend who dragged him into his former life of that was living deep in sin he reaches out to bring Alex out of out of the same evil life he had lived in. Loving him through thick and thin, and good and evil choices, James is severely tested to show love forgiveness to Alex as God has loved and forgiven him. A story of love and forgiveness.

A Lesson a Day
I enjoyed each of the books in this set. T.K. Chapin uses Newport, Washington, as the primary setting for the series. Each book deals with real life situations from spousal abuse to false accusations to sharing one’s faith. The author keeps them fast-paced and interesting. He weaves in some entertaining moments along with some very serious subject matter. I recommend this series for the messages conveyed concerning forgiveness, healing, and other Christian values. Reading stories like these can often help us work through issues of our own without having someone in our faces preaching at us. It is a more subtle approach but yet still effective.

Not for me
I read the first three books of this series, but didn’t get any farther. I felt like the first book was okay. It dealt with the serious issue of infidelity in a marriage; I liked that the couple chose to work through their issues and get counseling. However, it was so quickly resolved that it seemed implausible. In the next two books, the characters were just not very likable or Christian in their attitudes. I felt like this feud between the Towson and Atkins families was so contrived. I just stopped reading to be honest and returned the book.

TK Chapin writes in a way portraying each character so that you can “be” that person. He makes you feel, makes you laugh and makes you rethink your relationship with the Lord, never pushing anything down your throat or being “religious”A treat to read any book of his- specially this Diamond Lake series.

I read this series, The Complete Diamond Lake Series when each of the seven books was first published. I enjoyed getting to know the area of where the books took place as well as the characters. Each book has characters in a different place in their lives and in their walk with God.What has always stood out to me in T.K. Chapin’s work is his ability to show the harsh realities of life; never shying away from how Christians are impacted and sometimes fail. Even more what stand out in his books are the guidance, grace, mercy and love of God which is never failing. No matter the plot, God is always at the center of T.K. Chapin’s works.Each book is titled according to the day of the week. I thought it was interesting that the first book in the series did not start on a Sunday but rather on a Thursday. It doesn’t have a bearing on the stories just interesting to me.One Thursday Morning – This is Serenah’s story. It has a wonderful characterization, along with her situation with its heartaches. It is also a hopeful inspirational story.One Friday Afternoon – Mr. Chapin gives a true picture of how easy it is to lose focus on relationships with God and with each other. Nathan and Elizabeth are on the verge of divorce as the story begins.One Saturday Evening – Heart-shattering betrayal makes trusting and a willingness to completely love again issues that are intertwined with a prejudice involving a long family feud.One Sunday Drive – T.K. Chapin explores the theme of forgiveness with Katie’s story. Katie must deal with the past so that she can move on with the present and future.One Monday Prayer – Though all has not been merry and bright in Angie’s life, she goes to spend the Christmas holidays with her cousin. This is not a long book but it’s sweeter than some of the other books in the series.One Tuesday – While this book can be read easily as a stand-alone, Miley, the main female lead, actually made an appearance in a much earlier book. Fans of who-done-it mysteries and books with a biblical stance, will love One Tuesday Lunch, since it does both magnificently.One Wednesday Dinner – This story has action, mystery, a child in need, a villain, a little romance and a character with a lot of regrets.These are hard hitting stories, but also inspirational and hopeful, too, showing what can happen when one puts their trust in God.

A Rivoting Must Read Series
I have read every single one of Mr. Chapin’s books and enjoyed them immensely. The books in the Diamond Lake Series is no exception!Mr. Chapin’s gift and passion for writing makes his characters come alive, and it is like you are right there living their situations. They are page turners and you want to just keep reading.Each book of the Diamond Lake Series concentrates on a specific individual or family and the issues they are facing. The issues these characters face are issues that we deal with in our lives every day: marriage, abuse, forgiveness, trust, etc. As you read there are lessons to be learned that we can put to practical use everyday in our own personal lives.There is one common thread in every one of these books, which is that of forgiving and trusting God to help us with our problems. As you read and ponder some of the situations these characters encounter, stop and think how closely your own life or someone close to you relates. Also remember that God said He Would never leave us or forsake us!I highly recommend this series to Christians and non-Christians alike. These books are never preachy or in your face. Rather, they are written with tenderness and compassion!Thanks Mr. Chapin for a wonderful, powerful series!

When he encounters a friend who dragged him into his former life of that was living deep in sin he reaches out to bring Alex out of out of the same evil life he had lived in. Loving him through thick and thin, and good and evil choices, James is severely tested to show love forgiveness to Alex as God has loved and forgiven him. A story of love and forgiveness.

A Lesson a Day
I enjoyed each of the books in this set. T.K. Chapin uses Newport, Washington, as the primary setting for the series. Each book deals with real life situations from spousal abuse to false accusations to sharing one’s faith. The author keeps them fast-paced and interesting. He weaves in some entertaining moments along with some very serious subject matter. I recommend this series for the messages conveyed concerning forgiveness, healing, and other Christian values. Reading stories like these can often help us work through issues of our own without having someone in our faces preaching at us. It is a more subtle approach but yet still effective.

Not for me
I read the first three books of this series, but didn’t get any farther. I felt like the first book was okay. It dealt with the serious issue of infidelity in a marriage; I liked that the couple chose to work through their issues and get counseling. However, it was so quickly resolved that it seemed implausible. In the next two books, the characters were just not very likable or Christian in their attitudes. I felt like this feud between the Towson and Atkins families was so contrived. I just stopped reading to be honest and returned the book.

Each and every tale finds you getting acquainted with someone who is searching for a partner for life. Finding the right person who makes you tingle can be a challenge. It is full of pitfalls and wonderful moments.

This series of books covers quite a few of this life’s temptations, trials and tragedies. From affairs, emotional and physical, to domestic abuse. But it shows the hope, the tenacity to be better. It also tells of journeys to love. This is a great series!

TK Chapin writes in a way portraying each character so that you can “be” that person. He makes you feel, makes you laugh and makes you rethink your relationship with the Lord, never pushing anything down your throat or being “religious”A treat to read any book of his- specially this Diamond Lake series.

Come join us on Diamond Lake for a series on God’s love, redemption.and keeping God in the forefront of your life.One Thursday MorningT.k. Chapin gives another book with thought provoking content again.It’s a romance but deals with domestic abuse and what happens with the victims.You need to read Serenah’s journey from abuse, loss toa lasting love.I loved the characters and the beginnings of a new series at the Inn of the Lake.The Inn is described in the book, ” The Inn isn’t just a place to stay when you’re tired. It’s a place where miracles can happen and God shows his strength and power.”One Friday MorningA couple fighting, on the brink of divorce, arrive at the Inn at the Lake.Thanks to the atmosphere at the Inn, the prayers of Serenah. the owner of the B&B. the wife’s heart starts to thaw.She is encouraged to work on her marriage and is reminded there are three in a marriage, God, husband, and wife.Several verses in the book resonated with me but the one really grabbed me”Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you,” 1 Peter 5:7.Using the description in the book I have created a page in my journal with the verse, the hands of God holding the world, the words hate, worry, anxiety and fear surrounding the hands of God.The statement ” God is my Redeemer and I need to commit to him everything, truly everything.” is beautiful.Thank you T.K. for this book and the constant reminder that we need to keep God in the forefront of our lives.One Saturday EveningThis is a great summer read about Charlotte , a single mother with three kids and Dylan who moves in next door ‘” He’s artistic, a man of God,easy to look at.,and most of all loves being around her children.”Finding her heart stirring to the possibly of finding love again, she is horrified when she finds out he is a member one her hometowns feuding families and her childhood piano teacher is a member of the other.I loved all the characters, the setting of Diamond Lake, God’s love and redemption and the ending of the novella.One Sunday DriveI love how this author weaves God through the words in his books.Romance, believing in God, asking forgiveness and giving second chances are themes in this book.I enjoyed the characters and the setting of the Inn.As usual I read the book in one setting because I could’t put it down.One Monday PrayerI really enjoyed this latest book, by T.k. Chapin.,telling the story of finding love again after the death of a loved one, about the guilt of moving on with life.With the knowledge that we will meet our loved one again, we can free ourselves to find love again.It was comforting to meet up with previous characters and was sad at the passing of Emma.Thank you for this lovely Christmas story and I look forward to many more stories by this author.One Tuesday LunchI have read all of T.k. Chapin books and this one was totally different. This book gives us suspense, romance and of course God’s love, forgiveness,redemption and grace.I always love returning to Diamond Lake to see Serenah and Charlie.Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone but reading in order gives a richer experience with the characters.Thanks again for a heart felt book and I recommend it highly.One Wednesday Dinner is book seven in the Inspirational Fiction Diamond Lake Series by T.K. Chapin.This final book is heart breaking but at the same time you rejoice.I love the setting of Diamond Lake, all the residents and the wonderful story.Tears where flowing when a small child who has only known about Jesus for a short time,brings Momma to Jesus.This entire series is recommended for anyone that loves strong inspirational books about family .I look forward to the next series.
