The Magdala League - by S L Hicks

Book Synopsis

It's Summer 1984, the era of pay phones, video games, and pizza. Maggie North, a misfit member of the Magdala League, arrives in Kevan's Cove to solve the mystery surrounding the attack on her friend and mentor, Mary Wright. With longtime friend Reverend Jim, Mary's 16-year-old ward, Monk, and his steadfast buddies, Maggie spends a mind-boggling week unraveling tangled clues. Join the adventure as Maggie and her friends rely on prayer and God's guidance to uncover the identity of Mary's attacker, the truth about the mysterious Captain Smith, and the facts about a secret hidden for over forty years.

Endorsement:

Maggie was on a mission. It was one she had not anticipated. But since it involved an attack on her long-time friend, she did not hesitate to answer the call.

As she began her journey with her reliable friend Magersfontein, she soon saw again and again how God orchestrated whatever was needed to solve the secret of Captain Smith's house, even protecting her and her comrades as they sought to unravel the mystery. Interspersed throughout are a number of appetizing servings of food for both the body and the soul.

Once I started reading it, I could not put it down! And once I finished the book, I found that I had much to think about as I contemplated how my life, too, was planned by God.
