“God is sovereign," Papa said. "Even when we don't understand, He allows certain things to happen for His purposes. When we say we know better, then it means we don't believe He is sovereign or just. that His will is not as perfect as our own--and that's a dangerous game to play.��

I feel like this quote is the underlying theme of this latest installment in Gabrielle Meyer's Timeless series. It really captures so much of what the time-slip characters face as they live double/triple lives. This was even made more clear in this newest story with our lead character Kathryn who learns in 1938 that her sister in 1888 is killed by the notorious Jack the Ripper. She has made it her personal mission to learn everything she can in both times in order to prevent her little sister from being killed by the madman. She decides that she knows best--for God gave her a mind to use and this information to know--and that she's willing to risk it all to save her sister.

This jumps back into the genealogy started with books 1-3, so it would be highly recommended to read those before jumping into this one.

Woven throughout the book is also an exploration into the world of the Freemasons--something that has intrigued me since that classic movie National Treasure.

The book has so many great lessons in faith and trusting in a good God no matter what we see in just our human fraility. I couldn't put it down. I was 70% through it and it seemed like it was "almost done" so I knew I was in for some twists and turns before the story played out! I wasn't wrong. LOL.

Every one of these books continues to bring 5 star review for their intrigue, their imagination, and the faith messages woven throughout. I'm eager to read book 6 as it dives into exploring a MALE viewpoint--with twists of course! ;)
