    About this ebook

    True love ignites their passionate pursuit of His call 


    With violent crime on the rise and the political climate changing throughout certain parts of Mexico, the opportunity for open Christian witness, particularly in some areas of Chiapas State, is rapidly decreasing. Hector Rodriguez pastors a small church in the tourist-popular border town of Tijuana. He also routinely carries Bibles deeper into the hostile areas of Mexico, where he ministers despite increasing difficulty and persecution. Hector’s mother accompanied him on one of those trips and felt God called her to stay in the little village of San Juan Chamula, where she uses the Scriptures to teach reading to the families who are open to it. In retaliation for Hector’s bringing the Bibles into areas hostile to Christians and in an effort to dissuade him from continuing to expand his ministry there, Hector’s mother is murdered. Hector must decide if he will continue his work despite his worries about protecting his wife and children.

      Commentary: Grappling with Catholicism

      About three weeks ago, I reviewed Kathy Macias' first novel, No Greater Love. If you read that review, you saw that I really liked it. I was hoping that when I read the second book, I would enjoy it as much. Well, I can tell you now, I was not disappointed. The second book, More Than Conquerors, is also pretty amazing. Mrs. Macias has a way of making her characters come alive. They seem to be real people with very real struggles. I also like the way she writes about the Christian faith without being preachy. Her books flow smoothly from one scene to another. And, like in all good books (and real life), there is tragedy as well as triumph. This story is set in Mexico. It is about three families whose lives intersect and who face many hardships in their attempts to serve others and to glorify God. As in the first book, some die, and some are brought to new life in Christ. It is a novel that depicts the Christian life realistically and helps the reader understand other cultures a little better. Both books are entertaining as well as challenging and encouraging.I didn't want these books to end. I can't wait to read the next two books in the Extreme Devotion Series.

      From My Blog...More Than Conquerors by Kathi Macias is the second in her Extreme Devotion Series; this novel takes the reader to Tijuana, Mexico, San Diego, and San Juan Chamula. While the book is beautiful and can easily stand on its own, I have read the first in the series No Greater Love and plan to read the third, Red Ink when it is released. More Than Conquerors is a beautiful and at times suspenseful novel of love, family, sorrow, and faith. Pastor Hector Manolo Rodriguez' s life is most definitely not dull. He has his loving wife Marianna and three children Lupita, Manolo, and Hector Jr., who fill each other's days with unconditional love, as does their friend Marty from San Diego, who recently finished Bible school and is waiting for God to direct his life. He has decided to leave San Diego and stay with the Rodriguez's for as long as it takes to figure out his next calling, much to the delight of the family and the confusion of his mother. While Hector is rich in faith, love, family and friends he has many concerns. His mother, Virginia, was called to spread the word of God to anyone willing to listen in San Juan Chamula, a remote Mayan village that does not take to outsiders interfering with their way of life. While Hector is proud of his mother, he is also worried for her safety; it is not unheard of for Christians to disappear in the area where she is living. Then there is Javier, Hector's father who walked out on his wife and nine children to move to San Diego. He is dying alone in a hospice center; except for the visits Hector makes from Tijuana to San Diego to visit his father in hopes of his father turning his life over to God. Closer to home, in Hector's small parish of Casa de Dios, trouble is brewing amongst one of his flock. Senora Antonia Mesa has confided that she worries for her grandson Roberto's soul, she made certain he was raised in a loving and Christian home, yet he has turned away from his family and found a new family in a gang and has been murdering people. More Than Conquerors is a pure and beautiful novel about family, faith and hope. The reader will discover all sorts of families in this novel, estranged, bitter, happy, longing, struggling, and curious. Macias weaves together several cultures into her novel as well as several types of family units; creating the foundation of a masterfully written story filled with characters the reader will not only care about but also want to know. More Than Conquerors will capture the reader's heart and attention and I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a beautifully pure, Christian novel.

      Pastor Hector Rodriguez has his hands full. His small church in Tijuana is not immune to the violent crime spreading throughout Mexico. His mother is ministering in San Juan Chamula, in the state of Chiapas, to people of Mayan descent who are hostile to evangelists, and his father is dying in a San Diego convalescent home. His faith is being stretched; he can’t be everywhere and protect everyone he loves. In San Diego Marty, a young “gringo” Bible College student and friend of the pastor’s family, has just graduated and is praying about direction for his life. He can’t look to his family for wisdom, because his father is dead and his wealthy mother can’t understand why he’d waste his life being a missionary. The only thing Marty feels led to do with any certainty, is to visit Pastor Rodriguez and his family for the summer to wait for God’s guidance. Kathi Macias brings these characters together to show them, and us, that with God we are “More than Conquerors”. This book set in 2010, is one in the Extreme Devotion Series. I’m looking forward to reading another.
