Book: Resurrection Rest

Author: Courtney Lyman

Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance

Release Date: April 18, 2018

Gerard Truman frantically arrived at Holliday Hotel in need of a place to stay that was near the clinic in Willow Creek. His sister, Stacie, was ill and the prognosis didn’t look good. Carol Holliday immediately welcomed Gerard and placed him in the room she called Resurrection Rest. Dr. Eva Livingston was an intelligent, driven doctor. Direct, serious, and lacking compassion, she was not known for her bedside manner. Seeing no hope for Stacie, she urges Gerard to say his good-byes and remove his sister from life-support. As she battles Gerard, Eva is forced to take a look at herself and reevaluate how she is faring as a doctor. His faith shakes her and even as she is frustrated by his determination, she finds herself drawn to him as well. But it will take a miracle for this arrogant doctor to change.

More from Courtney

Easter is my favorite holiday because it celebrates the hope, restoration, and new life that Christians have in Jesus. It remembers Jesus’s death as the sacrifice that saved us, but also the power of the resurrection which gives us the hope of eternal life with Him. I can’t think of a better message to share with others.

When I began to write the Holliday Hotel series, I wanted to show how God is visible in all of the celebrations that we observe, and Resurrection Rest holds a special place as a celebration of God’s salvation for all people.

In today’s world, it can feel like God doesn’t still work miracles as medical treatments and professionals can get the credit for healing, but I have had the pleasure of witnessing several times where the doctors said one thing, but God intervened. A beloved grandmother figure who was so badly ill with sepsis that the doctors said that the family needed to say their good-byes only to have her not only survive, but thrive. A family friend who was hit by a drunk driver who should not have survived the night, or come out of the coma, or be able to move and speak, but defied the odds. My mother who was in a car accident that broke her neck and should have left her paralyzed, but didn’t. God is still active and working. His power has not diminished!

Resurrection Rest shows that God’s power is still at work in the world today and that His salvation is for everyone. I hope that you enjoy this Easter story of hope and love, and then come back to visit Holliday Hotel to celebrate other holidays through the year!

Author Interview

Can you tell us a little bit about what readers can expect from your books?

Readers can expect to find heart-warming stories with strong faith-elements in my books.

What book made you fall in love with reading?

I don’t remember I time that I didn’t love to read, but I remember being maybe five or six years old and being very excited to receive Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss.

Can you share 5 random facts about this book?

Staci means resurrection which is why her name was chosen.
Eva means life or mother of life and she’s a doctor so I felt that was fitting as well.
Resurrection is a word that I have difficulty spelling, so whenever I wrote it, I had to make sure I had done it right.
I had two dear ladies experience something similar to what Staci does in the book, which definitely inspired the events of the book.
It was really clear to me when I first started the Holliday Hotel series that when I got to the Easter book, one of the characters would start as an unbeliever, and would experience the love and hope found in Jesus Christ through His resurrection.

What do you hope readers will take away from the book?

I hope that non-believers will fall in love with Jesus and find their hope and salvation in Him. For believers, I hope that they will find a renewal of the joy that comes with salvation and a resurgence of hope for the future.
