About the Book

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!

Interview with Courtney

What does your family think of your writing?

My family is pretty proud of me. My oldest daughter said that when she first started reading my books, she has to stop and think, “Wait! My mom wrote this!” because she was so engrossed in the story it was hard for her to believe that it was actually written by someone she knew.

What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?

The most surprising thing I’ve learned is that sometimes the characters and story take on a life of their own. I’ve had things happen that I had not planned, but that’s where the story went. Later, I’m usually surprised to find out (although I shouldn’t be) that God had a plan all along and so the book needed to take that turn.

How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?

I have written 22 books so far, I believe. It’s always so hard to pick a favorite, but I think that I really enjoyed writing The 12 Dates of Christmas because it was very character heavy, and there was a fun creative element to it.

Where can readers find out more about you and your books?

They can find out more about me and my books at my website (www.CourtneyLymanBooks.com) or on social media like Instagram (@author.courtneylyman) or Facebook (www.facebook.courtneylymanauthor)

Any current or upcoming projects you’d like to tell us about?

My newest book is in the editing phase of writing and should hopefully be releasing in late spring or early summer. It’s the first book in my new series, The House of Bellevue, which is a contemporary royal romance series.
