Most authors draw from life experience when writing a book. However, for best-selling authorBeth Wiseman, the inspiration forThe Promise came from encounters most readers could never imagine happening in their own lives. Inspired by actual events, Wiseman describes her latest release as the largest project she has undertaken since her first book was published in 2008.
Mallory Hammond is determined not to let her boyfriend, parents, or anyone else get in the way of her #1 goal---to save a life. She had that chance when she was a teenager, and the opportunity slipped away, leaving a void she's desperate to fill. Then a new friend she met online offers her the chance she's dreamed of. But she'll have to leave behind everyone she loves to take it.
Tate Webber has loved Mallory for years. He understands that Mallory's free spirit has to fly, and when he gives her the space she needs, he hopes that when she lands, the two of them will be in the same place and can marry at last.
In a bold move---and with lots of resistance from Tate and those closest to her---Mallory decides to travel across the world to fulfill her dream. Tate begs her not to go, but Mallory embarks on the dangerous journey to Pakistan anyway, only to discover how swiftly and easily promises can be broken. Her new friend isn't who he says he is. And Mallory can only pray she'll make it out alive.

*My Review*
This is the first book that I have read by Beth Wiseman. It didn't take me long to see that Beth has a way of not only telling a story but also draws the reader in to feel what her characters do and experience the world through their eyes. In The Promise she takes this gift to a totally new level in reminding us that no matter where we might be in this big ol' world we are never too far from love and protection of Jesus.
The Promise centers around two characters: Mallory Hammond and Tate Webber. They are both on a mission, but soon their lives take them in different directions with what seems like impossible situations. Will they be able to fulfill their purposes and find each other again?
This is definitely a book that makes you examine the limitations of man and the limitless power of of Christ. I recommend this book to all who like a good read!
