Andrew McKenzie has lived most of his life tormented by guilt and pain, haunted by the secrets of his past. When he is hired to work for Sienna and Jonathan Driscoll, his life changes more drastically than he could have ever imagined. Before long, Drew learns that this is not an ordinary job. There is definitely something unusual about the Driscoll family--especially their son, Justice Quinn.
Drew is introduced to the Driscolls' daughter, Bella Maura, with whom he shares a special bond. As his relationship with Bella develops, Drew learns that he is not the only one hiding a secret. Each new day brings with it shocking revelations about the unique spiritual gifts of the Driscolls, and their God-given obligation to people suffering at the hands of the darkness and evil of the world.
Where is God's justice? Does anyone hear the prayers of the abused, those too broken and weak to defend themselves? Why does it seem that so often the unjust escape punishment on the earth? Justice Quinn deals with each of these questions, as well as the concept of intercessory prayer, in order to help us understand why God's timing must be reverenced.
Excerpt
And let me repeat myself for the sake of your intoxicated memory. Evil is a never-ending verb to this world. It is a verb, which imposes action. So those of us who think we've decided our fate, what are we doing? For others? What are we doing? To counteract evil's hidden origins and blatant plans? What have we done to stop its advancement against the innocent? So, here--this is your ultimate, self-exploratory question: am I doing anything to stop evil here on earth?
What are you doing, Drew McKenzie? (Justice's holy appeal to awaken Andrew McKenzie's dormant soul, page 20-21.)

A definite must read!

I found myself immersed in this book and read it straight through. {Justice Quinn} is one of those books you think about long after you close the last page. The Driscoll's are a family using their gifts for God, to minister to the hurting...that in itself makes you stop and think--God, am I being used by You? A definite must read!
Unable to put it down.

Five stars.
I wasn't disappointed at all. I was completely unable to put {Justice Quinn} down. I love the imagery the author paints with her words and the intense suspense that she creates. I was very impressed with the way the two books {of the series} intertwined and just how intricately the story was weaved. I found myself in tears on more than a few occassions. I have grown rather fond of the uniquely intense characters. {Dyson's} books stir something inside of me, causing me to yearn for a more...spiritual relationship with God. The story literally puts a face on justice and faith, allowing for the two concepts to be seen in a new light. I find myself pondering on her words long after I've finished reading.
I was totally captivated...

In Justice Quinn we also meet Bella's brother, Justice, whom we met towards the end of Bella Maura, who also has a powerful gift. The secret God-given work that the Driscolls are doing is slowly revealed in this beautifully written story of love and intercessory prayer. It's about learning to lean on God and trust that He is doing what is necessary in His time frame, not ours. I was totally captivated by the characters in this book and am anxiously awaiting the third book in the series, so I can see where God and the author takes them.
He Keeps Me is a devotional journey of revelation and insight birthed out of prayer.Searching the Word of God revealed the many ways that He has kept me and continues to keep me. Each day is an opportunity to recognize that God is mindful of you, eve
