Grace... and Mercy, October 11, 2006
This review is from: More Than Grace (The Grace Series, Book 3) (Paperback)
"More than Grace" opens with Gregory, Grace's husband, filling in at the prestigious Lenox Hill hospital in the absence of their top surgeon. Although this is an opportunity for Greg to flirt with his dream job of all time, his dream would cause him to make the decision to leave his position at Robinson Memorial where he is respected as being their top surgeon and love by many. When the position is offered and Grace and Gregory share what appears to be a blessing from God with the rest of the family, it is Grace's Mom who cannot bear to see them leave; she goes into a deep depression concerning them living in New York.
In the meantime, Grace and Gregory's long-time friends begin to go through serious marital problems of their own; their battles touching the lives of their closest friends, but nothing seems to help them get past their troubles to reconcile the strong marriage they always had.
As if this is not enough, Grace comes to find a piece of a missing puzzle in her life that will have an effect on her as well as her mother, as they work through this juncture in their lives.
What I like about this story is the fact that each character comes to a place of change and yield to what God wants them to do in their lives. The events intertwine, overlap and have links to the past that touche their present, but God brings them out victorious as they face these issues head on.
In this wonderful story, we find the characters of Norman-Bellamy's Grace Series at another level in their lives. There is a need for more grace as they each come to terms with something that requires they give more of themselves.

More Than Grace, April 20, 2006
This review is from: More Than Grace (The Grace Series, Book 3) (Paperback)
Gregory Dixon is the doctor that every woman of any age could fall in love with. He's a saved, sexy, surgeon who also happens to be loving and supportive to his friends and family. In "More Than Grace", Greg has to pull out all of the stops to try and be there for his wife, his son, his friends and his job. An unexpected riff arises in the waters of his marriage when Greg unknowingly begins to neglect his wife's needs in an attempt to be there for a longtime female friend. For the first time in their marriage, Grace is jealous...and of her own best friend, no less. She's uncomfortable with the closeness of Sherry and Greg and she's about at her wit's end. I could go on and on because there are so many storylines and so much drama going on in this novel that it makes you want to keep turning the pages for more. I've loved the work of this author for a while now and her books never disappoint me. I think she's the best in her craft and my book club will always be a supporter of her.
"More Than Grace" is the third book in a three-book series and for those of us who fell in love with Greg, Grace and the rest of the gang in boook one, this book is a phenominal ending to the story. Like some of the other reviewers have said, I am sad that the saga is over too. I would love to see more books about these characters.

I loved More Than Grace. My friend and I could not wait until it was release. And as always Kendra has showed us her God given talent.I was in awe at how she tied all the stories together.I enjoyed the romance between Greg and Grace. But I must admit that I was a little sadden that this is the last book in the Grace Series.l know the Lord will always inspire you to write more novels that will reveal for love & grace, people who love because of grace and many challenges we face that is more than grace.
