The God Who Books Books in Order

The God Who series is Deborah Raney's newer set of contemporary Christian romances. Each book is shaped by a biblical phrase in its title and places people at a moment when the life they expected has become difficult to recognize.

Who Touches the Mountains begins at an inn in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. Travel writer Liesl Bachman is tired of a career that once looked ideal, while innkeeper Zach Freylan is maintaining a place that belonged to his late wife and struggling to imagine a future that is his own. Their meeting brings hope, but neither person's past is easily set aside.

The setting is beautiful, but the feelings are complicated.

The series has a more outwardly scenic feel than some of Raney's Kansas and Missouri books, yet it keeps her familiar concerns close: grief, forgiveness, family memory, faith, and the courage to begin again. The romances grow from people learning to tell the truth about what they want rather than simply carrying the plans someone else made for them.

Who Stirs Up the Sea continues the series' interest in emotional upheaval and renewal. The books are connected by their faith-centered outlook and their focus on people finding their way through loss, change, and uncertain new relationships.

Start with Who Touches the Mountains. It introduces the series' tone, its use of meaningful settings, and its patient approach to romance. Readers can expect mature characters, personal stakes rather than high-octane danger, and a steady sense that hope can emerge even after a life has been knocked off course.
