A New Beginning
by Michael Phillips
1997
Life in Miracle Springs is changing fast for Corrie and Christopher Braxton. With surprising news, risky work, and new responsibilities pressing in, they have to decide whether to stay rooted where they are or follow a calling that could take them far from home.
The Braxtons of Miracle Springs
by Michael Phillips
1996
Newly married, Corrie and Christopher Braxton settle in Miracle Springs, hoping for a quiet life. Instead, trouble follows them, and an old enemy resurfaces with vengeance in mind. Corrie’s journal records the strain, and the grace, of building community under pressure.
Series background & context
The Journals of Corrie & Christopher picks up after Corrie Belle’s earlier gold-rush journals, moving into married life and the new challenges that come with building a home. The format stays personal and journal-like, but the focus widens from survival to community.
Corrie is now Corrie Braxton, married to Christopher, and they settle in a place called Miracle Springs. Instead of scrambling to keep siblings fed from one day to the next, Corrie is learning what it means to be a partner, a neighbor, and someone other people lean on.
A new season doesn’t mean an easy season.
In The Braxtons of Miracle Springs, the couple finds that every town has its own history and its own conflicts, and old enemies can resurface when you least expect it. By the time you reach A New Beginning, the story is about change arriving from multiple directions at once: surprise news, risky decisions, and new responsibilities that ask more of Corrie and Christopher than they thought they had to give.
The tone is warm and character-driven, with everyday details that make the town feel lived-in. Faith shows up in practical ways, in how people treat each other, how they handle fear, and how they recover after mistakes.
Start with The Braxtons of Miracle Springs and read in order. The payoff comes from watching a young marriage grow stronger while the world around it keeps shifting.
