All God's Promises (A Prairie Heritage Book 7)
Faith-Filled Fiction at Its Best!
So many unanswered questions.
Who am I really? Kari wondered again. I am not Kari Hillyer. Not Kari Granger. They tell me my real name is Kari Thoresen Michaels.
But who is that person?
She frowned. And where are my sister and brother? Who took them? Where are they now?
“Lord, my uncle and my cousins urge me to trust you. They say that you will help me through this difficult transition. And they say that you know where Elaine and Samuel are, that I can trust you—that in you the lost are found! But I am so new to this faith thing. It is hard to believe you will find them after all these years.”
Kari pledges her considerable fortune toward the search for the social worker who, thirty-three years earlier, took three-year-old Elaine and infant Samuel from the scene of an accident—the same accident that killed Kari’s parents—and sold them in an illegal adoption.
And she is not alone in the search for Elaine and Samuel. Private investigators Anthony Esquibel and Owen Washington join efforts to unearth the identity of the social worker and trace the adoptions of Kari’s siblings.
Will the last of the lost be found? Will Kari discover for herself that all God’s promises are true? All God's Promises—the glorious conclusion of A Prairie Heritage.

A *2 star* book after reading the first 5 *5 star* books is quite a let down.
I can't tell you how quickly I poured through the first 6 books in this series. I read them sometimes in 1 day. Book 7 began disappointing. There were points I enjoyed in this book but it was overshadowed by the disappointment. No offense but Kari was not someone I cared to learn about. I wanted more of Rose, Joy and Edmund O'Dell. I wanted more of the girls at Palmer house not their descendants 3 generations later. I found that the Author was very repetitive in many chapters. Especially each time Kari had to tell her story. I found myself skimming quickly through the last 15% of the book because it was so obvious where the story line was headed. The way Kari's life transformed was too much for me. The fact that she is marrying someone who she is basically related too was kind of gross too. 4th or 5th cousins or not they share the same DNA. I hesitated buying book 8 until I realized it was going back to Joy's story and the people im actually interested in reading about. Again, SUPER disappointed with this story. Overall Vikki is a phenomenal writer but this one just didn't do it for me.
From horrific pain to exuberant joy, this Prairie Heritage series has it all! This is 7th book in the Must Read series.
I absolutely love this and all the books so far in A Prairie Heritage series! I laughed and cried so much while reading All God's Promises, just as I did the entire series. In fact, it was while re-reading from book 1 through book 6 (plus the Land of Dust and Tears) that I found that book 7 had just been released and I downloaded it immediately. Now, I can hardly wait for book 8 - there WILL be a book 8, right? The characters are so realistic that I found myself praying for them! Truthfully, I have grown up with some friends who were very much like those in these books, but none were abused to the extent the rescued girls suffered. My own family was very protective, but some friends were not as fortunate as I. I loved the way Ms Kestell wove the very realistic experiences with Christ's love and guiding hand on even the hardest of rebellious sinners; I know those experiences are realistic because this blatant sinner experienced just such love and forgiveness myself.
A must read series
This series of books are my all time favorite and I wish I could give copies of the series to all my loved ones. They show what it looks like to be a Christian. This is the second time reading through them and I couldn't put them down this time either. Vikki Kestell makes her characters so real, you feel as though you know them and expect them to come through the door at any time. What I love most though is how she makes the Lord the center and the life of these books. The various characters are in different stages of their walk with the Lord; some are unsaved, others are new believers, some are mature in their faith. Through the daily lives of the people we see how the Lord intends for His children to live - both during good times, hard times and tragedy. We're shown how the Lord woos them, saves them, and guides their daily lives; encouraging, comforting, strengthening, and disciplining them. We see to the amazing way He is in control of all things, working all things out according to His will. These books will make you angry, make you cry, make you laugh, and make amazed anew at our Lord. They'll strengthen your faith. and make you eager to do more for your Lord. To me, these books are a shining example of Christian fiction at it's very best. Once you start reading this first book in the series, you won't want to stop until you've read them all - and you'll still want more!
All God's Promises are Yes! and Amen! in Christ for those who share the heritage ...
All God’s Promises reminds me that God doesn’t belong to the past or future; The Eternal One is always present. Kari and others in the book are able to grow spiritually and live out their faith genuinely in this modern culture. God still leads His people, miracles do happen, and unfulfilled promises often suddenly come to fruition. Besides being a blessing, this book is excellent entertainment. Its fast pace and intrigue, frustrated romance, and backdrop of finance and espionage are vastly different from the early books in this series. But Kari’s “prairie heritage” finally becomes truly and personally hers, and she experiences the truth that “In God, the lost are found” for herself. A fine ending to an excellent series.
I've loved this series since I first read A Rose Blooms ...
I've loved this series since I first read A Rose Blooms Twice. The characters are excellent. They have stayed with me even though I haven't read the books for at least a year. I find that I worry about them. The storyline is unique. I haven't been able to foresee the twists and turns since the first book. I learned so much history through this story. This book ties up all the loose ends very nicely. Except for what happens to Laynie. I sure hope there will be a novella that resolves her situation. All in all, I love this book. I love this series. And I highly recommend it to everyone.
All God's Promises
This was very interesting, and totally enjoyable. There were moments of recall that were just as vital to the story that I had read before. And I did not mind much but I wanted to see Kari grow in grace and knowledge, which was very realistic. I fell in love with the words said to encourage, 'that we are a work in progress ', that our habits and thinking change as Jesus and God work through our lifetime.
Forever Better For Reading this Series!
A Rose Blooms Twice has got to be my favorite then you read the next one and the next and you just can't decide because they all hold a special place for a different reason... I related most to this book I absolutely did not want it to end! Was it because she is from NM maybe a little 😉 I loved most that she didn't change with $$ or love or business she's just grew into it but her heart remained the same ! I love this series ❤️
I'm so sad that this is the last book in the series
I enjoyed this series tremendously, and this last book is one of the best! I am so sad to see it end, but Vikkie Kestell wrote another series, the Stealth series, and I have heard that it is just as good, so that is good to know. I certainly expect to read that series also.
Absolutely wonderful!
I’ve never read such an amazing series of books before. I love this family and have felt close to these characters. I can’t explain it, but each book in this series has touched my heart. It isn’t a family story I’ll forget, but ones I’ve learned from. Each one is amazing. I’d recommend it to readers who are looking for more depth.
Beautiful story
I have now read all 7 of the Prairie Heritage Books, BUT I am not satisfied that this would be the end of the story! We need to bring one more person home. This book was more emotional than all the others to me. I felt like I was an invisible person watching all that occurred, and boy did it blow my mind! I have not had such feelings for a book in a very long time. I laughed and cried and was so proud of the stand that Kari made in her business dealings. Actually a few times I was wishing for her to take life a little easier,and hurry up with love life. More amazing than anything though, was that the Scripture readings throughout this book spoke to my heart and soul. I have let Jesus become buried in my life, and I mean to tell you He became real again to me.
