      Welcome
This is the most important and crucial point of this site. I hope you have already accepted Jesus as your personal Savior; If so, please join me in praying for those who have not, and are now extended…

A Very Special Invitation…

You are invited to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and receive eternal salvation. 

Who is this invitation for?

“For God so loved the world (you), that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”  John 3:16

“…I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why is accepting this invitation so important?

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”  
Romans 3:23


“But God commendeth (showed) His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.   Romans 5:8

“For the wages of sin is death (separation from God); but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”  Romans 6:23

What must I do to accept this invitation?

There is only one remedy for this problem of separation from God:

“Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:  no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”  John 14:6

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man should boast.” 
Ephesians 2:8, 9


How do I accept?

You must trust Jesus Christ and receive Him by personal invitation (through prayer)

“Behold, I stand at the door (of your heart), and knock:  if any man hears my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him. 
Revelation 3:20


“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”  Romans 10:9

“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”  Romans 10:10

Where Do I need to be?   Do I have to be in a church to accept?

No.  You can pray to receive Jesus wherever you are…by Faith.  

When Do I need to accept this invitation?   Do I have time to think about it?

For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.   2 Corinthians 6:2

A Suggested Prayer of Salvation:

God knows your heart and is not as concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart.  The following is only a suggested prayer:

Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life (heart) and receive You as my Savior and Lord.Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. I submit my life to You, and ask that You make me the person You want me to be.

Okay, I did it, so now what?

Welcome! You are now a part of the family of God!

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  Romans 10:19

“He that hath the Son hath life;  and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God;  that you may know that you have eternal life, and you may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5:12, 13

If you have not already done so, diligently seek, find and become connected to a church you like, making sure it is:

 Christ Centered
Bible Regulated
Prayer Minded
Soul Winning as a Priority
Caring, Sharing, Loving
The church will guide you from this point
 
Congratulations on your new life in Christ! May you have a blessed, abundant and exciting journey with Him!

COMMENTS from
READERS & REVIEWERS

Romance In Color
"This wonderfully well-written and compelling book looks at the life of a single woman’s “seasons,” from the raging storms of her life’s winter to the sun-drenched days of her summers—and how she endure it all with God’s love. Seasons is an impactful, provoking novel, reminding us that we do not have to stay in the pit life may place us but climb out of the pit, place our trust in God and allow Him to cover our backs!"

Arm Chair Interviews
"Hopkins writes simply and truthfully of that thing called life. And she does it with interesting characters and a plot that makes you want to race to the end. This novel helped me look at life; my own in particular and helped me rejoice in the ways I have grown, changed and developed into the woman God made. Seasons might just make you smile, and you might wipe a tear or two at the abundance of God's love."

The Road to Romance
"Seasons is all about the drama! Fresh dialogue, realistic characters, and strong faith ties make this a good read."

The Rawsistaz
"Bonnie Hopkins has written a thorough character study that is immersed in a compelling plot. The Christian themes are subtle, but at the same time, evident. The characters, though Christian, have flaws and are well-rounded; this adds to the realism and keeps the book from coming across as preachy. There were a few scenes that seemed to be resolved too easily and others that were a bit unrealistic but in spite of this I enjoyed the book. I really liked the way the author incorporated the seasons theme throughout the story while presenting encouraging messages about strength over adversity, faith in God, and overcoming fears."

The Good Girl Reviewers
"Seasons is a wonderful, heartwarming book that reminds us all that God is always present no matter what season we are in. The characters and the situations they endure will stay with you long after the book has ended!"

People Who Love Good Books
"This book will touch you and you will root for Jaci as she finally finds her 'due' season. Seasons is a must-read for all of you who love Christian fiction but even if you don’t, this book has something for everyone: Romance, Drama, and Mystery. It is a must-read! I give this book 5 stars!"

Blessed “tmturnbaker”
"Our book club named Seasons our best book yet. We absolutely loved this book and our discussion was open and deep. This book was a reflection of God’s love and His goodness. This book was truly a blessing. Thanks Bonnie."

Rhondajac
"I especially loved how the author showcased a strong, male, positive, spiritual warrior in (character) J.P., a willing and able vessel to be used by God. If you are looking for a good story, this is a great book to pick up. I look forward to reading more by the author in the near future."

Glorious Women of California
"The Glorious Women of California would like to extend a warm heartfelt special thank you for taking the time to do a conference call with us to answer questions about your awesome book, Seasons, and speaking words of encouragement to each of us who are going through our own personal seasons. The character Jaci set the precedence as a role model for the single ladies of the group."

C. Lee
"I enjoyed the male dialogue in this story. Bonnie Hopkins did a wonderful job for her first novel. I look forward to reading more of her work."

M.S. "Christian Fiction Lover"
"Great Book! I read the book in two days. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next."

Natitia T
"This book is fabulous from beginning to the end. The author did a wonderful job capturing the characters and bringing them to life. Everyone in my book club said that they could relate or knew someone like the characters in the book. The book club rated the book '5 Amens with a snap!' It was the best book club meeting ever, thanks to Seasons by Bonnie Hopkins."

Willa B.
"Awesome. I give this book a straight up 10. I read it in two days. I can truly say that I haven’t read a book that I hated to put down in a long time if ever. Bonnie, when is the next one coming out?"

Toyia P
"Wonderful! I have never reread a book before. However, after finishing Seasons in two days, I was so inspired! My faith excelled to a new level. I recommended the book to several people and reread several excerpts throughout the book before handing it over to my mother. Great read!"
