About the Book

Title: Breath of Heaven
Author: Alana Terry
Genre: Contemporary Christian Fiction
Release Date: December 9, 2017


Breath of Heaven

She hasn’t fallen out of love with her husband. She just can’t stand his church.
Nobody told Katrina being a pastor’s wife would be easy. But she never imagined that the stress she and her husband would face from his new job could so easily destroy their marriage.
In spite of her mother’s disapproval, Katrina marries a pastor whose job immediately plucks her away from her music, her symphony, and the city life she loves and plants her in the small town of Orchard Grove, Washington.

If she knew going into her new life that she’d be sacrificing her music career for a congregation full of gossips and backbiters and that the pressure of her husband’s new job would turn him into someone she hardly recognizes anymore, she might have reconsidered marrying him in the first place.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to do anything about that now.
Or is it?

Guest Post from Alana Terry


I used to think being a pastor’s wife would be glamorous. Now I know better!

Although I’ve loved the different churches where my husband has been called to serve, being a couple in full-time ministry can definitely take its toll on a marriage.

Breath of Heaven is a novel in my Orchard Grove Christian women’s fiction series, which deals with real-life couples facing real-life issues. In Breath of Heaven, two newlyweds are thrown into the world of church politics, and the honeymoon period is quickly over.

I wrote this novel to give an inside peek at what it’s like if you’ve never been a pastor’s wife as well as to offer some hope and encouragement to women who know the stress of being married to someone in full-time ministry.

My Thoughts on This Book:

Katrina and Greg, newly married, moves to his hometown to start a life pastoring at the local church. Katrina with her picture perfect image of how life would be newly married pastor's wife, feeling welcomed into the folds of the church were soon changed when reality set in.

Her whole life has been focusing on her music, her violin, her Dmitry. Her life breathes through her music. When tragedy strikes her personally she shuts down, leaving things that once were her soul, now cast aside.

After encounters with the local churchgoers, and the power of prayer, can Katrina find hope in her music, her voice and her marriage? 

This book touched me to the core. The characters felt real as if you were there with them inside the church, walking alongside her through her trials and her marriage, listening to her find her voice, her breath of heaven. Inspiring book.. I am now looking into reading more books from this author.
