About this audiobook

God gets the girl, the girl gets the Harley. "I found Jesus seven years ago, but until that Sunday morning, I didn't know what to do with Him." At age forty-two, Allison Chamberlain is still making a half-hearted attempt to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up. Although she has been a pew-sitting member of a church for seven years, "prophet" has never been on her short list of possible careers. Then one Sunday Allison senses a divine nudge to buy a Harley and ride it wherever it may take her. Soon she wonders if she is called to present the reality of Christ to one of society's darkest corners-and challenge her own church to look beyond its fears. The first in a brave trilogy, The Reluctant Prophet shows how one person's response to God's call can change a community forever.

    Nancy Rue’s character, Allison Chamberlain, is a real as it gets in Christian fiction. Allison gets her hands dirty trying to live her Christian faith and makes everyone uncomfortable in the process. 7 years after becoming a Christian, Allison feels a “nudge” from God telling her to buy a Harley, even though she has never ridden a motorcycle before: she tries to ignore the nudge, but God is persistent. When she follows the nudge it leads her into dark places in a bad neighborhood filled with people she would have never associated with, and she also meets other people who will help her navigate this scary world. As she reaches out to help the unlovable, she’s given a new name; a name she doesn’t want, a name that’s undeniable, the name is Prophet. This is a heart-racing, action packed, contemporary novel. I’m so happy someone recommended it to me, so I’m passing on the recommendation. All ages, including teens, will enjoy it. I hope there’s a sequel, because I want to find out what happens next. 5 stars.

    llison Chamberlain has received "The Nudge". This voice in her head has told her she needs to buy a Harley. Then the Nudge sends her on a mission to reach out to those most of us would not go near. We travel with her as she begins to collect what the world would consider "undesirables". You know the type, drug addicts, prostitutes, the ones that we would not give the time of day. The main message or theme is "don't judge a book by its cover". How many times do we look at someone and make a decision about that person without knowing them on their story. This is a reminder of what can happen if we truly listen to and follow God's calling. I would definitely recommend this book.

    Loved this book. Totally unexpected and full of snarky humor- just what I enjoy. Lots of Jesus but not religion. Great story
