About the Book

From New England’s Storyteller Steven Manchester comes a soul-awakening novel about love, faith and family. During Phinn Reed’s romantic quest, he discovers that even through great suffering and loss, he is never alone—not ever—and that we are all eternally connected.
Phinn Reed enters the world with God’s promise of finding his soul mate. With heaven’s memories erased, his romantic quest teaches him that the heart often sees clearer than the eyes—and that not everyone has ordered the same items from The Menu. This inspirational novel is heartfelt evidence that love stories come in many different forms.

My Thoughts
“You are never alone- not ever. Nothing could be more impossible.” – God”
This is a very thought provoking novel, that will have you thinking about your own life choices – and how you’ve learned from them. This book definitely had me thinking as I read, and it’s one that I think many of us can relate to. It’s a great reminder of who’s and what we are! We can count it all joy as we live and abide in Jesus. This book left me praising the Lord for the things that I have, and looking at the truth – the Lord has blessed me with much, and loves us all very much. In the end the only thing we own is our story. With Jesus, we can find blessedness out of our brokenness and fulfill our mission even in a broken world.
“Every one of us is just trying to make the most of the time we’re given, and in the end, have our time on earth make a difference”

More from Steven
“None of us are ever alone.” I believe this truth in every fiber of my being. For me, few things are more tragic than a fellow human being who is feeling alone. It’s the reason I wrote my new novel, THE MENU.
The premise of THE MENU is a simple one. If you believe in an afterlife, do you also believe that your spirit existed before you came to this Earth? And what if you had a say…what if you actually picked everything you’d experience in this life from a MENU?
