It was yesterday when I realized I now own paperbacks of the four Christian fiction books set during the Great Chicago Fire.

If you know of any others, I'd love to hear! I couldn't find any.

Through these "big" moments in history, authors are able to show the ways fictional characters characters are altered and God is the same faithful God.

In #theUncertaintyofFire, Whimsy faces many challenges that mature her and change some preconceived notions she had of the world

In #IntotheWhirlwind, Mollie losing her business forces her to reconsider what she is capable of - and gives her forced proximity with a particular man

In #VeiledinSmoke, Sylvie finds herself struggling with the same ailment her father did while Meg works to defend his name

And in #UntiltheLightBreaksThrough, losing everything he owns forces Luke to step back and look at his own unhealed pain and the wrong ways he'd been handling it

Each of these books is so so different from the others with different portrayals of the Fire and aftermath. With all four, a fuller picture of life in Chicago in 1871 is possible!
