"Never Ending Spring" is an award-winning Christian mystery novel penned by Darrell Case, transporting readers to the quaint town of Elm Grove, Indiana, circa 1949. At its heart lies the poignant tale of Jack Johnson, a man grappling with profound grief and estrangement from his faith.
The narrative unfolds with tragedy striking Jack's family, thrusting him into a harrowing journey for justice. As he unearths dark secrets and navigates treacherous motives, Jack confronts his own inner turmoil and wrestles with doubt and guilt. Each step toward unraveling the mystery brings him perilously close to danger, yet also offers glimpses of hope and redemption.
Case masterfully weaves suspense, faith, and human resilience into the fabric of the story, immersing readers in the vividly depicted setting of Elm Grove. The characters, each harboring their own complexities and motivations, add layers of depth to the intricate plot.
"Never Ending Spring" is more than a mere mystery; it's an emotional odyssey exploring themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the enduring power of faith. Jack's struggle to protect his loved ones while reconciling with his own beliefs will resonate with readers long after the final page is turned.

“I seriously doubt I would have written the first story if it had not been for a bogus literary agent. I had always thought being a writer was the greatest occupation in the world.”

Darrell Case

Darrell Case is the author of seven novels, three collections of short stories, two nonfiction books and one book for young readers. He contributes regularly to Call to Glory a daily devotional with a readership of over 33,000.

Returning from a mission’s trip to the Ukraine in 1994, Darrell received a postcard from a literary agent named Jones. He asks Darrell to send in his manuscript. The problem? Darrell had never written a book. Jones was later arrested and charged with fraud.

However, this phony literary agent’s postcard awakened a spark which had lain dormant in Darrell since high school. He started getting up at 5 a.m. to write.

Darrell completed his first novel, Never Ending Spring, in 1996. Although his novel was rejected by many publishers, his wife Connie encouraged him to keep going. Since publishing his first novel, Darrell has written 12 more books. Connie’s faith in Darrell’s writing was justified in 2020 when Author Elite Awards named Never Ending Spring as best mystery for that year.

After Connie’s passing in July 2021, Darrell retired from 40 years in the jail and prison ministry is now writing full time. His new book, a nonfiction entitle A Better Way to Live, is scheduled to be released in the spring of 2022.

It is so wonderful to read a good Christian book! It was engaging and, unfortunately, often true. How we humans harbor bitterness and pain. Not only does it hurt others , it hurts us the most. It was a gripping, no putter downer!

Review of: Never Ending Spring, by Darrell Case

A story of love, tragedy, redemption, and forgiveness.
A small-town Christian pastor and his wife are murdered in broad daylight. This young couple had no enemies. The local sheriff and deputies seem to bungle the investigation. The pastor's father-in-law, Jack Johnson, takes matters in his own hands.
Jack has denied any belief in God since the death of his young son many years ago, and now his beloved daughter has been murdered in cold blood, leaving an 8 year old daughter alone, for Jack and his wife, Ruth, to raise. Ruth, and the little girl, Emily, though devastated by their loved ones deaths, experience life and tragedy through the lens of a loving God.
This story has twists and turns, including more deaths, an arson fire, and a near-deadly snake bite. The local community has embraced the Johnson's and their granddaughter providing help in any way possible. In the end, no one can help Jack, except God Himself.

I enjoyed this book, the storyline draws the reader in from the first page. It definitely tugs at the heart strings. The story revolves around the senseless murders of a beloved pastor and his wife. Their 5 year old daughter, Emily, is left to be raised by her grandparents, Jack & Ruth. These three are left reeling, trying to come to grips with this horrific tragedy. Jack is determined to get revenge for his daughter, driven to great lengths in what he feels is a justified to do so. But ultimately, this book is about Hack's struggle with God. Although Ruth has a very strong faith, he has no time for a God who has taken his loved ones from him. But Ruth and Emily never give up and fervently pray that he will accept God. I thoroughly enjoyed Jack's spiritual journey and all those he touched along the way.

I so enjoyed reading this story despite being very sad in many places. The death of an adored son; the murder of their daughter and son-in-law; the barn being burned down; it all added up to an inspiring read.
