"The O'Malley Series" by Dee Henderson is very popular because it fills a need that many of us have. It is a series about honest, caring relationships between people and people seeking a relationship with God.

The O'Malleys are six individuals who were in an orphanage together, and each of them desperately wanted to be a part of a family. Their need brought them together, but then it became more than that. They cared about each other in an extraordinary way, so they decided to become a family and chose the name O'Malley.

When they became adults, they legalized this relationship, but in their hearts they were already a family. Each volume in the series is about one of the individuals. The Rescuer is the 6th book in the "O'Malley series."

Stephen O'Malley is a paramedic rescuer. He is the last O'Malley to settle down, and he is feeling very lonely. He is also looking for the peace that the other O'Malleys have. He is like so many others who have heard the Gospel. He knows who God is and what He asks of each of us, but does not apply that to his life. For Stephen it is a will. He has yet to seek the truth in a personal way.

He wants to know that Jesus not only will be a friend but will always be there for him. His search and response makes this the richest book in the series. It is an appropiate and satisfying way to complete the series. But be prepared, the way is not easy and there is planty of adventure.
