About this ebook
Gillian Kincade is a soloist with Ballet New York, a sought-after guest artist, and a committed Christian. Though she may be an anomaly in the world of dance, Gilly believes her devotion to God isn’t compromised by following her dreams. Then she meets Jacob Ferrar.Jacob is the brilliant young artistic director of the Birmingham Ballet Theatre and a born-again Christian. When he offers Gillian the lead in his latest ballet she accepts, knowing it won’t necessarily further her career, but it will touch her soul. On the chaotic road to opening night, Gilly and Jacob develop a deep professional respect for each other and begin to fall in love. Then their brilliant first performance is destroyed by a terrible accident, and suddenly both must face an uncertain future. Together, they dance the fine line between personal vision and God’s will, listening for the guidance of the Father’s heart.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I appreciated the depth of professional ballet knowledge in this book, but sometimes I felt like the ballet descriptions overwhelmed the story. I'd have liked to see a bit more of Gillian's spiritual struggle when she feels like God has removed his protective hand from her dance career that she thought she was using as his special gift to her to advance his kingdom and also see how she re-convinced herself that God was still with her.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Elizabeth White's newest book 'Tour de Force' was WONDERFUL. I loved learning about the world of professional ballet and how competative it is. What it takes to be a professional ballerina. Elizabeth provides a glossery of terms but it's not overwhelming to the story. Tour de Force centers around Gillian Kincade (Laural Kincade's little sister from Off the Record) and Jacob Ferrar. Gilly was a great character. Full of life, strong and loveable. She applied her Christian beliefs and love to those around her in a tangible way. Especially to her friend Victoria. Jacob Ferrar was a great torchered hero. A man with a past that he would like to forget. He is strong, kind and protective of those he loves. Both characters are well drawn and come to life off the pages of the book. The relationship between Jacob & Gilly was believeable and well paced. We also get to see Tucker McGaughan (Cole McGaughan's brother from Off the Record). He is vying for Gilly's attention as well. They have known each other for a long time. Who will she choose in the end? The story keeps you turning pages and there is some good romantic tension along the way. You'll also find some of that good old fashioned southern humor that you come to expect from an Elizabeth White book along with tackling some of life's tougher issues. I enjoyed Tour de Force, I think you will too.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This story takes place in the ballet world. I wasn't sure I would enjoy the ballet story line, but was wrong, I really did get to understand the life of a ballet person. Gillian Kincade is a rising star in the ballet world. Dancing is her passion, and so is her love for the Lord. Jacob Ferrrar is a director of a dance company in Alabama, with a vision for a ballet that would glorify His God. How these two people come to meet and grow to know one another is really good, as is the other characters in the story. Well done!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was the best book that I read all season, By Far! It was intrigueing, it had romance, humor, passion, but most of all, it had Faith! The first of many Christian books to come. Absolutely beautiful book. It made me tear with Joy!
