beautiful

this is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen in my life. in every way. the cover is so tasteful and it is small and hardback, it's so cute! as for the story itself, it is indeed one of the most romantic, beautiful, christian-principled stories i've ever read (and i've read a lot). a man comes back from the war to his warm family home, but with a broken heart. slowly his heart is healed and he invites Jesus to take it over. then, while his ex-fiancee tries to lure him back, he meets and falls in love with a lovely christian girl. we are also told his brother's story in parallel. i love this book, i hope you can find it.

A breath of fresh air.

What a beautiful, meaningful, wonderful story! I gobbled this book up in 12 hours! We have two servicemen, brothers who come home from the war. One, Rodney, has been engaged with a spiteful woman. She returned the ring while he was overseas and married an older, richer man. However, when she finds out that the brothers are back, she does everything in her powers to see Rod. However, the family doesn't let that happen. The other brother, Jeremy, is younger, but is glad that the brother isn't with the girl any more. Both of them have their faith strengthed overseas and bring back a powerful message. There are also two young ladies who begin to fall in love with the brothers. Meantime, Jessica, the ex-fiance, is still scheming to see Rod. Her husband wants her to sneak into Rod's office and get an important paper. Read this amazing, uplifting book and find out if the boys find true love, with God's guidance. Find out if Jessica gets Rod back or finds the important paper. Don't read the other reviews because I have found they have a lot of spoilers!
