Quite the page-turner

This is a book that moves you and brings bits and pieces of the gospel together, and to life. She folds this last novel of the trio, up nice and neat, connecting with the others and bring it all to a close in a neat little bow. It brings into question 'obedience', 'law', as well as what is right and good... following ones heart or submitting to what is expected... Well worth buying and putting your name in.
