Produktbeschreibung

David Michaels is a minister of a fast-growing church caught up in the ambition of his calling. His ever-present longing has been to cherish and protect his wife Julieeven if that protection includes hiding his deepest parts, fears, and, especially, his past sins he finds irredeemable.

Julie is initially captivated by David's charismatic presence, but as she knows David more, she longs to crumble the walls that he hides himself behind and get to know his inner man. Instead, David has an affair, and her life, dreams, and hopes are shattered.

Jenny's young heart too is initially captivated by David's charismatic presence, but once she discovers his inner man, she loves him for who he is. She becomes his friend and closest confident, and their relationship lingers long after their physical affair that results in a precious little boy. They are in each other's arms only one time, but that one time is a bitter-sweet memory of the binding of two bodies and souls.

It is only after tragedy strikes that David and Julie enjoy a true marriage of love and connectedness, but even then, some hurts go so deep that healing proves difficult for them both. Grace for each other stemmed from God's grace is the saving factor in their marriage. They realize that it is only God who has the power to redeem a marriage.

Autorenporträt

When I was a teenager I had two primary dreams. I wanted to write and publish novels that readers would enjoy and find meaning in, and I wanted to be married with four childrentwo boys and two girls (in that order). I wanted to stay home and not have them go to babysitters like I had to.

I met my husband the second week of my freshman year. I fell instantly into like when I met him and knew we'd be kindred spirits. As our friendship progressed over six months, I fell in love. We were engaged a few months after we started dating. We married two years later.

For my degree I chose English Literature with a minor in technical writing. I chose technical writing because I thought it would be a practical way to have a career as a writer. I didn't think I was any good at writing fiction, and I wasn't. I had no "grand" idea. I was a fair poetry writer. I loved writing about literature, and I enjoyed technical writing. I sort of planned on that being my career when I finished college, but I lived perpetually in the moment.

We married the summer before our senior year. The first five months of our married life was incredibly romantic. We were students, so we were poor. We lived in a small one-bedroom studio apartment. We had no air conditioning, so the summer nights were quite hot and humid in Wisconsin.

Our car didn't work, so we biked and walked everywhere. On summer evenings my husband loved to watch spiders spinning webs. He would stand their fascinated by the intricate patterns. I stood there fascinated with him. For groceries, we pulled a rickety wagon. We found coupons on campus for free two-liters of pop. Every day we redeemed these coupons for a bit more than a month. We had a lot of free pop to drink, which is kind of funny because neither of us are all that into pop. We would bike to a bakery for day-old bread.

The November after our wedding, we became pregnant with my oldest son. I was sick for months. I made it through finals and then through another semester of class. Living perpetually in the moment helped me adjust to the fact I would be an at-home mom and wouldn't start a career as a technical writer. I was thrilled! But being so young as a mom I was ill-prepared to meet the demands of an infant.

I fulfilled one-fourth of my dream. #1

My husband thought I needed more education. He thought English was a degree in the obvious and that I'd never get a decent paying job with only t...
