This book packed more than one punch to the gut. And wow--that ending! Kendig's writing is something to aspire to. My issues with this book is that it was way steamier then I prefer. Also, the gut-punch ending was too much for me, and I won't be able ...more |

“And that is enough to raise your thoughts to what may happen when the redeemed soul, beyond all hope and nearly beyond belief, learns at last that she has pleased Him whom she was created to please. There will be no room for vanity then. She will be free from the miserable illusion that it is her doing. With no taint of what we should now call self-approval she will most innocently rejoice in the thing that God has made her to be, and the moment which heals her old inferiority complex forever will also drown her pride… Perfect humility dispenses with modesty.”
