Some glitches 9n a few stories here & there
But all in all, those aren't as important as the faith lessons the characters learn, & the love less9ns as well. Whether it's a person of material means or lack of same, regardless of age or background, the nessage to me is clear. If you've ever tried to to look at your sirround9ngs through some9ne else's glasses, things look distorted...tjey can give you a headache...& you wonder how it is that so many different glasses exist that make others' vision better but anyone's besides theirs worse.
We're born with a set of "glasses" built over the years by the infuences of those around us, esoecially our home circmstances. The problem is, there is really only one set of glasses we need; one set that will work; & those come from God. If we put His "glasses" on - if we remember God doesn't see the world as we do, because He sees the beginning from the end, He is eternal, & He knows everything - we can ask Him to let us peek through His glasses, to see those around us as He sees them, & to see our own lives as He sees them. As we try asking Him for help...pray...get to know Him by reading the Bible...it becomes easier for us to see things as He does. We won't understand things fully here on earth, but eventually, we will know as we are known - fully.
Those "glasses" help us see the lostness, the peace, the potential, the hurt, in short, more of what makes a person what they are when we get to know them. They help us fond His path for us, the best path we can see. They help us see when we get away from that path. They help us find the right mate, or if called to singleness, what God wants us to do with that. They help us love the unlovable...& see the unlovable in ourselves.
That is what these books show, through their stories & their characters. How people are actually "borrowing" God's "glasses" to seee through His eyes. They also show that He is no respecter of persons, seeing one as better than another. We are all sinners & need His grace...the greedy rich man, the "entitled" person on the dole who could work but won't, the person struggling to raise kids & py the bills, singly or in a couple, the people who are high ranked officials & those on the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder, the terrorist & the peacekeeper. Sin is a great equalizer, & God has provided the perfect Remedy...by giving of Himself for His fallen creation.
And THAT is the point. So read...even if you're just curious or outright hostile to religion...& see what you think when you're done.

Long way home
I will tell you the truth I loved this story it hit close to home for me but demanding g 20 words or more is why I don't comment on all I read. I speak in low volume. I can say more meaningful words if left to my own levels of how many word's to use.

A great value of six Christian romance novels. Each story is centered on God and his love. I admit that I already read one of the books before I started. This was a great way to get to know other authors and their work.

Good series
This was a good set of books with good clean morals and godly council for different issues. Mystery, romance, and Christian living, although a few risky situations that should be avoided to keep from falling into temptation.

Loved them all and can relate to so many of the issues - forgiveness and believing God is in control
Great books of Christian fiction that is so realistic for all and at times so reflected life events that hope was needed

All six of the stories were excellent. Once you start it's hard to put them down. The stories of pain, greed, heart break, and faith that helped each one was great reading.
