Faithful

Jan 11, 2011 Fylvia added it · review of another edition

This book allows the reader to meander through the lives of a handful of women–sisters and friends, some single, others married–and observe how real life and real problems can unravel faith.

Set in modern day Western culture, teeming with responsibilities to family and opportunities to be discreet, the parallel lives of these women illustrate the role of fidelity in marriage and chasitity in singlehood. Cyd is the central character who holds the plot and the all the stories together with her unwa...more

I was truly, honestly, blown away by this book!

While I had high hopes for a title & author I'd never heard of before... simply due to the Women of Faith endorsement, I had no idea what I was in for, but God sure did!

Drawing for true to life characters, scenarios, and sincere struggles... there is a little something here for everyone's life, heart, and need. Yet they are all so intricately woven, and none more prominent or important than the other, I'm still astounded at the beautiful balance...more

Once I got into this book by Kim Cash Tate, I couldn't put it down. The intertwined stories of the three best friends show clearly the message of not only God's faithfulness to us, but also our need to be faithful to our husbands and wives and to ourselves. Without understanding how our unfaithfulness can hurt not only each other, but also ourselves and ultimately God, we will not be able to live the way God intended.

Cyd is a 40-year-old single professor, Dana has a perfect marriage with a man who is dedicated to the Lord, and Phyllis is married to a man who won't have anything to do with church or with God. At the wedding Cyd meets an intreging man who, although a member of the church believes that the rules of sex only apply to those who are married; Dana discovers...more

Faithful seemed more sermon than novel (in fact, about fifty pages of the novel is two of the pastor's sermons and the conversations at two small group studies discussing the sermons - then later on, a woman tells a man about Christ, and salvation is outlined in its entirety - the same thing happens during a Christmas scene when a grandmother reads a Christmas book to her granddaughter).

Cydney thought she knew God's plan for her life but at 40 she realizes the path God has chosen for her may not be what she thought after all.

Dana seems to have the perfect life until she discovers her husband is having an affair and her world is rocked out of control.

Phyllis has a deep relationship with God which she passes on to her children easily but her husband is a non-believer which makes their life together tumultuous at best. When she runs into an old friend, a very Christian man, she starts to question her life choices.

God and their faith play very important parts in each of these women's lives. Is their faith strong enough to help them through their struggles?

The author writes quite naturally about not only individual relationships with God, including the issues of premarital sex, lust, betrayal, trust, and faithfulness but she does it without being preachy and doesn't lead us to the "happily ever after" scenario.

There are definite Christian messages throughout the entire book but it is truly the story of three women in totally different stages of their lives and how the deal with strife as well as the day to day issues every woman faces daily.

The women and men in this book are flawed just as all of us are, there is no perfect life. Challenges are faced , dealt with, moved on, just as we all of do everyday. The difference is that in this book the relationships with God are brought to the forefront, not kept in the background and while the issues tackled are not easy, the author has written them in a way that not only shows God's love but interweaves hope and faith in a way that shows that all relationships including those with God and our family entail a great deal of work. We are never promised that life is going to be easy.

If you are looking for a typical Christian romance book, this is not it. This book is much more. As a Christian our faith can be questioned daily and this book uses these three women's lives to show us just a few instances of questions but there is a true underlying message for everyone. God will give us strength but we must put in the time too. The time for prayer, the time of helping others, the time for ourselves. Most importantly our hearts need to be open to receiving His gifts.

This is a well written novel that I truly enjoyed but be prepared to not only read about the faith of the characters in this book, it will also make you look at your own faithfulness.

I can see why it was chosen for Women of Faith. I hope I don't give away any spoilers in my review, but it's from my heart, so please forgive me if I do...

As far as realism goes, I found this book to be very sincere and believable. I sensed the author's heart for marriage and healing in this story. I could tell that she poured her heart into the message that was so skillfully woven into the story. This book, while dealing with Scriptures, church, and other Christian themes, did not feel preachy at all. I dislike preachy stories. This was so natural in flow and theme that I didn't feel like a sermon was being preached. That is a good thing, especially if people of weak faith read this book. It won't turn them off to the message.

Having known people in just about every situation written about in this story, I found the conflict to be well done. It showed the dark side of sin and temptation without getting too ugly. So many books where women were cheated on show rage that goes on and on and frankly, that gets old. I want to walk into the pages and tell the characters, "A-hem, you are supposed to love Jesus and believe in grace and forgiveness, remember?"

There was such a godly balance in this story that was refreshing. The author didn't shy away from showing the beauty of marital love and true peace in the home. These issues are so important and many authors skim over them, probably out of fear that it won't be well-received. I loved how deep the author delved into the story regarding the marital themes. Sex in marriage is beautiful and if the author had totally shied away from showing this, then the book would have been weak, at best. I also loved how the author showed that honesty is essential in any relationship for it to be solid enough to withstand temptation. Real love doesn't hold back.

Things tied up well at the end, but the story wasn't too neatly wrapped up. Some situations were still unresolved, but this wasn't bad because it was dealt with in such a way that it worked for the story. There was a very positive ending to this book, and in this current economy I think readers will find that refreshing as well. I'll bet that many couples aren't divorcing right now because it's simply too expensive to do that, so they live in misery. Kim shows that marriage is worth fighting for, and that friends need to support each other through the hard times.

I loved Cyd's struggle with Cedric. I've known guys who were players and honestly, after they've been doing that for years, some guys simply tire out from living the playboy lifestyle and start to regret the lack of true intimacy in their relationships. A strong Christian woman would be very attractive to a man who is tired of playing the field. I loved how she sensed the need to be cautious and not give in to the desires she felt because she'd just turned forty and had been faithfully single for many years. I also loved how she sought the Lord in regards to the relationship and listened to his voice. Plus, she was accountable to other women who were Christians.

I felt Phyllis's agony over the lack of spiritual connection with her husband and can see how easily that could be a snare for a woman who wanted more from their marriage. I also understood her husband's pain and the reason for his issues. This was powerfully done. I found it very realistic in regards to the temptation she felt and the emotions she experienced while fighting her emotional demons. In essence, she was having an emotional affair and that can be just as hard to break in some ways. But friends, faith, and good fellowship helped turn her around. I loved how much these ladies prayed for each other, too.

Dana's painful situation probably touched my heart the most. I loved the message in this subplot as well. Dana felt all of the emotions and grief that a woman would feel in her situation, but did so with a heart who had a personal relationship with the Lord. So she was sensitive to His voice. She also loved her husband. So many people think adultery is a rift that can never be repaired in a marriage. I've known several couples who have healed after adultery and it was always because both parties wanted to work it out, and while grieving, the person sinned against was willing to work through the pain rather than beating up the spouse that hurt them.

I loved how Scott never gave up and was willing to publicly humiliate himself for a greater purpose. Despite his mistakes he was committed to their marriage. I believed he was sincere and his confession sounded totally realistic to me. The whole church body benefited from his boldness. And Dana was such a wonderful example to all women who have been hurt. The message about Israel being unfaithful to God and how we are all unfaithful at times was a good one. We all need to be aware that we are capable of falling. It's when we stand on our own self-righteousness that we're the most vulnerable.

This book was so awesome that I almost read it straight through. It ranks high on my list of favorites for 2010. I've read a lot of good books this year and this was one of the most inspiring for me personally. I highly recommend it. (less)

This was an excellent novel dealing with real issues in a realistic way. It features 3 women and the struggles they face in their walk with God. One woman discovers her husband is having an affair and must deal with the fallout. Another struggles with wanting her husband to become a believer so they can have a deeper spiritual connection. The 3rd woman is single and 40, not what she had thought her life would be like. Will she remain faithful to God when temptation comes her way?

Only one person acknowledges her special day and that’s Cedric, a man she met days before. A kind gesture on his part leads to a birthday dinner, but does Cedric really care about Cyd’s birthday or does he have ulterior motives? Cyd’s best friend, Dana, is experiencing trouble in her marriage; her husband, Scott, committed adultery. Even though there is forgiveness, will this Christian couple be able to get their marriage back on track? And Cyd’s friend, Phyllis: She’s a Christian, but her husband, Hayes, isn’t and it is her heart’s desire that he surrender his life to the Lord. How long can she continue to be a good Christian wife when the man she’s married to doesn’t have an ounce of respect for Christianity?

When Dana discovered Scott’s unfaithfulness, I felt so bad for her and I was not happy with him at all. Why didn’t Scott care about what God wanted him to do ‘before’ he made a bad choice? What? He could remember James 5:16 (Confess your sins one to another) but totally forgot about number seven of the Ten Commandments? He committed adultery and broke Dana’s heart, the woman he supposedly loved. It was good that he repented – necessary, in fact - but I didn’t think it was necessary for him to go about it the way he did, because his sins really weren’t ‘everybody’s’ business. But, then again, because of his testimony he may have helped other people to see the error of their ways. Now, I do believe Dana forgave Scott too quickly and I’m wondering if she did because she felt put on the spot. The author does show Dana still struggling with her feelings after she forgave her husband and I was glad to come to that part of the story, but still, the man had sex with another woman. Christian or not, adultery is the ultimate betrayal and yes, God wants us to forgive, but I’m thinkin’ it takes a much longer time before a woman gets to the point where she’ll even let her husband put a finger on her again, let alone embrace her.

I was glad Phyllis went to her class reunion, because she deserved to take some time for herself. She had a good time and I was happy for her. This character attended the same college my son attended, the University of Maryland College Park. That part of the story was entertaining because of the fun everybody was having and the familiarity made it much more enjoyable. Now, as for her marriage: I felt really bad for this woman. She got to the point where she couldn’t even manage ‘the faith of a mustard seed’. Life was getting her down and there was no answer from God no matter how much she prayed. I could understand why she thought the heavenly Father wasn’t working on her situation, but she needed to remember to ‘walk by faith, not by sight’ even though that can be difficult sometimes. And, personally, I was glad she ran into, Rod. He was a good Christian man with a heart for young people. I liked him and he was somebody Phyllis could relate to. Was it wrong for her to enjoy the fellowship of a Christian brother? No, it wasn’t… as long as she kept it friendly and didn’t cross any lines. I was reading Chapter 10 and thought ‘walk in the Spirit, not in the flesh, girl’.

Phyllis’ husband, Hayes: This man had serious issues and I figured something must have happened in his past to make him act the way he did. Church didn’t come between him and Phyllis as he claimed. The problem was his attitude towards God. Kudos to Phyllis for caring enough about her spiritual growth to still attend services even though he unbelieving husband wouldn’t go, and for making sure her children didn’t miss church as long as she was around.

Pregnancy out-of-wedlock, fornication, adultery: Kim Cash Tate deals with unfaithfulness in a way that’s thought-provoking and entertaining. Some folks at Living Word Community Church kept Pastor Lyles busy, that’s for sure. Cyd was the main character. I liked her, I was very proud of her for the choice she made as I read the end of chapter eleven and I liked the part about the lavender rose, but the other characters situations drew me in more, Phyllis’ in particular. And as for the wedding, it was so elegantly described. In fact, the way Tate describes details from Stephanie’s bridal fitting to the exchanging of vows made me feel like I was I was a part of it all.

Faithful is like a good Hallmark movie. I’d have no problem cozying up on the couch to watch this story coming to life on television. It would be very nice if that happened. One thing, though: All throughout the story there are inspiring, encouraging, uplifting prayers and even prayers before meals, but when a character accepts Jesus as personal Lord and Savior the prayer of salvation or some call it ‘the sinners prayer’ – the most important prayer of all - is omitted and I didn’t understand why. I don’t believe a person has to be a Christian to enjoy this book, so I’m thinkin’, hoping, really, that unsaved readers enjoying the story could begin to feel like they want to know Christ so it would have been good if the words to pray were there for them.

Thoughts that came to mind immediately after reading this book: Sometimes Christians don’t pray because we don’t want to hear the answer. Also, Christians make mistakes just like everyone else. We are not perfect. If we are trying to please God with our choices then we should know better than to do some of the things we do, but sometimes it takes a mistake here and there to bring us closer to God. Because, you see, when we do mess up it hurts to know that we hurt our heavenly Father with our disobedience, so we go to the Word more, seek Him more, pray more and our relationship with Jesus grows stronger.

They have a bond that is strengthened by there deep love for each other and there unwavering faith in Christ. They pray together and goto the same church and keep no secrets from each other. Cyd, who is 40, is unmarried and is going to attend her younger sister’s marriage which is scheduled on her 40th birthday. She had thought, she would be settled and having a family by now, but her Mr. Right, has not yet come. She feels sad and questions God’ plan for herself. She would never fall for someone like Cedric, her sister’s brother-in-law, who is a Casanova=of-sorts, but can she ignore the attraction and her want for a true Christian man? Dana has a perfect family comprising of her husband Scott and 2 beautiful children. Scott and Dana are the perfect example of beautiful marriage that is strengthened by there love for God. But when Dana finds out about Scott’s infidelity, her life is shattered and her perfect life seems to have become a disaster. Will she be able to forgive Scott and hold on to her marriage? Phyl has a perfect marriage too. She and Hayes love each other and have wonderful kids, but Phyl is bothered by Hayes not sharing her love for God. She cannot even talk about faith without offending Hayes and has prayed relentlessly for Hayes to find God. When she meets a Christian man of her dreams, will she abandon Hayes for this new guy?

I have found that I love women fiction and that featuring friends is an absolute icing on the cake. Faithful started out great for me, I loved Cyd, Dana and Phyl, no doubt but somewhere in the middle I lost the interest in there stories. Let me tell you why.
Cyd’s story is convincing, but Cedric’s is not. I can’t think how a guy who has lived a flamboyant, flirtatious lifestyle can change in one day after one bible study together? Dana and Scott are perfect… but Scott is unfaithful to Dana and one public owning up by Scott, and that’s it – Dana is working on forgiving him? I would say Phyl’s story started out a little unconvincing as she longs for Rod, the Christian man but I think the story of Hayes is the most real and interesting of them all. Why would not Phyl try to find out why Hayes was like that earlier, all this drama could have been avoided and why did she wait 6 years to talk to his mom?
The ending was like any other book striving for “Happy-ever-after”, but I did love it, only the ending.
However, I must say the bond shared by the 3 ladies, their families is beautiful. The writing is lyrical and beautiful and the story is told in alternating voices of Cyd, Dana, Phyl and Cedric as well. It was beautifully written but not convincing enough.
If you like Christian books and stories like these, I am sure you will enjoy it more than I did.
