awesome book. This is a keeper. the first story was my favorite but all three were good stories with good lessons. Set in the backdrop of the aftermath of WWII, three couples have to overcome their personal stumbling blocks to achieve a closer relationship with God which leads them to one another.

Enjoyed the first two books. Did not really like the third one. Just not interested in the characters.

[Lauri · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first was good.
The second had drama that can only happen in a Christian novel where two single people kissing after a dinner can be scandalous.
The third did make me cry, but I felt like he created drama by not explaining himself in the beginning.

I liked these three stories. If I had one critical thing to say about them it would be that they ended abruptly....I wanted more from the ends but I still would recommend this book.
