Great message, poor execution. Firstly, could the word "barren" be used more often? Good gravy, find a synonym! Characters speak with to much flowery language and flourish, not feeling natural at all. I can't get over how crazy selfish the characters are at the beginning of the story which makes the hyper-dramatic turn around at the end even more outlandish. The message of chasing God's plans for your life instead of your own is great, as is the concept of submitting to your spouse, but I just couldn't get into this book.

If you enjoy Christian Fiction you will like this book. The story is very God centered. Not preachy at all. This is one of the first books Rachel Hauck wrote. Her newer books are still God centered, but not as blunt.

This book has wonderful characters with flaws. It was great to read about a marriage as a work in progress. Ethan and Julie have difficulties to overcome and work out. They weren't always being mature and communicative. This is so real and awesome to read about. It was nice to see the people who surrounded Ethan and Julie wanted their marriage to succeed. So many books are written as though a marriage is disposable.

This book is very uplifting and encouraging. I will be reading more of Rachel Hauck.

Working together

Lambert's core is a good lesson for all of us. When we marry we really do not know what's in store for the years ahead BUT we have vowed to "hang in there for the long haul" This BOOK gives insight on the wisdom of our elders. it is essential to heed their advice. they have had experiences over the years very similar to what you are going thru. Thank you Rachel for writing human reality.

Lambert's Code is a nice, quick read. I liked how Rachel developed the character's and allowed them to work through their crisis and come out stronger in the end. This is a positive example of how family can provide a level of support not seen often in society. It was nicely written and well thought out.

Chic-Lit With Spiritual Value

This plot is too much of real life for me. It's the first less-than-five-star. I've given Rachel Hauck's writing. Many will love this story of God healing a marriage. Hopefully the Lambert Code will be used by God to heal many relationships.
