This is really 4 in 1, so I believe I've made my unspoken goal of reading all my goal in half the time. ;)
Now, about the books.
The Best Man intrigued and had a number of interesting twists and turns. It struck me how different their world was from ours, again. Every time I read a Grace Livingston Hill, I am interested to find out how the standards and expectations have changed so very much.
But one thing hasn't changed, at least for some of us...faith in Christ is the most important aspect of our lives. We just have to remember.
By the way, the ending of the last story, "As in A Mirror," was a shocker for a romance reader. At the same time, I am impressed by the heroine's firm stand on truth.
A collection of very clever stories! I had never before read a wholesome yet engaging story about a secret agent, which is the first of the 4 short stories within this collection. The other 3 stories are more spiritually challenging and thought-provoking than they are fun to read, but they are also fun.
