Reviews

[Shauna Ryall · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent book showing the tough consquences of self-will. The author uses a variety of writing styles such as poetry, letters between family members. This is not an easy read for anyone choosing to try living within God's will.

كلما حاولت تذكر وجهه اكثر كلما خفّ تفكيري في المال. ثم استغرقت في التفكير في طفلي الذي تركتهم يأخذوه مني. آه، يا لبؤسي! .. اخيرا لم استطع ان ادرس او اركز على اي شئ في عملي، حتى ان رئيسي قد اخبرني انه عليّ ان اترك العمل.. بدات الوم عمتي روث .. اخيرا ساءت الامور حتى تصورت انني سأفقد عقلي لو انني لم ارى وجه شاد مرة اخرى.
وهو ودعني وذهب الى المعمل. اعرف الان انه ذهب الى هناك ليصلي. هل صحيح ما يقال ان "العمل عبادة"؟ اذن فشادي سوف يصلي في معمله.

Wonderful book about God’s redeeming love

I first read “Not My Will” back in the early 90s. It is one I’ve never forgot, and I was so happy to find it on Kindle! Like I mentioned, the story is memorable. The sequel is good too, but Not My Will is in a league of its own. If you like Christian Romance, read it!

Complex story!

I found this to be a great page turner book set. Didn't realize the second book was a continuation..of sorts.😊. Highly recommended these!
