Book Cover & Preview Text
Lynn- I called myself a Christian and went to several Bible studies among other things over the past few years and I was now facing something huge, life changing, painful, and unimaginable. Was I going to just simply talk the talk or was I going to walk the walk? I chose to follow God's word and guidance instead of allowing my human nature to take over. That led to the start of a long and painful, yet rewarding journey, which resulted in my becoming closer to God than ever before, and to the return of a husband to his marriage and family.
Christine - As a women and especially, I think, as women, we desire to have our "ducks in order". We meticulously plan out our days with our children to be sure they get the rest and nutrition they need, the education and play their development must have to grow, and the love they crave from day one. All of these things are running through our heads while we clean the house, do laundry, plan meals, work a job, and try to balance the many hats we must wear for the day. We are mothers, sisters, daughters, church members, employees, arm candy, devoted wives, and sex goddesses. The list could go on, but you get the picture. The balance for you is hard and exhausting! Throw in the curve ball of an affair and it smashes every single hat you wear, making you not even want to play ball anymore.
