Narration Toward Books Straight Down a Crooked Lane
THIS:
"Marriage had appeared at that moment to be the ultimate state of bliss toward which all things in a girls life had been in pulling her ever since she was born." pg 203 sigh
glad it was a "christian" couple struggling this time, yet once again it was tied up in a neat (happy) ending with both coming to the Lord. not always so.
objections:
-not only one person for each person
-this feeling the main character wanted...kept looking for...it's harped on... then called love.. then abruptly "realized" in the end ???
-pg 255 you cannot forgive yourself!No where do i find this supported in scripture. If i could forgive myself then what need would i have of Him and His sacrifice and forgiveness? We either accept His sacrifice or we do not. There is no more that I can add to what He did and that is FREEING! I can't forgive myself. That is the whole point!I really think when people say ' i need to forgive myself' it is really 'i haven't accepted His forgiveness'.
-disagree that "their lives wouldn't be complete if they were separated"
that being said, i could relate to the struggle therein after having made marriage happen. i have recognized the lies of the enemy, confessed my part to the Lord and am now entering into marriage in our 4th year, for the first time. http://habeckerlife.blogspot.com/

Slow-burner, definitely dated, and a tad anticlimactic, but a sweetly didactic love story. No flash or flesh. Just an old school romance about young lovers getting married too young and learning to love one another truly, through ups and downs. Cute, but not a top favorite. Not My Will is better by far.
Read many times as a teen. Certainly not great fiction, but influential for me.
These books have such a tender place in my heart--they were a huge part of my teenage years, and probably contributed a lot to the person I am today. Love you, grandma!
I read and enjoyed this many years ago.
