I was surprised to read of Rene's close encounter in Oklahoma City (God still had plans for her!) and it was kind of surprising to hear how Cheryl fights with God. I had never thought of it that way, but I guess I do that often too. Always wanting my way and then getting mad when God doesn't give it to me. Thanks for opening my eyes to that! I would love to win a free copy of this book since my husband would never allow me to buy it on my own with 'his' money. He would say it doesn't give God the honor He should get, as he is very literal in his thinking and would say it makes fun of God. Anyway, thanks for this giveaway and the intervies--I enjoyed them! God bless!

Her obedience was rewarded with her first book contract when her baby was just five months old. That impressed me tremendously, especially since I am always fighting God for "the purple pen." I can't wait to read Never the Bride. I hope I win it!<br /><br />mizgotrocks@wt.netPat Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004933270844397256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979453812706020935.post-1217367184588791682009-06-19T12:42:58.807-04:002009-06-19T12:42:58.807-04:00Sounds like a wonderful book!
