5.0 out of 5 stars An Honest Look at Rebuilding Broken Relationships, October 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dancing in the Arms of God: Finding Intimacy and Fulfillment by Following His Lead (Hardcover)

Connie Neal is one of the best authors I have read. She is honest, and shows courage in this discription of what she and her husband have victoriously overcome. Issues addressed in this book, such as depression and infidelity are everyday occurances. What is NOT so day to day is the forgiveness and love that are spoken of in this awesome book. Read it, and find out for yourself how the lives of two people become even stronger. It is not by their own strength, but by a Father who steps in where they surrender.

By A Customer

This review is from: Dancing in the Arms of God (Paperback)

Every Christian women should read this book at least once. Dancing in the arms of God is a true romance with God. I just love her correlation to the cinderella story. Don't we all want to be like cinderella, well Connie shows us that we are. Our prince is Jesus Christ.

4.0 out of 5 stars An uplifting book for those who need to feel loved, June 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dancing in the Arms of God (Paperback)

This book was very uplifting and encouraging. It puts into perspective who our first love should be, who we should seek out as our "Prince Charming". Uniquely written in Cinderella story form. Quick and easy reading. Scripture references were helpful as well as the study in the back.
