Kay Arthur (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 1999

With its all-new cover, Kay Arthur’s captivating novel of love and trust is sure to attract readers. With an Everlasting Love (over 400,000 copies in print), a delightful, spellbinding love story with an intriguing twist, will forever change the way Christians feel when they read, “Behold, the bridegroom is coming…”

Christianna simply couldn’t believe it. Though she was a comely woman, she was an outcast, a despised half-breed. Yet before her was a letter from a passionate but unseen lover—the legendary Joshua of Jerusalem, a righteous Jewish man of great wealth whom everyone spoke of with reverence and awe.

She had never seen him, yet he wanted her as his bride and promised to love her unconditionally…forever. He asked her to love him preeminently—above all other relationships, above her own desires, and above her own life. Yet they wouldn’t meet in person until their wedding day more than a year later.

Could she make such a commitment? Christianna thought so…until a surprise encounter with the mysterious but handsome Kosmos, who lavishes her with the personal attention she longs for. Now her mind is filled with doubt. Why was Joshua taking so long to come? Had she been a fool to believe that such a great man would want her?

5.0 out of 5 stars With an Everlasting Love, December 10, 1999

This review is from: With an Everlasting Love (Hardcover)

I read this book when I was discouraged and lonely. Not only did this book strengthen my faith in Christ, it reminded me of Jesus' unfailing love for me regardless of what I do. When I finished this well-written allegory I was nearly in tears with the knowledge that I have treated Christ just as Christianna treated her beloved. This book is a must-read for those who want to love the Lord with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Unconditional love of God takes my breath away, May 13, 2002

This review is from: With an Everlasting Love (Hardcover)

In all the books I have read in my short lifetime, this book is the only that I read in a matter of hours. Not because it was short or I wanted to get it over with, but because it was so incredibily beautiful and profound that to stop reading seemed like an impossible act.
Everyone tells you all the time how much God loves you and how far and wide his love stretches out, but after you read this masterpiece, his love will be looked at in a whole new light.
God is someone that the human mind can not figure out so trying to put a specific depth to his love is nearly unthinkable. But this awe inspiring book makes you open your eyes and more importantly your heart and see just how much the Lord really loves us. It is done with the purest of thoughts and words. If you dont fall in love with God after reading this book, I dont know what else will make you.
