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.

This book really spoke to my heart and encouraged me a lot in my faith. It is a must read for any woman who has ever felt discouraged in her walk with God.

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.

This book was given to me and I liked it so much a friend and I purchased several when they were in paper back and less expensive to give to teen girls for graduations and etc. The grasp of how the world is always trying to tempt the believer and convince us that we are waiting in vain and the hurt we feel when we fall for the lies and live worldly was so on target, I as well as all who read it wepted at the end, I felt the pain that Christiana felt because I was her, I realized that we have to be ready for the day when the Lord will return and not play the harlot while we are waiting. I thought it was a timely and well written book considering the loose sexually consenting world we live in and it will hopefully prevent young people from having to go that way.It helps one to realize that we actually hurt ourselves and feel the agony when we are face to face with a holy God.

With an Everlasting Love is one of the most beautifully written books to lead a person to the love of Jesus Christ. It is also incredible for any believer to see the unfailing and unconditional love of Christ. Every woman and every man should read this book.

To think that I mistreated His Gift-yet He didn't send me away!

Kay Arthur gives us a very relevant, emotional look into our relationship with our Redeemer. It is honest and convicting, yet it is not condemning. Shaddai is as Christ is....loving us with an everlasting love and waiting for us to accept that love and fall into His Arms. It gave me a greater appreciation for my salvation and now, more than before, I anticipate His return!

My heart has softened to the warmeth of God's mercy since I've read "With an Everlasting Love". I have seen the depth of Jesus' love for me, His Beloved Bride. And looking at my sin, then looking at Christ's redempting grace...how can I ever be the same again?
Kay Arthur really brings the Gospel to your front door!

This is one of my favorite books by Kay Arthur. I have given many copies of this book as gifts. It is simply WONDERFUL. Read it and it just may change your life for the better.

Christianna, the heroine of this novel, is engaged to Joshua, who has left her for some indefinite period of time, with the fervent promise to return. In his absence, however, she starts to think that he might not in fact reappear and is tempted by a charming stranger. However, this story being a parable of the christian's life, he does return. What happens then is the greatest surprise and miracle of all.
I simply love this book. It is a most beautiful portrayal of God's faithful love for the most sinful human being, and it is also a metaphor for the believer's struggles in this world, where sometimes it seems the Lord's second coming is delaying beyond our endurance.
Joshua's love brought me a clearer idea of Jesus' love for me (and also reminded me of my husband).
This is a beautiful, christian, profound book. It encourages, it edifies, it evangelizes. It speaks of God.
