5.0 out of 5 stars OUR GOD RESTORES--HIS LOVE REIGNS!!!, July 10, 2006

I started reading this book on a Sunday after it was recommended to all of the women of my church by our Pastor's wife as the August reading. I thought, I will take my time and read it. Once I started, I could not stop, I finished it the same day. I am still a newlywed (married 2 years) and I want my marriage to look like this! It took this tragedy & pain to get where God wanted them to be. I will take heed not to be off guard and think adultery could never happen to us, and guard my heart and PRAY that my husband and I can know each other and GOD the way Bob & Audrey do. It was BRAVE & AWESOME how they BOTH let GOD take-over after they LET IT GO. It was awesome to see the LOVE in the body of Christ that poured out to them. It was LOVE & wisdom & counsel & obedience & sacrifice that helped them walk that narrow path to restoration. Their story will minister to me for the rest of my life and to so many others who will never take this path and to so many who already have.

This book creates an awareness for all married couples out there that no matter how saved you are or how solid your relationship is, you are still susceptible to the various wiles of the enemy and one has to be prayerful. It also shows that God is indeed a God of full, complete and total restoration. Any family that thinks that they cannot recover from adultrey is wrong. You can with God's help. That is what this book reveals.
