More About the Author

I was born and reared just outside of Savannah, Georgia. Yeah, I have a southern accent. It gets a little more southern every time I cross the Florida/Georgia state line.

If I had all the time in the world, I'd probably lie on the sofa all day and watch old movies. I usually have to get sick for something even close to that happening.

I can quote entirely too many lines from Pretty Woman (You do? You think I've got potential?). In fact, I quote lines from movies and songs so often that most people are unaware of what I'm doing. I may or may not have offended some folks. If I have...I'm sorry.

I'm an ex-nurse and a seminary graduate. I hated nursing but love God with a passion and can hardly get through a conversation without talking about our relationship! I think the Old Testament is totally FUN to read (I mean, HOW much stuff can one clan of people get in to?) and the New Testament draws me closer to Heaven. Yeah!

I'm married even though my hubby had to have his wedding band cut off due to an infected spider bite. The nurse said either that or the finger would fall off. I was going for the second option, but was alone in that. :) Now he wears it on his right hand. I can live with that. We have kids and grandkids and two absolutely adorable dogs, Hope and Poodar.

I'm rarely still and I sleep very little.

Life is good.

This review is from: True Love: Engaging Stories of Real Life Proposals (Paperback)
What a joy it is to read this book filled with true stories of love and marriage. Poems and prose and scriptures enrich every page and bring a smile to the face and a lift the heart. In this constantly changing world it's refreshing to read of true love and marriage divine style. Eva Everson's lyrical prose has given us an intimate look into the hearts of very special people. This book is a classic look at true love.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Love : Engaging Stories of Real-Life Proposals, September 19, 2000
This review is from: True Love: Engaging Stories of Real Life Proposals (Paperback)
Special Forces and Army Ranger training didn't prepare me for the most important battle of my life: overcoming years of military training and finding the art of appreciating the delicacy of the perfect moment for the perfect marriage proposal. True Love : Engaging Stories of Real-Life Proposals by Eva Marie Everson does just that. Guys don't pass this book up as a "chick flick" sort of thing! It's going to be you on the bent knee with your future, as you hope it will unfold from that moment on! For those bold souls, (and that goes for you women of action who decide to propose e.g. the author Eva Marie), read and learn. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail! This book's many stories about how men and women accomplished the perfect proposals (well, not always perfect!) but always conducted with the fine art of being at our most human; was great reading! I didn't realize this book was of the "Christian Bookstore" fare and like every great book the Bible and Shakespere are referred to. However, because this book has applicability to the most wonderful human condition of being in love and proposing marriage it deserves the widest possible readership. Fortunately, the author had that in mind. So go get it. This book is a whole lotta fun that encouraged me to ask all of my Army buddies about their proposal stories! HOOHAH!

5.0 out of 5 stars Included in Premier Company, September 18, 2000

This review is from: True Love: Engaging Stories of Real Life Proposals (Paperback)
True Love--how often do we dream of the perfection of true love without know what it really is? Eva Marie Everson is an author who understands the love that God would give us. All we have to do is turn to Him and ask. Then--in real life apply God's principles to our mortal love and marriage. All the guide lines are given in God's word, (the Bible), but, when that most important moment in a man and woman's life comes to unite--how much thought of God do we really give. This book, "True Love", "Engaging Stories of Real--Life Proposals", would be a wonderful read for anyone contemplating "popping" the question! Our own story, which appears on page 101, is a prime example of how well Eva Marie understands the joy and emotion involved when that moment comes to each couple. The sum of all the stories, as in ours, is that the marriage will work when there is a third member in that marriage. Jesus in the hearts of each couple will keep that spark of "True Love" in the life journey that two people choose to travel together. With a God centered life together, you are already a winner. Thank you, Eva Marie for including Cliff & Me in your lovely book. We are honored to be included in such good company.
