really!

even if he loved you passionately, as a friend, a lover and forgave all your faults beforehand, and for each name he called you, he had a significance understood by both of them like a secret way of talking between siblings.

you have got to be kidding, no one can resist unconditional love. every one responds to love.
i personally think love is the greatest!

Ciao,

hope to hear from you. if my Fiance calls me "tirzah" i think i'll tingle to my toes and i am not even married so i can only imagine how g8 it would be.

Thanks, bookbybook! I will certainly consider your recommendations. I'm especially interested in your comments on Francine Rivers. I haven't tried her yet, but I note that you're not crazy about the one that seems to get all the buzz. I tend to be a bit hesitant about "Christian" genres.

Have you read Girl Meets God by Lauren Winner (I think--I'm doing this from memory)? I really enjoyed that and have been meaning to read it again. Other than that, I always recommend my all-time favorite, Brideshead Revisited (Evelyn Waugh). Oh--and I remember LOVING the Anne of Green Gables books--bet you're having a blast.

Thanks for the note. Do you recommend Rees Howells--Intercessor (not that I should be adding any more books to my Plan to read list. Sigh.)? I had to go to Amazon for a write-up of it...

I'm surprised you didn't like "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. I loved that book! Although granted, it was predictable to a degree, it didn't turn out exactly like I thought it would at all!
