Book Description: Hope believes she is above sexual temptation; that she would never break that commandment like her husband's previous wives had done. After all, she is a good Christian and a loving mother. She has no reason to stray . . . until her husband starts neglecting her needs and things begin to look hopeless. Though she clearly communicates her pain to her husband, he refuses to get help. She starts to wonder…Will she never have sex with her husband again? She soon learns that she, too, is capable of such betrayal when she succumbs to the unthinkable.
But things that first seemed sweet and reasonable given her painful situation soon produce a bitter taste when combined with the overwhelming guilt. No substitute will ever replace her love and desire for her husband. If only he would touch her like he used to. If only they could make love again. She misses him so much and wants to tell him the truth hoping it will propel him to do something to fix their problem, but she fears his rejection. Yet, she can't continue living such a hypocritical life. She knows it's wrong even though she continues to crave physical intimacy. Steeped in the quagmire of adultery, Hope must find her way back to solid ground to save her marriage. But will she lose everyone she loves in the process?
My Review: I had so many emotions as I read this book. As a woman whose ex husband cheated on her I know first hand the pain infidelity brings. My heart hurt for Hope who was dying inside wanting to be touched by James, at the same time it was crushed because while she was having the affair and was getting the physical affection she was “yearning” for it wasn’t satisfying her because what she longed for and desired was the loving, and spiritual connection she had with her husband. Without giving too much away Hope realizes that she can’t have a full and intimate relationship with her husband until God became the lover of her heart and soul. I totally identified with that, God is becoming the lover of my heart and soul as I have been healing from the pain of my divorce from my ex husband, knowing that I cannot be someone’s partner until God is the complete lover of my heart and soul. This beautiful story gives hope to those who have been hit by the tornado of adultery. I was given new eyes of compassion for those who fall into the web of adultery, realizing that Satan really does use all kinds of trappings to ensnare us, and we really need to be praying for and with our mates daily. I can’t recommend this book enough, this would be a great summer read for the beach! It comes out in JULY!!!! I give this book a LIGHTHOUSE and SHINE a LIGHT on it for pointing a path to GOD!!! Way to go Michelle!!!!!!!

Okay, Andie, that brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for reviewing my book. I pray it will be an instrument of healing for many people both single and married.
Michelle,
It was my pleasure! I had tears of both pain and joy as I read your book. I too pray that this book is an instrumental book of healing.
I came from Michelle's sight, this is a beautiful review! Wow, that really paints a great picture of this novel. Thank you!!

Je témoigne ici de la compétence d'un vieil homme vraiment remarquable.
Je vous assure que j'ai contacté plusieurs marabouts qui n'étaient que des imposteurs, des menteurs, des escrocs – je ne sais plus comment les qualifier. Mais après de longues recherches, j'ai rencontré ce vieil homme qui m'a rendu le bonheur, celui que je recherchais depuis tant d'années. Il est vraiment merveilleux. Je souffrais d'une rupture avec mon mari ; il m'a quittée il y a un an et un mois. J'ai même perdu mon emploi. Mon père était gravement malade, mais en trois jours seulement, je vous assure, des miracles se sont produits dans ma vie grâce à ce vieil homme. Aujourd'hui, je vis heureuse avec mon mari, mon père est guéri, j'ai été rappelée au travail – et même si j'ai refusé –, je suis maintenant dans un autre service, bien meilleur que le précédent. Je ne sais vraiment pas comment remercier ce vieil homme. Il s'est occupé de moi gratuitement. J'ai d'abord ressenti une profonde satisfaction avant de le récompenser. Il est vraiment très bon.
Alors, si vous avez le moindre problème, le moindre souci, n'ayez plus d'inquiétude. Contactez directement ce vieil homme. Voici son adresse :
