Faith had spent most of her life bouncing from foster home to foster home, only to end up back at the orphanage every time. The nuns were the only “family” that Faith could really remember ever having.When she becomes too old to continue living at the orphanage, Faith agrees to move out to the ranch that belongs to a man who had spent a lot of time out at the orphanage and had been kind to her.At first, she is leery, because the old man that had convinced her to come live and work on his ranch, hadn't bothered to mention the fact that he had a son that also lived and worked the ranch.Cyrus – “Cy” is everything Faith has ever dreamed of in a man. A God fearing man who was good with his hands with a great sense of humor… but he's also sexy, flirtatious, tall, sweet, rugged, and wanting to move their relationship towards the physical. Can she trust him? Is this real love that she's feeling? Or is it just sinful, sexual attraction?All Faith knows for sure is that he makes her nervous! Trusting him could be the hardest thing she'd ever tried to do; but the idea of a real family with him might just be worth the potential heartache.
We see love everywhere. It binds husbands and wives, parents and children, brothers and sisters, and close friends. But all the love we experience in this world pales by comparison to the love God has shown to us. This was a love so profound that He “gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish” (John 3:16). In Experiencing the Love of God, you will look at key passages in Scripture that talk about the divine love that God has for you. You will see how the Bible is really a love story, for God—your Hero—was so determined to be with you that He went to incredible lengths to save you. One day, He will return for you and take you to the home He has prepared! God’s love is truly unparalleled, and all He asks is that you receive it! The Women of Faith® Bible Studies provide intriguing insights into topics that are relevant to women’s lives today. Each guide includes twelve weeks of study, down-to-earth illustrations, and reflections to help you move the truth from your head to your heart. A leader’s guide for use with small groups is also included.
Faith is your typical preacher's kid... She has rebelled and acted out against her father's religion... Not because she didn't agree with it, but because she didn't really understand it. After a particularly big mistake, she moves back home to lick her wounds and try to heal, but under the strict rules that she was to get involved with the church as long as she had to live under her father's roof. Gage has seen his own share of mistakes. Most of the townspeople didn't know the half of it... He had been stunned when the Pastor at the church he now frequented had asked him to take over the young single's Bible study... With all the mistakes and backsliding he had done over the years, he was the last person who should be teaching others how to tow the straight and narrow line... But he hadn't had it in him to turn down the man who had single handedly saved his life, so to speak. When these two troubled young adults meet, the attraction is instantaneous, but they had both been burned so badly in the past, that they are both scared to even try to work things out together... Yet... the draw they both feel is too strong to deny. He is sexy as sin, and Faith is VERY tempted to let her hormones take over, just like she had before.... Gage can't even THINK straight around Faith, he wants her so bad. What neither of them realizes was that they had been brought into each other's lives by a higher power... meant to help each other heal from the wounds they had both incurred in the past.
