I just finished reading this book. Abandoning yourself to the greatest romance of your life. This is the authors website. There are two more books in this series that I would also like to read. I first heard of the author from a friend. A few of us are reading her friendship of woman book. Anyways...this was a great book about our love relationship with Christ. Here are some quotes from the book...
"Romance is so much bigger than just a love story. Romance has to do with making things lovely because of love. Romance means Absorbing the beauty of life: conversation, atmosphere, places, and surroundings."
"Dream big. Pray hard. Jesus is our Prince, and this is no fairy tale."
"Wonderful men do exist outside of fairy tales, because of the power of Christ."
"What is the very best love in life? It is a deep love relationship with Jesus."
"When we focus only on salvation, we are like the couple who spends an enormous amount of money and time on the wedding but neglects the marriage."
"Communing with the Lord needs to be as necessary and consistent as breathing. We must practice His presence in everything. What do you put in your heart? What do you think about? What music? What books? What about your friends? Have you sought out people who will really sharpen you? What you allow to seep deep into your soul will affect your love relationship with Jesus and your relationship with those around you."
"...there is never true intimacy without conflict. That's when your true heart comes out."
"God will use you if you make yourself available to Him. In the process of making ourselves available to Him, He will bring forth fruit--and to bring forth more fruit, He will prune us."
"When we choose to take the hand of Jesus even though we may not know where He's leading, He has a certain destination in mind, and it will be a delightful surprise to our souls."
