After finding God and falling in love, life is good for Dr. Jennifer O'Malley. But can her faith--and her family--survive the challenges ahead?
A sweet, short prequel to the O'Malley series. I really enjoyed this book. It was so nice to get Jennifer and Tom's back story that is only touched on in the other books. Jennifer is a lovely girl, a doctor working with the sickest kids who really puts herself and her heart out there with her kids. I appreciated that Jennifer as a new christian didn't take the bad news well with lots of trust in God initially. You see her hurt that the God she just trusted in is allowing this terrible thing to happen to her.
Tom is a wonderful man who gently witnesses to Jennifer, falls in love with her and determines to stand beside her no matter what--even when Jennifer tries to push him away.
This is a lovely story that makes me want to re-read the O'Malley books again to finish her story.
One caveat I have is at Jennifer's baptism where Tom clearly says in part that the baptism is for the forgiveness of her sins. The Bible clearly teaches that it's repentance (which is not mentioned) that saves us, not baptism. I realize there are many that don't agree with me, but I provide an honest opinion--not always a popular one--and that is the reason this dropped to four stars out of five.
I received a free digital copy of this book from Bethany House Publishing through NetGalley.com for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
