Misunderstandings In Love

Courting Love by Jodie Wolfe is a Christian historical 3 in 1 book that I enjoyed.

The stories are set-in small-town America in 1876-77. They are surrounding three sisters who are all looking for love, without necessarily realising what is under their noses the whole time.

God’s plans for the sisters are so much greater than their plans. “Sometimes God gives us what we don’t expect, but what we need the most.” God knows us better than we know ourselves.

The sisters are close-knit as they have lost both parents. They all look out for each other and they all have different skill sets. Their love for all is plain to see. “We got each other. Why would we need much more than that?” The sisters have the correct priorities. They enjoy each other and the simple things in life. They build their lives on God and each other. In contrast we meet a very selfish young woman who does not go to church or say prayers. Her priorities are on wealth and outward appearances.

Prayer is important. “I pray for you both…that you’ll find godly men.” We need to commit every area of our lives to God. There is nothing that is too big or too small for Him. If it bothers us, it bothers Him. God wants to be involved in our lives.

We need to recognise when we need God’s help. “I need Your strength… I can’t do it on my own.” God will step in when we ask Him too.

Within the stories there are misunderstandings but as the characters look to God, He restores order in their lives.

I thoroughly enjoyed Courting Love. It was a novel full of godly truths, wholesome characters and the love of family and of God. I can highly recommend it.

I received a free copy from the author. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
