The Desire

By: Dan Walsh

      Gary Smalley

 

I love to read books by Dan Walsh and Gary Smalley.  All books you pick up and can't put down. Always well written.  Characters you fall in love with.

Michele  who hasn't been able to have a baby fulfills a longing by watching kids play at a park. While her husband is off on a missions trip and sees how bad the children are there and a little orphan girl touches his heart.  He wants to do all he can to help over in Africa, Michele wants to have a baby and looking into ways this can happen. Can their relationship handle being pulled in opposite directions? Michele meets a young unwed mother at the park. She is their trying to make her mind up about her unborn baby. Can God meet the desires of all their hearts? 

Great book you won't want to put it down.  I liked the story. I think the book is good for  anyone. Clean , spiritual book.

I was given this book by Revell for my own honest opinion.
