{Review} Spoken For

Every little girl dreams of her future romance.  Isn't that why we have Disney movies?  We long to have Cinderella's happily ever after, or Belle's beast turned gentleman (and that library, to be honest). But little do these girls know, they already have their romance.  That's where Alyssa Joy Bethke's and Robin Jones Gunn's book comes in.  This book is all about your love story with the greatest Romancer of all:  Jesus Christ.

This book, along with the last one I reviewed, have just been honey to my soul.  My heart has so longed for these words and to have them manifested in my life.  Every girl needs this book because every girl needs this Love Story.  My copy is fully dog-eared and marked up with an inky pen.  It's on my to-do list to read again this summer.  I also tell all of my avid reader friends to buy this book because it will change their life!

One of the best parts of this book is Alyssa's love story.  She didn't meet her now-husband until she was 22.  Prior, she had never dated.  This is such an encouragement to my 21-year-old self who hasn't even had a handsome boy buy her coffee.  Spoken For is my hope.  Going to a Christian university, the pressure to marry early is extreme.  Who knew the words "ring by spring" could bring such ridicule and giggles as freshmen, then such pain and heartbreak four years later?  There is hope for me, in countless ways.  God reminded me of this through Alyssa's and Robin's book.

I pray that you would find this same hope!
