A Time to Embrace by Karen Kingsbury

This is an inspiring story of a couple who are rebuilding their marriage after finding themselves on the brink of divorce.  Their newly-strengthened relationship is put under strain by problems at work and a catastrophic event which not only tests their relationship and their faith, but also shakes the entire community.

This was the first piece of Christian Fiction I have read and I did not know what to expect.  The book focussed on the characters’ relationships with God and the power of prayer.

I thought the book was okay.  It certainly wasn’t something I would normally choose to read.  Much of the storyline revolves around High School (American) Football of which I have no knowledge or interest. 

I think this book would be an inspiring read to someone going through relationship problems, or to a Christian who is perhaps struggling with their faith.  The book certainly made me reflect on both my marriage and my faith.
