Joanie, a strong Catholic woman, setting out in a new career as a journalist, must face one of the greatest challenges of her young life . . . romance. Committed to the values of Christian courtship, Joanie finds herself attracted to the handsome young commercial producer, Brandon - a man living a very worldly lifestyle. Brandon makes every effort to draw the attractive young reporter into his charms and into his world. Meanwhile, Joanie is battling to resist his advances, as she earnestly seeks to bring Jesus into Brandon's life.
Arms of Love details how acceptance of God's will and reliance on God is not like living to a set of rules designed to "keep you from having fun" but, rather, is actually a way to a fuller experience of life. This novel is a powerful novel that beautifully intertwines the struggles of finding your "soul mate" with the joy of trusting in the Lord's will for our lives through courtship and living a pure love. However, it is more than "just a love story". It is a compelling witness to the universal call to holiness and how we, despite our failings, can live out that call. There is sure to be a character you can relate to - whether it is Joanie, Brandon, Joanie's homeschooling parents (their relationship is also beautifully played out), one of the younger siblings, or one of the non-Catholic friends. Arms of Love is both an enjoyable read and evangelization tool!
