OVERVIEW

Josiah is an author of books on marriage and recovery from marital problems. Very popular and sought after, Josiah is unaware that his own marriage is crumbling. He begins to question all the various ways he has counseled others in his books.

I love the gradual change in Josiah as the book progresses and he yields to the Lord’s will for himself, his wife and their marriage. Starting out self-absorbed and self-centered, then becoming more and more Christlike in his love for Karin. Very inspiring.
