Books



The following are good, wholesome fiction books that teach the principles of waiting on God for your spouse (Divine Betrothal). 


Each book has a blog post that goes with it. I would encourage ladies and young men to read these books. These book are written by an young lady named Sarah Lynn Shade.


I have found each one of these books to be a personal blessing and easy reading.
