I LOVED THESE BOOKS! And even though i'm reading them nearly twenty years since they were originally published they still shine in gold! She is perfect at explaining and writing every situation. Most times when I read books the authors are amazing at writing, lets say, romance. but when a situation pops up, and lets say it was, Action. They're awful at it! But Francine Rivers is an amazing writers and honestly this series is an encouragement to me. I highly recommend these books.
