Great Christian Read

This Christian fiction book is a quick read and yet has some depth to it. It's the third of the "Place Called Home" series and I think the best. It gives insight into feelings when one loses a spouse and shows two opposite ways of handling it. Paul Cameron was a Pastor who got angry at God for letting his spouse die so left the ministry. On the other hand, Abby, a pastor's wife, accepted her spouse's death as God's will and relied on Him for strength and comfort. Although predictably, Paul and Abby fall in love with each other; however, the journey of how they arrive there was very interesting and entertaining. I also liked how Lori Wick included humor when Abby was nursing Paul back to health. It is well written and I believe anyone who has prayed for healing for someone and they died anyway can relate to the feelings expressed in this book through Paul and Abby. --Karen Arlettaz Zemek, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"

For all romantics at heart

The Long Road Home is a great book for evey romantic at heart. The novel leads readers down a path of adventure and bitter heartbreak. I really enjoyed this novel; many times I had to force myself to put it down! The Bible verses and the characters' faith in God throughout the entire novel were of great encouragement to me. No matter what the circumstance the two characters remain steadfast in their faith. The struggles the characters face are practical and can be easily applied to everyday life,even if you don't experience that particular difficulty. For example,both of th main characters experience the loss of their mate. Both are shattered. Paul becomes bitter, while Abby accepts what is and tries to make the best of it.They find that the best way to deal with your struggles is to give them to God and in doing so life will be much easier. Who knows there may even be a reward ??? Read this book, you won't be sorry you did!

Well written and engaging

I read the first book in this series and fell in love with Lori Wick. The second one, I felt was slow, but I still loved it. This one was wonderful. Ms Wick shows that life is not all roses and rainbows. I like how she had Paul changes so dramatically after his wife died. By the middle of the book, I hardly recognized him from the man at the beginning. Abby was a wonderful character, a strong Christian. They way Ms. Wick weaved these characters together was ingenious. I loved this book and I cannot wait to read the fourth in this series.

Wonderful

This is a good example of how Lori Wicks' writing dos'nt always start out with a happy begining.It is well wrote and I have read it at least 6x. If you you like Lori Wicks books I advise you read this one and get caught in the romance of Paul and Abigail.
