One True Vow

One True Vow: Love Stories of Faith and Commitment restores my faith in the institution of marriage. The individual stories in this book are not only entertaining, but heart wrenching as well. Many of these real-life couples have gone through trials and tribulations that most people couldn't even imagine. I found One True Vow a great read--a page turner--as I read each couple's true story of love and faith, along with discouragements, rejections, unfaithful spouses, deaths, empty nesters, rebellious teenagers in blended families, and how they overcame their difficulties and still remained married. I highly recommend One True Love for anyone married or thinking of getting married, and especially for those thinking of separation or divorce.I met and spoke to Eva Marie Everson during a women's retreat and found her to be a loving, warm person who truly cares about people. She has a strong, Biblically-based faith in God and is a fabulous speaker. Her southern charm and humor will not only engage you and draw you into her stories, but she will make you feel totally comfortable and at home. I highly recommend Eva Marie for speaking engagements such as retreats, writers' seminars, church groups, men's and women's groups.

We've been blessed

We didn't realize the emotional impact that, "One True Vow" would have on us until we read it. We both cried. Eva wrote our story about my long term illness, just as if she'd been living here with us. We've truly been so blessed throughout the long, hard haul that it almost seems a dream that it's been so long. God has erased so many bad memories, but through it all, we hung onto Him. He was our source, as I'm sure he was each and everyone elses in, "One True Vow." I'm so blessed that my husband took, "in sickness and in health serious." He's upheld our vows.An excellent encourager to those doubting what God can do in their marriage. It should all start from the wedding day and meaning the vows we repeat to one another. Great gift for those intending to marry. Be blessed,Bobbi McGillI pray this book will be used to God's glory.

my story in print

Eva wrote me and asked me to share my trials and tribulations during my husbands illnesses. I gladly did so. I know that my story is represented clearly and truthfully. God was so good to us during the troubling times. As I read over my story this afternoon, tears came into my eyes because since I gave this story to Eva, my husband has gone on to be with Jesus. I miss him so much. I would gladly take care of him longer if God would let me. God is so good.
