MY REVIEW:

As the title suggests, Faithful is about faithfulness on many levels. It is about three women who are faithful friends during both good times and bad. It is about faithfulness to a husband who has cheated or who is not the man of faith he should be. It is about faithfulness to Christian morality in the face of temptations. But most of all it is about the faithfulness of God who is always available to see His children through the hard times.

Faithful is a realistic story that handles some touchy subjects such as infidelity and intimacy outside marriage with honesty and restraint. The struggles of each of the three women to remain faithful to God despite their circumstances rings true and could be an encouragement to many readers who can identify with them. The power of prayer and the faithfulness of God are major themes that run throughout the narrative.  By the end of the book,  readers will encounter several instances of answered prayer and will probably see glimpses of themselves in at least one of the characters. Faithful is a thought provoking novel that could very well provide important assistance in a reader’s spiritual journey.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Three life-long friends experience life-altering struggles. Will they find the strength to be faithful to the covenants they’ve made with God…and each other?

Cydney Sanders thought she knew God’s plan for her life. She’d marry, have kids, and then snap her body back into shape with Tae Bo. But she’s celebrating her fortieth birthday as the maid of honor at her little sister’s wedding . . . and still single. Why would God give her this desire to marry, but no husband? And why is her life suddenly complicated by the best man-who’s the opposite of what she wants in a husband?

Cydney’s best friend Dana has the perfect marriage. But when Dana discovers her husband’s affair, her world goes into a tailspin. And Phyllis is out of hope after six years of unanswered prayers for her husband to find faith. When she runs into an old friend who is the Christian man she longs for, she’s faced with an overwhelming choice.

With life falling apart around them, can they trust God like never before?
