ForHimAlone Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I've just read an incredible book! It's called [u]Arms of Love[/u] by Carmen Marcoux. It's about a young 26-year-old man with a very bad sexual past, involving many promiscuous relationships. He meets a 22-year-old woman, on fire for the Catholic faith and completely in love with Jesus Christ, and begins to fall in love with her. Throughout this book, the importance of saving yourself for a future spouse and the problems with the abuse of human sexuality are very beautifully portrayed. It's a wonderful read, and I most highly recommend it to all, especially to young women discerning a call to marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you check her website, it also says she's writing a sequel. Edited July 16, 2006 by passerby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIX Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) Is it a fictional story? Just curious. Edit: Wait, the above post just answered my question. Edited July 17, 2006 by XIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XIX Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I find this incredibly interesting because in my mind (heart?) lately, I've been thinking it wo0uld be cool beyond belief to convert a woman and then marry her, or something to that effect. What could be better than playing Kinght in Shining Armor so well that you save your sweetheart's soul? Just toying with thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Through my discernment, I've found that God may be wanting me to court one of my best friends, after we receive my Spiritual Director's approval. He had a massive conversion about a year ago, and it was such a priviledge to be the one to lead him to Christ. He, kind of like Brandon in the book, had been in a bad sexual relationship in the past and now he's saving everything for his future spouse. It's really beautiful.
