Description
Many people search for the meaning of life. Others live that meaning. That's what you'll find here. Theirs was a quiet romance... Ole and Shirley. Steady and strong. No bells and whistles. No parades. They simply shared a quiet, steady, daily faith; the kind that strengthens the weak, emboldens the meek, brings light to the darkest circumstances. Extraordinary in its ordinary premise, each vignette in this little book illustrates how uncomplicated faith can undergird every difficulty. You won't necessarily find happily ever afters. Nor will you find pie in the sky. But what you will find is an honest exploration of what it means to live your faith every day. A love story to her family, Shirley's essays, poems, and narratives unfold to display a life of simple faith, deep love, and a heartfelt desire to display the beautiful reality of faith well lived. Yes. Theirs was a quiet romance. But nothing could beat the excitement of their extraordinary ordinary life together.
