Romance angel Sarah Wingspand is back in Texas, where “Little Miss Goof Up” is on assignment to get Karen and Jeremy together—through the Internet.Sarah, the loveable angel who is perpetually confused by human technology, not to mention directions, wonders how she’ll be able to carry out the directives from The Heavenlies this time. A computer? Sarah could barely recall her classes with Professor Tim, and although she does her best to try to watch and learn from her charge on earth, it’s rough going. But discovering that half the battle is won because Karen and Jeremy work for the same company is one big sigh of relief. If only she could get her hunger and her favorite red stilettos under control, the assignment would be the easiest ever.Karen and Jeremy work for the oil industry as geologists. Their conversations tend to go over Sarah’s head, but she enjoys listening in, and gently guiding them toward each other. From the time Karen logs into an Internet dating service at the urging of her friend Brittany, to meeting the “wrong” guy, to trying to work through Karen’s emotional baggage, Sarah relishes her assignment and the friendship the two human girls share. Sarah continues to reign in her unfortunate tendency toward sarcasm with rumblings from on high, and learning to trust the Father to handle even her goof-ups, which he can use for his own good purposes. Like her charge, Karen, Sarah learns to call for help when needed, from such characters as Mother Goodness, who’s only a call away, Professor Tim, and Tomas the Warrior Angel when Karen’s stubbornness gets her in trouble.A delightful series, Lewis’s Sarah Wingspand will remind you that faith is more than a state of mind; it’s an action, and pray is both powerful and comforting. For readers of sweet romance who like their reading in bite-size chunks, Sarah and the Internet Dating Service is an enjoyable story. The book stands alone, but will make you want to read them all.
