(Sheena)Being in love with a woman who isn't a Christian when you are a missionary is more difficult than most people would think.  Felicia Mires writes about it brilliantly in this in this intense novel about Jack and Lauren. Again I found her book hard to put down and had to finish it before I went to sleep.Lauren feels she can take care of herself and has been doing a good job, but when she is opens up to her inner feelings she feels lost.Jack feels lead to everything he has done in his life, from college degrees to serving in the mission field.  He is a professor at the "old age" of 31 when he literally runs into Lauren on the beach one evening.  He feels something for her and the lost look in her eyes.Jack soon learns that Lauren isn't a Christian, but he still feels drawn to her. He knows that a romantic relationship is not Gods plan because it doesn't fit God's word. He is leaving in six months to teach on the mission field and that just wouldn't work, would it?Felicia Mires has a way of writing that shows God's plans are not always ours and uses romance to draw a beautiful picture. We never know what route God will take to make us come to Him or show us He is always in control.  In Winds on the Sand we get to take the journey with Lauren  and Jack to see what God has in store for them. Thank you Felicia, can't wait for the next book!
