The Convenient Groom

The Convenient Groom by Denise Hunter

This is the second book of Hunter’s I have read and it was a beautiful allegory of Christ’s love for us. (Again this book has no overt Christianity in it but is an allegory … there are Reading Questions at the end that help you reflect.) The story portrays Christ’s unfailing love… His far reaching love for us. Her character Kate shows us how often times we try to control our lives… we want to have our ducks in a row and are trusting more in our ability to (try to) control people and situations than we are trusting God. Pride and all that it brings with it can be our downfall. It teaches the lesson of learning to trust in God, to wait upon Him, to hope in Him and to rest secure in His unfailing love. Another wonderful and reflective read! 4 ½ Stars
