First Love (Tombstone Treasures, book 2)

By Michelle Sutton

Description:

Josiah and Tara had enjoyed acting in their high school plays. They had also been each others first lover... in fact; most of the time they'd spent together had been in Tara's bed. When Josiah became a Christian, he left Tara to go to college and didn't look back.

Four years later, Josiah is back in town when his father has a near-fatal heart attack. When they meet up again they realize how much their separation had hurt each of them. But now Tara is a Christian and is trying to live a life that is pleasing to God.

Josiah wants Tara back, but neither knows how to relate to each other without the physical intimacy they once shared. They are determined to do things right this time, but find it more challenging than they'd anticipated.

Book Takeaway:

Even if you have messed up your life in the past, you can be obedient to God now, but you need to keep God involved in your relationships or they will suffer and you could stray.

Why the author wrote this book:

To show how difficult it can be to honor God with your behavior when you dated and were intimate in the past prior to finding faith in Christ, and what it might look like if you try to date that person again.
