Growing up, Ward Adamson was a typical young man: striving to date the cutest girl in school, advancing in his studies, and participating in his youth group. Although his dream had always been ordination as a pastor, Ward never forgot what his history teacher had told him: you should think about politics you could do something to help a change.

Years later, as a successful pastor at an ever-expanding parish, with a loving wife and grown children, he is content in his duties and life as the Reverend Ward Adamson. At the same time, he has closely watched as the American political system has changed. With more stringent rules regarding campaigning, and the elimination of the party system, anyone with passion can be president. And thats when his friend Dennis comes to speak to him regarding a new opportunity...

Will Ward give up his current congregation for a national following? What does a pastor, acting as president, have to offer a nation?

Not what I expected at all
Format: Paperback
Hmmm. So this is a good book. But I’m mad b/c I feel betrayed. The back of the book says it’s about Dannie, and how the night she gets engaged to her longtime boyfriend David, she falls asleep. And then she wakes up and spends one hour 5 years in the future. A different apartment, a different ring, a different man. “It’s a love story, but it is not the one you’re expecting”. Ok, so spoiler alert. If you’re planning to read the book, maybe you shouldn’t read this review and should just read the book as it’s meant to be read. But I would have liked a warning. This is a story about friendship. Dannie and Bella have been best friends since they were 7. While Dannie is conservative and loves to plan, Bohemian Bella flies by the seat of her pants and goes where the wind takes her. They are so different, but are twin souls. And I think the story of their friendship would have been enough. But instead, I was told it was a love story about a woman and two potential men. And I was definitely not warned that this would be a crying book, but the last 20 pages had me just over misty. Overall, this was not the book I thought I’d be reading. And while it was good, I feel like I’ve been tricked and I’m mad about it.

well written
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed reading this story. It kept my attention and I read the book in a couple of days. The end was a bit unexpected, which is a good thing. The story itself was a little slow at times and I didn’t feel that drawn to the characters. I also wish I had known that it would be a bit sad.

Great Book!
Format: Paperback
I am not a big reader (but I wish I was! Too restless) so when a friend suggested this book to me, I wasnt sure I'd be able to start (or finish it) to my surprise, I loved it and finished it in a weekend. Now I am on to her other books! Great read! (Even for us non readers) :)
