Say Yes to the Love Story of Your Life. A great romance was set in motion before you were born. A relentless Lover is pursuing you, and He has made His intentions clear. He wants you to be His forever. How will you respond to the One who longs for you to be His with your whole heart?
In Spoken For, Robin Jones Gunn and Alyssa Joy Bethke speak to your heart about what it means for you to belong to Christ, who you are because of His love, and how that affects the way you live. Drawing on biblical promises and their personal experiences, these two friends share what it’s like to live out God’s unfolding love story.
You are not up for grabs. You are spoken for.

I loved this one. This was a sweet and touching book that will surely make you think about you and your life, if not completely change it. If you've read any of Robin's books, you know that she has a knack for writing deep, touching stories. And this may be Alyssa's first book, but I think she did an excellent job.

These were the chapter titles in this book, and the topics that Gunn and Bethke cover. Each chapter was filled with such truth and honesty. I loved the personal anecdotes from each of them. They were candid and honest, and each put so much of themselves into this book, and it shows. Their personalities shone through, and you will laugh and cry as you read along with their experiences.

This book has an amazing message that, frankly, I think all young (and even not-so-young) girls need to hear. It is so relevant, in today's culture and with the things that teens face, and this book is exactly the light in a dark world that young girls need.

I received a free copy from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
