OUR GOD RESTORES--HIS LOVE REIGNS!!!:
I started reading this book on a Sunday after it was recommended to all of the women of my church by our Pastor's wife as the August reading. I thought, I will take my time and read it. Once I started, I could not stop, I finished it the same day. I am still a newlywed (married 2 years) and I want my marriage to look like this! It took this tragedy & pain to get where God wanted them to be. I will take heed not to be off guard and think adultery could never happen to us, and guard my heart and PRAY that my husband and I can know each other and GOD the way Bob & Audrey do. It was BRAVE & AWESOME how they BOTH let GOD take-over after they LET IT GO. It was awesome to see the LOVE in the body of Christ that poured out to them. It was LOVE & wisdom & counsel & obedience & sacrifice that helped them walk that narrow path to restoration. Their story will minister to me for the rest of my life and to so many others who will never take this path and to so many who already have.

Very, Very Insightful!:
This book creates an awareness for all married couples out there that no matter how saved you are or how solid your relationship is, you are still susceptible to the various wiles of the enemy and one has to be prayerful. It also shows that God is indeed a God of full, complete and total restoration. Any family that thinks that they cannot recover from adultrey is wrong. You can with God's help. That is what this book reveals.

God's Grace and Redemption:
Marriage Undercover: Thriving in a Culture of Quiet Desperation by Bob and Audrey Meisner tells a beautiful story of sin, sorrow, forgiveness, love and and how all this affects one family's life. I thought the book was too long and full of many repetitions. Bob's whining all the way through did not help either. Audrey is the real hero of the story. Yes, she made a mistake, and she too seems to lament it far too many times, but she was dealing with some stubborn reactions from her husband. I congratulate her for continuing in the marriage under rather harsh circumstances. I heard Bob and Audrey tell this story on the radio some weeks ago and that is why I wanted to read the book. Their broadcast was simpler than their writing style and it truly was a great program. I think they do better under the pressure of time blocks. Despite my criticism, there were some really wonderful passages in this book, especially I thought what was said about forgiveness, God's unconditional love, and the honest way Audrey approached her problem was just excellent and I do believe this book will be a sign of encouragement for many other couples who are suffering in our culture of quiet desperation.
