For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16-17

Mayla Strong has lost her job and has trouble understanding her Mother, so with her severance pay she is headed to Florida to see her Parental grandmother whom she has not seen in years as the grandmother and the mother does not get alone after Mayla's mother had her dad unplugged from all the machines that was keeping him alive.

She was enjoying her time in Florida when a teenage girl the sister of a young man that had died with AIDS.  Mayla had been friends with three gay men and was always at their place parting until she found Jesus.  Then she was trying to get it across to them that it was an abomination to live that kind of life. One had died and the other two lived in her apartment building.

She had no idea that the whole state of Kentucky would follow her to Florida or it seem so.  At first the teen girl ran away from home and found herself with Mayla, the teen was pregnant and wanting an abortion.  Mayla was trying to talk her out of this.  Then one of her gay friend got saved by the grace of God and the other one was so upset he had to drive to Florida to talk to Mayla.  

At first I though that I would not enjoy this as I do not like to read about gay people but this one turned out great as they gave their heart to God.  Virginia always comes up with some great stories.

This was sent to me by Kregel Publishing for my review
