The Desire By Dan Walsh And Gary Smalley





For two years, Allen and Michele have been trying to have a baby. For Michele, it has become an obsession. But Allen seems content to spend his time--and their money--saving orphans in Africa. As Michele researches their options for fertility treatments, she begins to resent Allen's divided attention. And yet, God has a plan for Allen and Michele that they could never have imagined. All it takes to set it in motion is a change of heart . . .With a keen eye toward the give-and-take of the marriage relationship, along with the ability to weave an engaging story, Dan Walsh and Gary Smalley show readers what it is to have godly desire and show selfless love. Fans will love this heartwarming story.

I love The Restoration series so much! This just may have been my favorite one so far. It was a very touching and heartwarming story. The characters have become like family and with each new book in the series you learn more and more an fall in love with them all.
I fell in love with Michele and her story, I felt her hurt and in the end I felt her happiness.
I can't wait to read the next book in the series The Legacy  and hear Christina's story.
You do NOT want to miss this book, I gave it 5 stars two times. I highly recommend it.
I was given a copy of this book  by the publisher for my  honest review.
