The Legacy By Dan Walsh and Gary Smalley



One young man is about to discover the true cost of independence
For years, Doug Anderson has been drifting slowly but steadily away from both his family and his faith. His parents have been trying to reach him before he falls too far. His friend Christina hopes what she is seeing online isn't true. But sometimes you have to hit bottom before you're ready to grow up.
Just as things begin to settle down a bit, Doug's life takes a turn that requires every bit of faith and patience for both his family and Christina--whose growing feelings for Doug, a man who writes her off as not worth his time, keep her off balance. Will Doug's crisis finally clear his vision and help him focus on what he has right in front of him?

What a fantastic end to this series. I never put this book down until the last page and then I was so sad that it ended.
Doug and Christina  are the best characters they are like friends to me. I felt a connection to them right off the bat.
This was such a fantastically written book, it was so easy to connect with the story, it was so real. An emotional read that will have you from page one!
I gave this book 5 stars two times. I HIGHLY recommend this whole series.

If God brings you to it he will see you through it. This book is a reminder of that. Can both people in a marriage see that and believe that? 
 This is what I call life changing fiction.
A must read book. One that you will NOT be able to put down.
How can two men write such an emotional love story?
Dan and Gary have done it again. I plan to read this  Restoration series again.  I could not put the book down, I had to know if it was going to end well.
A fantastic book about  relationships and how God should be the head of every couple.
You will not read another book this year like this one! I LOVED it!!
