[3 PARTS in 1 BOOK] Fara Oxford once lived a life wishing that there was a God who could light up her world and save her from despair in just a blink of an eye-only to find herself still stuck in hopelessness and misery, which led to her disappointment in their so-called God. Her father fulfills a long-forgotten wish by arranging her marriage to a man from a family friend, Storm Dylan Hunt, whose fame shifted from being an idol to a seasoned apologist of the Christian faith. For Fara, who walks the line between belief and unbelief, she knows he would never marry a non-Christian like her. So she's forced to play a role she doesn't truly understand, just to find a way into his world-unaware that her choice will spark a quiet disaster that could shatter their lives. How high is the price of a marriage that is unequally yoked? Part of BELIEVERS SERIES Language: Filipino/English Copyrights ⓒ Misty Matic 2018
