She sat next to him as he flipped to the first book in the New Testament and began scouring the pages until he found the 22nd chapter. She didn't miss the slight fingershake as he located the 14th verse.

His warm hand stays at my back and I can feel his body keep me close. I nod and listen to his heart again. Worry suddenly starts to ruin this beautiful moment and I whisper, "What will happen if there's something wrong? What if your faith isn't strong enough?" Tyler's eyes soften at this and his thumb tenderly rubs my cheek. "I'm not afraid of what's to come. I have you." "I'm not as strong as you are." "That's what you think. You are much stronger. I can see it in you, city girl." I smile at this but my heart isn't convinced. He doesn't know what I've been through. He doesn't know how weak I can be. How much of a coward I am. But I promise myself that this time I'm not that woman. I'm his. I can't just run away from my problems like I've done all my life. He needs me no matter what happens. So I'll stay against his chest; listening to his heart until it no longer makes its beautiful melody.Complete

Life can be best described as a maze. Just when you think you have it all figured out, you find yourself right in the middle of nowhere, and when you are fixated on your version of what the route should be, you are forced to retrace your steps. And that also is the best way to describe the intertwined fate of Jophiel, who believes her perception of God is the truth, and Zadkiel, who believes he has it all figured out when it comes to God and can lead every other person to him. However, they find themselves in situations that challenge everything they've come to know about God, and are forced to retrace their steps and find a new route. Will they discover a new dimension of God, or will they discover the wholeness of him in the fragments of their perceptions? *** ** *** ** *** #Book1 in the "Kingdom" seriesComplete
