Come My Beloved Remains in Top 100
CWG Vice President Ellen Hrkach’s Come My Beloved: Inspiring Stories of Catholic Courtship has remained a second week in Amazon Kindle’s Top 100 (Insipirational Books).
“But the really cool thing,” says Ellen about the exciting news, “is that my second novel, In Name Only, my Gold-medal winning novel, is now also in the top 100 (Religious Fiction) on the Amazon Kindle too!”
Come My Beloved is a compilation of twelve courtship/dating stories that celebrate faith and enduring love. Some of the stories include a widow with eight children meeting a widower with six children; an atheist falling in love with her Catholic Prince Charming; a sailor praying a novena to meet the right woman; and a man asking his live-in girlfriend a question unheard of in present-day society, “What if we stop having sex?”, and is greeted with tears of joy.
All the stories in Come My Beloved illustrate that God is the true matchmaker. A marital therapist, Amanda Marleau, says “Thank you so much for this wonderful gift! I love the balance of the stories between young and old. It remind me that there is no right way or right time to fall in love. This books is so important because it shows that couples still have the power to fight for purity, pursue holiness together and be united in God’s love.”
Lisa Hendey of CatholicMom.com felt “the couples featured offered us a diverse, inspirational and encouraging insights into many different paths toward and expressions of marriage… whether you’re courting, engaged, newlyweds, or celebrating your jubilee years together, this terrific resource offers something for anyone looking to grow closer to God and to one another…”
Other reviewers called Come My Beloved a “fabulous book” they “couldn’t put down” and a must-read for high school students to know their life-long partner can be found through “prayer and faith in God.”
