Description
Dear Mom and Pop, Two days ago we all spent the afternoon in palm trees. One of the village dogs broke his leash and treed the whole community. The dog is mean, but I have managed to form a cautious relationship with him by feeding him scraps from our table, and jelly beans ... I hope candy doesn't hurt a dog; it hasn't hurt this dog, I can assure you. I know you're wondering about Sam ... I love him with all my heart, but sometimes love isn't enough. Love always, Johanna Librarian Johanna Holland likes her simple life in Saginaw, Michigan. So why is she standing in the middle of the New Guinea Jungle? Johanna is simply aghast at the lack of hot showers and ... well ... clothing! She is positive the mission field is most certainly not God's plan for her life, but will that mean letting go of the man she loves? Warm and whimsical, Monday Morning Faith will take you on a spiritual journey filled with depth and humor.… (more)

I enjoyed this romance because for a while I wasn’t sure how it was going to end and I could easily relate to the characters and it had a nice message besides.
I liked the humor and not so funny take on Johnanna's experience in New Guinea. We were kindred spirits as she describes the whole journey, from the airplane ride to the hut she lives in. She made me laugh and also made me see, like her, that it is easy to say you would give it all up to serve Jesus, but when you actually do, the whole attitude problems set in. I understood this woman completely and is was a joy to read this book. Sam was a loveable and understanding man and I appreciated him and the way he understood and handled Johanna's moods. An all around enjoyable and thought provoking story.
