I read this book after xH's first affair ... and I dont' remember exactly ... but Elijah names his life ... after reading the book, I wrote in the first page "If I have to name my life, I would call it Perseverance " </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">No I haven't read that but it sounds pretty interesting. I think that's really amazing what you wrote in the cover. That's been a word that has come to mean a lot to me as I've walked along side of Lost while trying to keep my own pain and struggles seperate.

That's what I'd want it to be remembered as.

Fluke,
At the time of xH's first affair, I didn't have any idea about MB ... I only read "After the Affair" but wanted to read something different.
For me, it is amazing how God is always with us ALL the time.

A friend of mine is a fan of Paulo Coehlo's work so when I was looking for something else to read, I picked that one, no other thinking, swa the book and bought it ...
It is the story from Paulo's POV of the Prophet Elijah ... and even though it is not about affairs, it is about making decisions in life with the situations we have to deal with that would not have been our choices ...

There is also a part in the book that Elijah talks to God about how angry he was with him ...

The book touched me in a lot of ways. When I finished the book, I felt in peace. And that's what I wrote ...

I agree with you Mily. It IS amazing how God never leaves us. What always gets me is how willing we are to leave God behind.

I'm really interested in that book. I think a trip to the bookstore is in order this weekend. Woohoo!

As much as I know God never intended things to go this way for me and Flukette the bottom line is what can we do with what we have NOW? That's always the test I guess. You are where you are - but where are you going from here?

I look forward to the book. Thanks for the heads up! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
