In The Sweet By and By

In The Sweet By and By, Sara Evans, along with the help of Rachel Hauck, brings us a wonderful story of how a future can be made bright by the choices we make in the present regarding the past. In this account, a young bride to be, Jade, comes to terms with some events that happened in the past that she would rather no one in her new life would ever find out about. While her plans were to keep them hidden, God had another idea. He uses the people from her past and present to bring her to a new relationship with Him and mend some broken ties with those who have known her the longest. This is a heartwarming tale of the power of forgiveness. No matter how far you run, your choices will catch up with you someday, good and bad, and when they do, God is there with open arms waiting to grieve and celebrate. The Sweet By and By is well written in a fun format of bouncing between different times in multiple people’s lives. It keeps you wondering what exactly is Jade running from and will she ever come to terms with it and with her God.
