A love letter life - Jeremy & Audrey Roloff

I started reviewing books in the twenty-sixteen, unfortunately the first book I read and reviewed, I have no recollection of what the book was about or the title.

After moving, I neglected reading books until last year when It was compulsory for me to read a book in order to pass a course, (the whole course was based on the book), I know, easy pass right?

One of these days I will post my final thoughts that I submitted. And I did pass the course in case you were wondering.

After this experience, I consciously made it an effort to read more books this year. By far, I fell short of my goals but I am still proud of how well I have performed based on my pervious disposition about books.

This year I embarked on a journey of intentional singleness— it is the most nerve wrecking experience I have been through, nevertheless, I will discuss this in full details in a future post. This journey has allowed me to look at relationships with a new mindset. It has been saddled with awareness, growth and a lot of prayers.

One of the things that propelled my awareness in this area is reading books. I was in the book store when ‘A Love Letter Life’ called at my name— legit, Adunni pick me up!!!!. I absolutely love anything that has to do with love letters (Future Husband, start saving for a very big box to store the letters you will receive, lol), so I picked this up and was ready to get tips on how to do cute stuffs in relationship.

I was disappointed, however, I discovered hidden gems in this book. ‘A Love Letter Life’ had me in tears, laughter, screams, prayers and most especially speaking in tongues.

Enough of my unwarranted ranting and now to the reason why you are here.

Drumroll pleaseeeeeee :) I know, I am a little bit weird, maybe a lot too

This book uncovers the journey to marriage of two couples and how they pursued each other creatively, intentionally, and faithfully. Their relationship started as a long distance relationship, which most people dread (I completely understand). However, they were determined to choose each other even despite the initial heart-crushing, ugly-crying break up, distance, popularity and many other hiccup that they face in their relationship.

This book provides a lot of practical and biblical wisdom on how to navigate relationships and working intentionally towards building a forever-lasting marriage. The wisdoms that struck me are having pre-marital counselling immediately after getting engaged and application of Boundaries, Rhythms and Prayers (BRP) for the protection of your marriage. If you want more information on how the BRP works, try an grabbbb a copy.

I cannot do enough justice reviewing this book, I might just end up rewriting the book because every single detail is importance.

If you are planning on pursuing someone with marriage in view. Invest in that relationship by reading this book or/and other books on relationship. Do not go unprepared, you might as well run out the same way you ran in. Finally, stay grounded in the word of God and develop intimacy with God.

I still have faith that there are people who are ready to make marriage work and portray Christ’s love are still out there.

I pray for everyone who wants to preach the gospel to the world through their marriage, God will teach you to become like him in every way, through this transformation, the world will become a better place. When we face him at eternity, we will receive a ‘well done you good and faithful servant.‘

Love,

Adunni
