Summary: Fall in Love with Christ
Review: I love all of Gene Edwards books. The first of his books that I read was."A Tale of Three Kings" I read it at a time when I very much needed to read a book like it. I was becoming vey disappointed with my pastor. This book made me view at him from a diffenent angle. A more gentle and forgiving angle. It has continued to help me to have a more Christ like attitude. The problems are still there, but I realise we all have some King Saul in us. A Tale of Three Kings had a profound effect on my life.
"The Divine Romance" was GREAT. I fell in love all over again!!!!
IT WILL BE AN ALL TIME CLASSIC. WORDS CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS BOOK.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic, Excellent !!!!!
Review: I read this book several times and each time I saw something new. If you love God, you will love this book. I recommended to a few friends and bought it for another and they all were in awe. I would read this book again and again. It is well written and reminds me why I became a Christian.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: God loves you!!
Review: I recommended this book to several people and the response was always, "wow!" I believe I read this book approximately 12 years ago. I can still recall the first chapter. I remember tears falling down my face as creation sinned in the garden and literally broke God's heart! If you ever want to feel what God felt or ever question your existence read this book. God loves his creation, He really does!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I was disappointed
Review: I was disappointed with this book. The angelic world he portrays has the same silly (arghh!!) as the "touched by an angel" television show.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally, the answer to "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?"
Review: I was given this book just after I received Jesus as my Saviour. I was able to see the whole picture through this book. Gene Edwards gave a wonderful vision of what actually happened at the Cross, for this I am forever grateful. I have given this book as gifts to many family members, friends and even strangers. In fact, I gave one to my husband, BEFORE he asked me to marry him.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent book of a love betrayed!
Review: Love story so beautiful that to read this is to know of God's love for us. Everyone should read this book, and know the pain that we have inflicted on our Beloved and yet He continues to love us. It is not to be believed. The symbolism in this book is extraordinary.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent book! I really almost gave it 5 stars...
Review: The Divine Romance was... well... um... divine! And, gosh, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because there's a few other favorite titles I've read that impacted me more intensely than this one in particular. I realize that this may make it seem I don't regard this book as a "hot" title, but nothing could be further from the truth. I really did almost give it 5 stars. This was a fantastic read and I highly recommend it to anyone, Christian or not!

Gene Edwards is a remarkable story teller and has the wonderful ability to draw the reader into reality through fiction. I don't know how else to put it. The Divine Romance is a fictional story (based completely on the reality of spirit life) about the creation of the world and God's intent for man from before the world was made. It illuminates a most spectacular description of the bride of the Lord Jesus Christ and God's romantic passion for her. The reader in turn is drawn into a rich encounter with Christ that is far from fiction. I felt the Lord's presence immensly while reading this book. It made me want to pray and to cry and to get really serious about my relationship with Jesus.

Gene's account wholly gels with Scripture, but he uses his imagination which is sparked by his deep love for Jesus to paint this incredible picture for the believer to understand how God really views His children. If you're a biblically technical critic, you might struggle a bit with this book because it is largely Gene's imaginitive insights into the Scripture and the reality of Christian life, more than it is verbatim Scripture. I found it delightful, and though it is fiction, it's almost impossible to just shelf it as a mere fictional story because, in reality, Gene is telling the Gospel truth. This book will grip your heart and set it ablaze with an increased desire for more of Jesus. It will also, more than likely, make you discontent with your present spiritual condition and cause to grow hungrier for a more intimate relationship with God. It will also convict and stir your heart to be more mindful of your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ as you start to see them a the Lord's beautiful bride. The themes of grace and the romance of God for His people flood through the pages of this book.

Ok, I'm starting to feel guilty about my 4 star review (grin). Maybe it should have been five. This is a remarkable book! Worth reading indeed, as are any of Gene's books. Some of his titles have some controversial elements about them in that they do not necessarily encourage Christians to get all wrapped up in the "business" of doing church. Gene focuses on real, intimate, life-changing relationship with God and places this quest on the highest pedestal. Everything else is insignificant and pales in comparison to the mindset of becoming completely filled with God and completely dead to self and religion so that Christ can live His life through us... So that we can truly become that beautiful bride of Christ.

Ok... after all that, I'm starting to think 5 stars is a bit low. Please excuse me while I go read this book again. ;)

Summary: divine romance
Review: This book changed my life. Edwards did a masterful job of making the love of God.What better way to make His love tanglible than by using a human perpective to show divine romance. I love this book and have given it as a gift on numerous occasions. Read it and weep...and rejoice!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Author of Romance
Review: This book is so amazing. You know those times when you feel sort of distant from God? You know He is there, and you are trying to live by His word, but you just don't feel close to Him. When you get to that point, read this book. Everytime you feel this way, read it again. It makes you fall in love with our bridegroom all over again, deeply intimately in love.

Rating: 5 stars
