Publisher's Synopsis
Brenda Moody's inspiration for writing The Second Time Around was her whirlwind courtship and an emotional one-year marital experience. She described it as being at the hands of a mentally controlling man who was not committed to the relationship or marriage. Her then-husband, through his own admission to her, made the decision to no longer honor the marital vows by turning his attention to other women. As a result of his confession, Brenda found herself in a world of emptiness, in a world of loneliness, and in a world of being unloved. Until one day, her father, who was grounded in the Lord, shared a revelation that God had given him for her. Through godly wisdom, he knew what his daughter was going through and what she had endured through the one-year marriage. He revealed to her, before God called him home, that it was going to be better the second time around.
One week later, the revelation was revealed when God sent her the man her father had envisioned--a man who had the same faith and belief in God that she had. He helped her by showing her what the tenderness of real love and affection was all about. He showed her what honor, commitment, and devotion looked like in a relationship and in a marriage. He showed her a new beginning to her life--a beginning of a love that has expanded over forty-one years of marriage and is still going strong. Brenda thanks God every night for giving them to each other! She thanks the Lord for a new beginning! She thanks the Lord for the second time around!
