A Love Like Ours by Becky Wade

A Love Like Ours 

by Becky Wade   

Contemporary Romance
Bethany House  

Becky Wade has written another heart warming love story in the third installment of the Porter Family series.*

Former Marine Jake Porter has far deeper scars than the one that marks his face. He struggles with symptoms of PTSD, lives a solitary life, and avoids relationships.
When Lyndie James, Jake's childhood best friend, lands back in Holley, Texas, Jake cautiously hires her to exercise his Thoroughbreds. Lyndie is tender-hearted, fiercely determined, and afraid of nothing, just like she was as a child. Jake pairs her with Silver Leaf, a horse full of promise but lacking in results, hoping she can solve the mystery of the stallion's reluctance to run.
Though Jake and Lyndie have grown into very different adults, the bond that existed during their childhood still ties them together. Against Jake's will, Lyndie's sparkling, optimistic personality begins to tear down the walls he's built around his heart. A glimmer of the hope he'd thought he'd lost returns, but fears and regrets still plague him. Will Jake ever be able to love Lyndie like she deserves, or is his heart too shattered to mend?

*While this is the third book in a series, it is written as a standalone.

Here's my review of this wonderful novel:


First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Becky Wade and her publisher for sending me a copy of "A Love Like Ours" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me.

“A Love Like Ours” by Becky Wade is the third offering in the Porter Family Series.  Once again, Wade’s characters are thick and fleshy.  The focus on the horses in this book is quite a treat.  The topics of PTSD and Cerebral Palsy are handled gently and lovingly as they are woven through this beautiful love story.

Jake and Lyndie were inseparable as kids…until Lyndie’s parents moved the family to California.  Now they’re all grown up and Lyndie’s family has returned to Holley, Texas, but Jake and Lyndie have each lived through so much in their years apart.  Lyndie has developed her skills as a horsewoman and experienced lots of disappointment and Jake has been severely damaged in Iraq.  When they cross paths and Jake hires Lyndie to exercise his thoroughbreds, the attraction they had for each other when they were younger only seems to have grown stronger.

“A Love Like Ours” is a beautiful book.  It is full of tenderness and compassion.  I love how the story doesn’t completely let the reader down when things get rocky for the lovebirds (this is part of the contemporary Christian romance formula that I really dread when reading these books).  This is a great read!  I highly recommend it and look forward to reading more from Becky Wade.  She is one of those authors whose books automatically land on my keeper shelf.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...

Armor of God – Week One – Sizing Up The Enemy

Welcome to Boot Camp!   For the next seven weeks we will be training with our weapons (God’s Word and prayer) in preparation for the battle of our lives and the lives of others!   And we will be learning how to equip ourselves with the Armor of God. Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God Bible study is a MUST-DO for EVERY BIBLE STUDENT!   I don’t mean to shout, but I can’t emphasize this enough!!!   We are at war boys and girls.   And our enemy wants to keep us in the dark about that fact.   If he can convince us that he does not exist or that our God is not good or that we are not loved and treasured by the King and Creator of the Universe, he wins the battle.   But can I share something with you?   OUR ENEMY HAS ALREADY LOST THE WAR!!!!!   His time is short and he is grasping at anything we leave dangling in an attempt to drag us down.   So let’s not leave too much dangling. My church begins the Armor of God study tonight (9/9/15). ...
