Kari Montgomery was a 28 year old associate professor of history at a local university; her cousin, Emily, was marrying her fiancé, John, at the Grace Community Church, and Kari was to be the maid of honor. However, ‘A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To Your Wedding, Emily’ and she was not only running late, but soaking wet. Kari got lost going to the church, dropped her book, Pride and Prejudice, and met a man who offered to help her. He picked up her book, offered to take her to the church, and when she refused, he gave her his umbrella. Although she thought he was great looking, she was not interested in any man. However, when she found out that he was the Youth Pastor at the church and was performing Emily and John’s wedding, she was taken aback!

Kari had a strong faith in the Lord, but she was unable to surrender one area of her life to Him—that of her future mate. Geoffrey had disappointed her and, after she broke off their engagement, she was scared. The fact that, even though he was already engaged again, he still continued to “hit upon” Kari.

As you can probably tell, Ms. Green’s characters are solid and embraceable; there are many and they are diverse. Conversely, they drew me into the story and did not let go. It is easy to imagine myself in a setting, such as a church, where I could function within this marvelous group of people! Ms. Green has presented a story with enough Gospel woven into it that anyone could believe; this is done, however, in a non-offensive manner. I highly recommend this work to anyone! Congratulations to you, Ms. Green, for this winner!
