It is time for a FIRST Wild Card Tour book review! If you wish to join the FIRST blog alliance, just click the button. We are a group of reviewers who tour Christian books. A Wild Card post includes a brief bio of the author and a full chapter from each book toured. The reason it is called a FIRST Wild Card Tour is that you never know if the book will be fiction, non~fiction, for young, or for old…or for somewhere in between! Enjoy your free peek into the book!
You never know when I might play a wild card on you!

A husband and wife are driving down a country road. They’re a few years older than you are now. He’s behind the wheel. The pavement and cornfields are passing by. She breaks the silence with a sigh and says, “Remember when we were younger and we used to sit right next to each other in the car?” “I remember,” the husband replies after a moment. “But you know, I haven’t moved.”
“Love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away.”
My Opinion:
While I am not a husband, obviously, I am a wife so I thought it’d be neat to see what a man thought we, ladies need. Honestly, at first I wasn’t sure but he had a lot of information to tell the fellow husbands out there – and yes, most of the 52 things were spot on. I wish my husband would read the book, but the chances of that are slim as books seem to sap his strength like kryptonite does to Superman – but I digress. I’m glad this is on my shelf though in case my husband wants to know some things he could do for me.
