Wondering if true love still exists?
We believe that true love, real freedom, and authentic identity can be found only in the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
And we know that God still writes the best love stories.
The stories are as varied as the people they represent. Different life experiences, different mistakes, different families, different callings. It’s marvelous to hear all the many ways that the Lord works. He is the author of love and our love stories are unique expressions of His heart. Part of the beauty of reading love stories is experiencing the many differences in them. Some may seem similar from a distance, but when you look up close, every story is unique. Which means, if you have a love story, it will be unlike any that you’ve ever read before—because it will be yours. Don’t read stories looking for the one you want, because you’ll never find the one you will get. Just enjoy them for their variety, for their beauty.

Love Stories: a collection from Kindred Grace
“Not if he was the last man on earth!”
God’s hand working through all the details
a foundation of radical faith
I think it started with the cookies…
I always knew he’d come back.
God took something that was meant for evil…
With no hesitation.
Like at first sight.
two kinds of hope
“just stopping by to say hi”
“What brought you to the area?”
Unexpected Grace
What if you could have your faith restored in a God Who still delights in making dreams come true?
I am always encouraged to read or hear of a love story that truly reflects God's fingerprint, His perfect timing, and the evidence of God in each of the individual's lives. Love stories that were not manipulated or brought about by human scheming; each detail was obviously constructed by our Creator. Love stories that are a picture of Christ continually wooing and winning His bride; loving us when we least deserve it and accepting all of the ugly. Love stories in which the man desires to lead and the woman wants to be led and loved like the church. It helps me to believe that the kind of dreams and prayers that we all should have are not too big.

"God was slowly just using a bunch of different things to convict me that I had a certain script laid out for how [my love story] was going to go. He just impressed upon me the need to hold my hand more openly and not decide how it was going to look like and how it was going to go—that I would not be so quick to judge and so quick to determine [my husband] was or wasn’t him."
(Lisa Jacobson in "Are You Ready for a Real-Life Love Story?")
