Life is good. She has a loving husband and a new home. But there&#8217;s one dream that remains just out of reach. When she left a high-profile advertising agency to pursue her dreams of having a family, Serena never imagined that the stress of her husband&#8217;s pastorate and their desire to follow God&#8217;s will might delay their dreams of becoming parents. And when a dear friend makes a life-altering decision to leave an abusive relationship, Serena knows she has to help. Will she have to postpone her dreams forever? Or will she hear God&#8217;s still, small voice and realize his plan for her? Nothing But the Right Thing is a heartwarming novel that explores the journey of faith, friendship, and the power of prayer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ceceliadowdy.com\">~Cecelia Dowdy~<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing But The Right Thing by Stacy Hawkins Adams This book was fantastic!
