Interview w/author of Broken Heart on Hold

April 8, 2008 | family, interviews

separatedLinda W. Rooks is the author of Broken Heart on Hold, a book for women separated from their husbands. I interviewed Linda and this is what she had to say. . . 

 Suzie: I haven’t seen many Christian books dealing with the issue of separation. What prompted you to write this book?

Linda: This book came from my own experience. My husband and I were separated for three years back in the nineties. It was a heart-wrenching, lonely time. I needed emotional and spiritual support, but didn’t know where to find it. I went to Christian bookstores looking for a devotional book that was gutsy and real enough to help me through this devastating time, but I found nothing that would help. (more…)

Will you marry me?

The answer is yes!

The answer is yes!

 just after he proposed and slipped the ring on her fingerWhile I was in ICRS, I received a fun phone call. Ryan, my son, had just proposed at 1,000 feet to his beautiful girlfriend, Kristin, in a hot air balloon.

She’s beautiful. She’s kind. She loves the Lord, and she loves ryanandkristenengaged2.jpgmy son. How cool is that?

It’s a gift, getting to open your heart and family to another person.

Welcome, Kristin, to the Eller family. We love you.

On a personal note, with one wedding just completed (Leslie’s), Ryan and Kristin are planning theirs for next March. We’ve always done everything in threes. That’s what happens when you have twins when your oldest is still one year old. This is proposal and wedding number three for us–all in just over two years.

But the reality is that I’m blessed. As a cancer survivor of almost 16 years, I’ve been able to be a part of all three of my children’s weddings, and that’s a gift of incredible portion.
