How do you deal with stress? Some people eat, some like to exercise. Some set rules in an attempt to control their environment. Jesus told us that we shouldn’t worry, that worry doesn’t accomplish anything. Then he reminded us of how much the Father cares for us. We should be continually casting our burdens on Him. . .

Of all the quirky habits she could have, Willow had an addiction to buying housewares. Whenever stress got the better of her, she visited one of her favorite online stores and shopped. Although this actually makes sense due to her feeling that she needed a place to belong. A home. She also struggled with a need to be perfect and in control.

Corbin was nothing if not determined. When Willow set up ground rules for their living in the same town, he determined to break them all. Which made for some very humorous moments. After he had spent time with her, he knew he needed to channel his determination towards winning her back. His love and care for his father touched me deeply, especially after I learned about the difficulties they had faced in his childhood.

Falling for You shows so much insight into human nature. The things that motivate us, the fears we face, and the difficulties we have in accepting forgiveness. The message of salvation comes through clearly as as other spiritual truths that are so important for us to accept so that we can walk in freedom.

While there are some discussions about temptation and serial murders, the story is quite clean and appropriate for teens as well as adults.
