This book really shows what God can do in one's life. Eric and Leslie both had gone down destructive romantic paths before meeting each other and developing a loyal friendship, which turned into a chaste romance. (They did not even kiss until they had said their vows.) I loved the part where Eric proposes to Leslie--it is so romantic and pure. If you're looking for a real love story, buy "When Dreams Come True"--And read it 'til your face turns blue! (yes, I know, I'm not good at rhymes.)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE (ok, I absolutely devoured it) precisely because it is not a preachy book. More importantly, though, WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE made me want to emulate Eric Ludy.
Eric and Leslie longed to be together. Until their wedding day, however, they were focused on being used by God in whatever way He wanted to use each of them. Eric was focused on missions and on a teaching job. Leslie was focused on being an encouragement to the women around her.
While WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE is not a how-to book, it does show readers that it is possible for two sweethearts to be focused more on their respective relationships with Jesus Christ than on each other. To those readers who are asking how we can be focused more on Jesus than on the person in whom we are romantically interested, I recommend the prequel to WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE (which is titled When God Writes Your Love Story). Just in case you are wondering, the prequel to WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE isn't a how-to book, either.

When you wait on God, dreams really do come true.
