Josefa Ferrer, a famous Chilean singer and star, awakens one morning to read in the Santiago newspaper that her best friend, Violeta, has been involved in a brutal act of violence. Overwhelmed with regret and plagued with guilt for not having foreseen the tragedy, Josefa feels compelled to tell Violeta's life story--one marked by lost ideals, disillusionment, and grief--which is ultimately Josefa's story, too. Through the interwoven lives of these two women, Marcela Serrano explores how the demands of a woman's role as mother, wife, lover, and friend are frequently at odds with her own dreams and aspirations, and how easily the fragile bonds of friendship and family can be strained to the breaking point. For Josefa and Violeta, it is only in Antigua, under the watchful eyes of "the others"--a chorus of female ancestral spirits who testify to the women's defining moments of strength and courage--that Josefa and Violeta will discover that even in the aftermath of violence and betrayal they have control over their destinies and their redemption. Exquisitely crafted and written in beautiful, lyrical prose, Marcela Serrano's unforgettable novel about friendship, forgiveness, and second chances speaks to every woman who has experienced the wrenching divide between professional ambition and family responsibility, who has been torn between the excitement of illicit passion and the security of marriage, who has craved the thrill of success while yearning for solitude in an often chaotic, invasive world.Binding Type: Paperback

For marriage or for life?
Format: Paperback
My fiancé and I bought this book through the recommendation of a friend. We really enjoyed going through this book together as Mr. and Mrs. Chan discuss the importance of Christianity not only in marriage but also in our day to day lifestyles. Before starting "You and Me Forever," my fiancé and I had recently finished "The Meaning of Marriage" by Tim Keller, which I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in getting a fundamental view on marriage in the light of the gospel. Both books are similar in the aspect of this topic, however, "You and Me Forever" was a great book to read because it was not a overly saturated religious book about marriage. This book really challenges the readers to live to not only think of marriage in the light of the gospel but also their daily lives.
So many marriage books are just that, marriage books. Do this, do that, and you will have a successful marriage. This book is unique in the sense of really pushing the reader to dig deeper in their spiritual life. Encouraging the growth in their heart rather than just biblically saturated "go to advice" for a better or stronger marriage.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone, whether you are married, single, young or old. This book gives a great view of what your marriage, life, and heart should look like in the light of eternity!

Most important marriage book
Format: Paperback
This book is excellent and a must read for every Christian who’s married. This draws our attention off ourselves and even a “great marriage” and focuses our attention and eyes on CHRIST and the mission He gave us.

It's a beautiful, God-exalting
Format: Hardcover
Still reading this with my wife and meeting up to go over the questions. It's a beautiful, God-exalting, Christ-centered view of marriage and how we are joined together for the mission of God, not just to stare at each other.
An analogy that I always like to use (and I came up with one day randomly) was that my marriage is like a wedding cake. Sure, we bought the cake. Sure, we eat the first slice (and feed each other). But, if that cake doesn't get shared and enjoyed by the people around us, it's not serving it's purpose. In marriage, yes, we serve and love each other first, as is right, but if our marriage is only for us, then I believe we aren't using it the way God intended.
I love Francis and Lisa Chan and this is a great book - not on how to have a great marriage, but how to view marriage in light of eternity and fuel us towards gospel-driven, God-honoring mission. We have only been married two years, but I see now that God is calling us to more, and we want to honor God in all that we do. I will recommend this book to others, but only once I finish the book. I'll update later with a more comprehensive review.

Excellent Snack but price a bit high

I do not know how they make these things. But Daisy really loves them. Been buying them for a few years now and they still don't go down in price.

I Received the Old, Outdated Product
Pattern Name: Strip, Size: 10 Packs (Box)
I have been buying these strips for years and my dog loves them so much that they are the ONLY treat he will eat. I ordered a 10 lb. box that arrived 5/14/26 and received old, brown-labeled product that he won’t touch. I had a white-labeled package left from my past order and he will eat those but not the old, most recently received ones. Thankfully, Amazon issued a refund, but I am hesitant to purchase these again.
