Commitment to Love
Author: Jerry B. Jenkins, Deanna McClary

When young Deanna Fowler met and married Patrick Cleburn "Clebe" McClary III, she felt as though she'd found her own Prince Charming. It seemed the Southern beauty queen and the handsome 'man's man' would live happily ever after. — The Clebe decided to serve his country and the couple found themselves half-a-world apart as he fought in Vietnam. K... more »nowing that every day could be his date with death, Deanna silently wondered if he would ever come back alive. Her fears were justified when Clebe returned barely holding on to life, his body riddled with shrapnel. A hostile grenade attack had severed his left arm and blown out an eye.

Deanna was to become involved with every aspect of his rehabilitation. From that day on, simple tasks such as buttoning a button, tying a shoelae, or cutting up food would have to be done with a helping hand-Deanna's hand. Her love would be put to the test.

How Deanna and Clebe chose to deal with their tragedy will cause you to take a second look at your own marriage. Commitment to Love follows Deanna's determinatin to have a normal marriage and family life despite the obstacles. As in any marriage, there were times when the taking outweighed the giving and misunderstandings could have driven a deep wedge in their relationship. But Deanna shows that in this age of "quick fixes, speedy divorces, and instant answers to life's most difficult questions...it's the tough choice, the careful solution, the lengthy, agonizing struggle, that produces the most beautiful results." There is a need to slow down and seek God's help in coping with the inevitable blows of life.
