"Not the One You Had in Mind," said the Lord by Gail D. Bentley

I came to know Gail professionally in late January of 2013 as she traveled to Maine to train myself (and 30 others) on a job. Over two months, I came to know this wonderful woman of God, and have finally gotten a chance to read her book. I will preface this with a few things: Gail was called upon by God to write this book, and admitted to me she is not a big fan of reading or writing in general. It's also self-published. I bring these things up because this was a labor of love on her part, and editing was not done  by a big corporate publishing firm prior to print, so there are a few errors.

The message presented-- and very candidly so-- is a clear and concise guide for anyone of the Christian faith who is wondering when that special someone will come into their life. Gail tells the story of her own rebirth into Christianity and the path she took which eventually guided her to her husband. Well-researched with relevant passages from the King James version of the Bible, "Not the One You Have in Mind" is written for the person who may not enjoy reading but is  seeking a guide to find their one true spouse. At only 90 pages, it is a quick read, which allows the reader to stay engaged, and for more avid readers, an easy opportunity to re-read and absorb the messages within.
