The Meeting Place

Jeanette and Davis are a great team and they have crafted a story which reaches the hearts of many readers of different faiths! God's love is bigger than doctrine or dogma. It seems many writers have heard the whisper of God urging us tell stories which embrace one another in spite of differences. Keep up the great writing! This is a powerful message and much needed!

I have been a collector of Janette Oke's books since her first books were published. I haven't read any of her co-authored books until this one. I loved her other books so well I was afraid the co-authored books wouldn't be as good. I was wrong! I loved this book and like the other reviewers, can't wait to get my hands on the sequel. I am ready to go out and buy her other co-authored books to add to my collection now. I would recommend any of Janette Oke's books.

I have read many Janette Oke books, but this was, by far, the best. It means nothing to me about historical accuracy, but another reviewer was absolutely right when she said that it's a story about how racism and hatred can hurt innocent people. But God's love was shown beautifully through 2 women of different cultures. This book had more quality storyline than any previous books by the same author. The only down side was the book ended and I was left crying my eyes out! I would certainly hope that Janette Oke & T Davis Bunn will write a sequel!

This book is outstanding on many levels. I was engaged from the first chapter and couldn't put it down. Entertaining and thought provoking at the same time. I love to read and I honestly don't remember the last time I was so fully engaged in a story-one with characters and a plot that was as worthwhile as in "The Meeting Place." As for those few who think Louise should have been Catholic for historical accuracy, I fully disagree. Far better than tolerating differences, the two women in this story have a friendship and a relationship with God that transcends the boundaries of Catholicism and Protestantism...The "treasure" to be found within this remarkable story is an understanding of the value of trusting in a loving God who is sovereign and loves us all.

I loved the storyline, but I also was really drawn into the characters, and almost felt as if they were friends of mine. I identified deeply with the two ladies, and I felt their conflicts. I've read all of Janette Oke's books, and all of their combined efforts, and this one touched my heart the most.
