Jack had a strong and compassionate personality and people gravitated to him. Working his way to a sales position, he married the owner’s daughter. They bought the company and struggled to move it into new markets. After many years of hard work, the business was paying them back. When life seems as good as it can get, the doctor told them she is dying. He gave up the business to be with her. After her demise, Jack spent the next ten years looking for God and answers as he befriends four women. His secretary, daughter and four girlfriends tell of their life as they reveal touching story of Jack to the world. See how he affected their faith as he searched for God.
Jack doesn't need God for the first half of the book. His success in business and family sustains him as life gets better with every year. Then his beloved wife, Sarah passes quickly from cancer and it turns his life up side down. From a low point in his life, he begins a search for God. Along the way, he draws in four girlfriends into his search. They help him in his search and also find God in their lives. A couple readers compared it to Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom.
Please note, this book contains adult situations and I recommend readers eighteen and older.
Jack is a charismatic man with many faults and loved his wife very much. His heart remained with her even after her death. I find it interesting to see how his search for God's grace and love draws in the women who cared about him. It is refreshing to see women come to know God while helping Jack on his journey.
Chapter 2 by Katherine (Brown) Williams
Jack’s Daughter
John “Jack” Brown was my dad. I have always called him Dad and will remember him as Dad. Fathers can be anything, but dads are always loving, tender and sensitive even when they’re angry with you. No matter how angry Dad got or how much I disappointed him, a simple “LuvYa” would calm him down. His down-to-earth smile would transform my unpleasant mood and lift me from my doldrums. His irresistible smile was infectious, while his love for Mom and me was genuine.
