Forever and Always tells of the ups and downs of the freshly discovered love of a young couple, Patricia Heifelmeyer and John McDougal, at the end of the Civil War. The location of the book is New Orleans Parish, the year of our Lord 1864. The war was almost over.

By now, the entire eating area of the cabin was engulfed in flames, which were quickly making their way to the door. If they didn’t get out soon, there would be no chance of escape. Sparks flew everywhere; the heat was intense, the smoke blinding.

"We can do it, Johnny," Trish said reassuringly, hoping that he didn’t hear the terror in her voice. Holding the twins tightly, covering their faces with a blanket from the bed, the four of them began their walk of terror through the fiery cabin to the safety awaiting them outside. Johnny didn’t have to be told to hold on to his mother’s skirt; he wasn’t about to let go. Slowly, carefully, they walked the thin path to safety.

Love, laughter, learning, mystery, secrecy, and murder are all woven throughout the pages of this book. The American Civil War raged from 1861 until 1865 and claimed more than 600,000 lives. Is John McDougal among their number?

The premise of Spiritual Liaisons is simple: asking God to help as a matchmaker during the conduct of your relationship search. The book is anecdotal, in that it’s all about the author and his wife, who developed a relationship while online dating, using Christian websites. The chronology of events for the couple is non-specific; however, basic guidelines, advice, struggles, triumphs, pitfalls, and common-sense protocols will enable the reader to digest and implement the material, which will hopefully culminate in a Christ-centered dating process and possibly marriage.
