This novel adaptation is based on one of the most moving episodes from the television drama that is watched by over 24 million people every week, "Touched by an Angel." This new story in the paperback series offers a rare glimpse into the ancient country of China-and into the hearts of those who dream of freedom. At the beginning of the story, Tess tells Monica and Andrew, "The courage of a single person can change history. But only if they answer the call when it comes." When beautiful Jean Chang encounters entrepreneur Edward Tanner, it is a signal that a journey of freedom and divine timing is about to begin. But when Jean's past catches up with her, will the power and might of China keep them from meeting their destinies?

"God is the silent partner in all great enterprises." -- Abraham Lincoln "In the months before our wedding, I searched the shelves of my favorite bookstores for a wedding book that I never found: A book that would celebrate my joy and acknowledge my fears. A book that would be a silent friend that wouldn't overwhelm me with week-by-week checklists and endless pictures of table settings. . . . I knew that before I began organizing the most important event of my life, I needed to organize my heart." Inviting God to Your Wedding is not just about planning for an event. It's about preparing for a miracle. Written with honesty, wisdom, and humor by Touched By An Angel Executive Producer Martha Williamson, with a special chapter for men by her husband and Co-Executive Producer Jon Andersen, this inspiring book is a "wedding handbook" for your spirit and your soul. Funny, thought-provoking, and thoroughly useful, it is filled with ideas, suggestions, and commonsense advice that focus on the most important aspect of every wedding: the coming together of a man and a woman "in the sight of God." From wedding showers to the wedding night, this personal workbook will help create a three-way partnership with God from the start, one that will sustain couples in times of crisis as well as triumph and joy. Inviting God to Your Wedding will become an encouraging handbook of comfort, and celebration in the weeks and months before your wedding, and a treasured book of memories throughout your marriage.
