I Gave God Time

Plot

A love story . . . and more!
In Boston, Massachusetts, young woman was writing in one of the books she had authored,
"Jesus, if this is Your will, then Yes to being single. In my deepest heart, I want to marry, to belong to a great man; to know I am linked to his . . . and he to mine . . . following Christ and our dreams together . . . but You know what I need. If I never marry, it is Yes to You."
On a potato farm in Idaho, a young man knelt in a small bunkhouse and prayed, "Father god, give me a woman of God. A woman committed to you . . . someone strong where I am weak. Make me the man she needs. Build her . . . guide her . . . prepare her . . . bless her."
In 1976 that young man's sister heard Ann Kiemel speak at a meeting in Pullman, Washington. Immediately she began to "campaign" to bring her brother, Will Anderson, and Ann together. Ann and Will, both in their mid-thirties, were all too familiar with the loving efforts of their friends and families to arrange dates for them with eligible singles. Will resisted his sister's urginig for almost four years, until finally - in order to get her to give up her campaign - he agreed to ask Ann out to dinner.
But somehow Will had not anticipated how complicated it would be to get a simple dinner date with the busy author and lecturer Ann Kiemel . . . overcoming her reluctance to take a chance on a blind date with potato farmer from faraway Idaho!
I Gave God Time tells the whole story - full of suspense, humor, deep spiritual warmth, and romance - of how God Guided this couple's whirlwind courtship all the way to the altar to park Street Church in Boston in June 1981. The narrative, told in Ann's unique style, is interspersed with heartwarming excerpts from Will's and Ann's love letters and letters from friends and family members.
The Ultimate message? That when God's children give Him time, He workds out His loving plan in His own miraculous way.
