About "Glaen":

Annie is a college grad-student who is stumped about love. Her mom and dad are in the throes of a divorce, her teenage sister is obsessed with how her boyfriend makes her look, and her closest friend Jennah is on a continual ride of running off every guy she dates. Friendships, dating, romance, and marriage – it’s all confusing to Annie until the day a white-haired stranger appears in her life.

Glaen is an unusual professor with an unusual name. Her white-haired unconventional mentor guides Annie on a path of discovery that unlocks the secrets of real relationships in a world gone phony. By abandoning herself to learn, Annie discovers the mystifying affect of how learning to tell the truth changes everything in friendship, family, and love.


ROMANCE vs. TRUE LOVE

Glaen will help you explore the fact that romance is based on the unusual and exciting, while real relationships often involve periods of mundane and difficult things in life.  Honestly, don't you want someone who will be there when the times are challenging?  Don't you want someone cheering for you in the day-to-day, rather than constantly asking "What have you done for me lately?"  Romance is great for an evening, but Glaen tells you the secrets of what will last a lifetime.


My Thoughts on "Glaen"

I truly enjoyed "Glaen".  At first the name baffled me.. I didn't know if it was the cup on the front cover, like maybe a name of a drink? When I delved more into the book I found out the Professor in the book is named "Glaen".


The book flows very smoothly, points out a lot of thing about dating, relationships, and marriage. Really gets you to thinking about even where you may stand today in your own relationships.  "Glaen" shows you that most of the time we are sort of setting ourselves up for failure when we have this story-book romance view on love.. Love is more than that.


I believe many who read this book were very moved by the scripture at the very end, that I will quote from Phillipians 2:3-4, the following for reference is the New Living Translation:

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

I also like the New King James Version of this scripture:

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

"Glaen" hits the spot on this. A very impressive read, you will "learn" more just by reading this book! I recommend to anyone who ever considers "dating, marriage, and love".


Thanks to Audra Jennings from The B&B Media Group , I received a complimentary copy of this book for my own personal review, I was not compensated in any other manner other than a review copy of the book.
