That Would Not Let Me Go
 |
| Jackie Calloway book's cover |
To say that Jackie Calloway is an inspiration would be
an understatement. After 27 years of marriage,
his betrayal and separation left her with only one prospect – divorce.
How would she cope with the loneliness? Apart from him, who
was she really after all? Her questions would take her
on a long inward journey that would leave her utterly bereft
and yet just where she needed to be. It was there
where she encountered His love and in her despair she discovered
her greatest joy. And now finally when she was beginning
to find the answers, he would enter her life once again.
This is the scenario introduced in the book entitled, Love
That Would Not Let Me Go.
This book recounts the remarkable story
of Ronnie and Jackie Calloway, and how God
miraculously reconciled their relationship through His love.
This is a love story like no other as told by author, Jackie
Calloway. Love
That Would Not Let Me Go moves passed the surface and
into a deeper realm where discovery challenges the conventional.
Jackie’s
depiction shows us that there is something to be experienced
in life that is beyond our understanding or our ability to
resist. The unrelenting passion portrayed in
her telling makes for an extraordinary story.
