Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt? I have. Have you ever cherished the pain because you knew the kind you'd face without them would be way too unbearable? That's me. To young Neeka Perry, Denny is one thing. In the streets, he's a whole other entity. She was brave enough to love both sides, upside down, all around, and back again. He provided her with all a girl could believe she dreamed of-security, desire, and, most enviably, genuine...

Doubt doesn't have to divide one's faith-it can be a tool for believers to dive deeper into their faith.

The promise of Eternal life has been a clarion call to the Saints for centuries, rousing them to action and heroic virtue. They knew that, compared with Eternity, this life is but a shadow.
