Book Description
Do all road really lead to Rome? From the busy streets of Rome to the fragrant hills of Florentine, and from the gorgeous Isle of Capri to the romantic canals of Venice, four independent American women are compelled to explore this historic country that their parents and grandparents called "home." As they investigate the past and discover the secrets of their family heritage, will they also find the forgiveness, the freedom, the life, and the love they seek? These four brandnew novellas show that God can sometimes use the events of yesterday to reveal hints to one's future. Four American women explore the historic country that their parents and grandparents called "home"--along the way finding God's plan for themselves.

Too religious
Rating  (3)
Date: 2008-08-12
0 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful
This book was great to read, but some parts were too religious and frustrating because they seemed very unrealistic. I'm a Christian woman, but it seemed as if the authors, also Christian women, were encouraging other women readers to submit to men. One chapter talked about a woman who tried to get away from her boyfriend by going to Italy, but he followed her and stalked her when she was there. The author romanticized this and made it seem as if this were "romantic", when in reality, he was smothering her and should have respected her and given her privacy to go to Italy on her own with friends and enjoy life.

Contemporary Christian Romances Take Place in Italy
Rating  (5)
Date: 2007-03-07
I have read many of these Christian novellas and I simply love every single one! This one I got because I am Italian and never have been to Italy!
This is a book made up of four short stories (about 100 pages each). That's four different girls meet four different boys and four happy endings. Yes, there are Christian undertones, so if you don't want to read about faith and finding God than this is not a book for you.
As a Christian, myself I feel reading stories like this strengthen my relationship with God.
Here is a little teaser about each story.
1. A photographer and a columnist for a fashion magazine are sent to Milan to get stories about Fashing Week there. The photographer is ver impatient and unfriendly. Will he learn patience and even love, while in Italy?
2. A girl goes to Italy to experience a romance great like her Grandmothers. She is so furious though, when her boyfriend shows up, she thinks he stalking her. What kind of romance will she find in Italy? What does she discover about her grandmother's romance?
3. A movie actress receives a letter from her long lost grandfather in Italy, who disowned his son for marrying another woman. The daughter of that marraige is orphaned and making a career as a movie actress. She has lost sight of God alone the way. Will she remember how to be a good Christian? Will she forgive her grandfather? Will she fall in love?
4. The last story is about a girl whose grandmother just died and her fiance just broke up with her. (Talk about bad days!) She is invited to come to Italy and stay with her grandmother's best friend. Little does she know that she is being set up with the woman's son, who has vowed never to marry. What will happen? Will she find love in Italy? If so, will it be with Nick who has vowed never to marry? What is his secret?
Great stories, that are fast and easy to read. Wonderful if you are developing your faith.

"From Italy with Love"
Rating (5)
Date: 2004-03-08
2 out of 3 customers found this reveiw helpful
"From Italy with Love' contains four novellas, each portraying different cities in Italy. The history lessons are great and of course what better place than Italy for romance. Each heroine found love and most importantly a greater relationship with God. In "The Lure of Capri," Ryan and terri were both able to grow and the proposal was one othe most romantic I've read. I am ready to get out my learn Italian cd.
