For God So Loved the One

For God So Loved the One

By Kerry Blair

This story is a new twist of the story of the Christmas orange.  It happened to a very ambitious kind hearted new Relief Society President and her quest to serve the Lord.

I liked how refreshingly honest the main character was.  I could relate to her.  I loved how one orange could change so many people’s lives.   It was a short but worthwhile read.
