JOYCE, Wash., May 31, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Life is like a long road that never seems to end. As we live on, we are destined to face the many obstacles of life, to have faith in ourselves, and to keep striving hard in order to move forward. For people who get struck by sudden traumatic events, life is simply too unpredictable and too tragic to live with and there are certain limits as to what we can do by ourselves. And when people reach the lowest point of their lives, what must they do to survive? The answer is revealed in I Love You This Much, the compelling new book from author Pat Brahman, released by Xlibris.
I Love You This Much tells the dramatic story of a young wife who suddenly finds her world turned upside down when she learns that her husband is a pedophile, having been abused by priests during his days as an altar boy. After a terrible divorce, she struggles hard to balance herself and keep her own life. She begins to experience a short-lived, deep romance that teaches her the purity of love and the joys of renewal. Alone again, one day she discovers a chain letter filled with specific spiritual instructions. The Holy Spirit shows Himself to her, gently setting her on the path of life, suddenly whispering "Come and find out how to come close to me." Adding historical relevance to the story is its lively backdrop of the 1960s 'God is Dead" movements as well as the varied reactions concerning closet homosexuality.
I Love You This Much depicts our search for who God is and the connection we have with one another in His love, imparted to us through His Holy Spirit. Written with simplicity and an array of characters, each chapter is followed by a Bible verse that describes the situation with relevant detail. Interestingly, the story also has some graphic sex scenes which readers may find either offensive or enlightening. A wide audience of readers, notably women and soul searchers, will find I Love You This Much not only an attractive book to read but also a deeply touching and inspirational reading experience.

About the Author
While Pat Brahman raised her family in severe poverty she often said, "this is just a temporary problem" -- (that lasted about twenty years). She just went on trying to meet the needs of her family becoming overwhelmed, at times, which was when she made her biggest mistakes. Over the years she found that her nurturing qualities in raising a family gave her the knowledge and experience to work with the confused and the elderly. She has spent the last twenty years studying scriptures where she learned that almost all of the newfound wisdom of our society can be found. It is only new because we are not paying attention to the tools that God gave us.
