Be Strong and Courageous EPUB

Julius and Amber have known each other for years, attending the same high school, even though they were not friends. They hung out in different crowds. Amber was part of the "popular" crowd, while Julius was considered a "geek" by Amber's friends. It isn't until commencement when they discover that they will attend the same college.

Amber is struck by panic since she has been living a secret life since she was a little girl. All her life, she hid from her friends what went on at her house and at the hands of her high school boyfriend. Amber wanted to run away from the pain and the rumors. Going away to college was Amber's chance to escape and start over--until Julius.

Julius loves Jesus and his family. Every day, Julius tries to show Christ through his actions. He knew what people called him, and Julius didn't care. People's opinions of him did not determine what he thought of himself. When Julius sees Amber on campus, he shows Amber kindness and grace. As their friendship grows and romance blossoms, Julius works to show Amber who Jesus is and what a gentleman looks like.
