Synopsis "In An Eveningtide: A minister, the women who loved him, the secrets they held (in English)"
From the time he was a small boy, Josiah Lathim's passion and singular focus was to touch people with God's love as a minister. In 1968, at thirty years old, he was a handsome, charismatic, successful and popular evangelist. His compassion and concern for the lost and hurting is so overwhelming at times, he staggered beneath the weight of it. Betty Kendall loved Josiah for as long as she could remember - from the time their families had connected through church when they were children. But did he really love her? Although they had been engaged since they were out of high school, Josiah didn't behave as though he wanted to get married. Her love and need of him bordered on obsession. His reluctance to set a wedding date fueled her insecurities about their relationship. Leah Goldstein grew up with affluence, the only child of wealthy Jewish parents. Wild and rebellious in high school, her life spiraled out of control when she had an abortion. Desperate to find peace - wanting to change her life, she went with a friend to church service that offered her what her heart was longing for. But what would her parents think of her embracing the Christian faith? When Leah met Tony Silva at a church retreat, they instantly connect. Tony gets drafted and in the emotional hype of him getting orders that he's being sent to Viet Nam, they run off to Las Vegas and get married. Doubt about her hasty marriage sends Leah into a tailspin of despair. She's determined to make her marriage work, especially when she realizes she's going to have a baby. But when Tony volunteers to return to Viet Nam a second time, she feels abandoned and unloved. When she gets involved with Josiah's ministry as a volunteer, Josiah is drawn to the sad, haunted look in her eyes. She's drawn to his compassion and kindness. It leads to an attraction culminated in a weekend together. In An Eveningtide covers forty years in the lives of Josiah and Betty, Leah and Tony - years filled with struggles and secrets. God proves his faithfulness to restore the broken.
