The second Christian novel this year (Linda Dorrell's True Believers is theother) to focus on the renovation of a church and, in particular, the female protagonist's design of its stained glass windows, this story features alovestruck pair of artists who are supposed to be offbeat and tortured, but in fact are ill-defined and bland.
