Meet Me With A Promise 

When the Spanish-American War causes yet another postponement of Frank and Amys wedding, she vows to marry him when he returns. A severe battle brings Frank home from the Philippines before the rest of his regiment, but Amy is simply glad that her fiance is alive. Frank, however, believes the war has changed more than his appearance – the wounds on his soul have scarred his character. Rather than expose Amy to the depths of his emotional pain and risk facing her disappointment in the man he has become, Frank refuses to marry her. Will Franks fear of rejection keep him forever trapped in war memories and isolated from the healing power of love? Or will he learn to trust Gods promises – and the faithfulness of his childhood love?
