The Dean's Watch by Elizabeth Goudge**

The Dean of the city's Cathedral is ugly and introverted. People fear him, not realizing his shyness prevents him from expressing his love for them. Isaac, a clockmaker, hates his father,who was a pastor. As a result, Isaac does not believe in God and is repulsed by any mention of Him. These two men meet and become friends. Through their friendship, they overcover their faults and begin to understand what Love is. Other friendships form because their relationship.

I loved the journey of reading this book. It is a slower paced plot, where one becomes intimate with the characters. Ms. Goudge exposes the tendencies of humanity and how God's love can transform any despicable person.

**Highly, highly recommend (don't be looking for a fast plot).
