Arms of Love Series

Arms of Love–the new and revised version, 2026, narrated by the author, Carmen Marcoux.

He had the “perfect” single’s life, filled with pleasures, void of faith, commitment, and love. Then she came along and turned his world upside down. The year is 1996; John Paul II is pope; there is a revival of faith amongst those who would come to refer to themselves as the JPII generation, with a fervour for evangelization in response to his holiness’s call to build a Civilization of Love. Most homes are just moving from dial-up internet to highspeed. Very few people carry cell phones, which all use T9 for texting, and life moved at a pace that was not dominated by smartphones and social media.

It is within this social setting, based in Saskatoon, Canada, that Catholic novelist, Carmen Marcoux, presents an inspiring modern-day fiction with characters so real-to-life they will become like friends. You won’t want to put it down, as you follow the lives of these characters making their way through the ordinary challenges of daily life with hearts tuned into God's extraordinary grace at work all around us.

Compelling, engaging, entertaining, and inspiring, Arms of Love will take you on a journey of faith and romance like non-other. A must-hear for people of all ages and stages of life, youth and adults, men and women alike.

Note: Arms of Love was originally written in 2002 and sold close to 30,000 copies at that time, followed by its sequel Surrender. Carmen Marcoux and her husband then went on to direct a ministry for youth and families, working with and training young adults for over twelve years, as they continued to raise their family of nine children. In 2024, she returned to the pen, working alongside her adult, married children, and revised Arms of Love and Surrender, to be released in 2026. She has continued the series with book three, All For You, also to be release in 2026, with books four and five hopefully soon to follow.
