Being new to Christian fiction, I can own that I feel blessed. Have read 3 books by this author and feel I’m growing in faith. Lots to learn and nothing to lose.

More like works righteousness than the true free gift of biblical Christianity. Even so I have learned much about how not to be in my walk with the Lord. God calls His own by the Holy Spirit to see our depravity and draw us to Christ.

Story: thoroughly enjoyable. Finding precepts to apply in my own walk with God, timeless. Reader: TriciaG has stayed the same, but my ears have changed, well done.

This is the second time I listened to this story… many years apart. Is a beautiful picture of what Christ calls us to: a life of service, self-denial, willing suffering, triumph, all at different times and in different ways. The characters are human, and have the same feelings, tendencies, faults and failures as all of us. Yet, dear faithful friends are yielded to the Lord in such a way that through their ministry, they are converted and saved, and also also learn to walk in victory over the trials. This author knows how to describe all of our tendencies to avoid Christ, experience conviction of the Holy Ghost, and grow in the grace of Christ.

No villains in this book, but nearly all of the characters are gathered from earlier books in the series. Two highlights: 1) the severe damage that pride and obstinacy can do to interpersonal relationships and your relationship with God. 2) a job interview for a cook, when we discover why educated women would rather starve than work in a private home. ( As I reread this series, I am shocked again at the high infant mortality rate. When children were taught the bedtime prayer 'Now I Lay Me', there was a real possibility they would not wake. )

Wonderful book so beautiful and uplifting. The part where the baby dies was very sad but it was so encouraging to think about two of my own miscarried babies that I will see in heaven. I don't think I will ever forget this way of thinking about death.
Jesus wins. Hallelujah!

Just a bit too predictable, but I guess that's how it is when Christ is involved. We all know how the story ends, with Christ victorious.
