The Pocket Measure
Pansy
Lu par TriciaG
Three young women are the central characters in this story. Callie and her husband are poor, but they are frugal, spending using God's principles, and they reserve a tenth for God's work. Eva's husband makes more than double what Callie's husband makes, but that doesn't keep them from sinking beneath a load of debt. Even worse, she feels that her husband thinks it's her fault - and she thinks it is, too. She's an inexperienced housekeeper and doesn't know where the money goes. Happy-go-lucky Jennie wants to marry a rich man, so that her married life can be filled with parties, gaiety and pretty things. Will Coleman is poor, and not a Christian, but he's SO gentlemanly and romantic... (Summary by TriciaG) (10 hr 4 min)

Critiques
another good book by pansy
A LibriVox Listener
once again Pansy digs into the issues of life that truly matter: BTW this is what she writes! no need to be surprised to find God and morality in the center of any Pansy book! Rather, I'd be shocked to find a story by her that lacked these themes. Tricia G as usual reads well, without calling attention to herself; evenly, with her characteristic cadence that is all her own. The 3 women in the story were a Delight to meet. although at times, i wanted to weep with them in their sorrows, yet there was plenty of opportunity to rejoice with them as well. Well done.
timeless advice from the Bible on integrity

I love Pansy stories. Her characters are well-drawn, perhaps a bit too sweet but giving one something to aspire to as a Christian woman. I hope I can keep the inspiration of handling money that is in this novel. God’s economy is not the world’s economy, but I can trust Him with my finances as well as with my life.
legalism
jstaum
A very legalistic view of religion not a Christian life. It almost seems as though she would condemn Christ him self for saying it is right to do good on the sabbath. Letting a baby get down to almost the point of dying is irresponsible and to not think it right to use money they had to help the baby. But it was ok to let someone else use theirs. Disappointing

A very good journey about walking rightly with a selfless heart. The Pansy books always challenge me to look at my own life and want to improve it. I am grateful for the reader who always chooses edifying books to read. Wonderful job!
Amazing lovely story

Absolutely LOVED my first ever book read/ listened to by Author Pansy. Referred to by listening to Grace Livingstone Hill books.. sharpened and challenged my Christian walk, just by listening.
Outstanding job
