Mrs. Solomon Smith Looking On


Read by TriciaG

(4.8 stars; 70 reviews)

Old Mrs. Solomon Smith considers herself "nothing but an ignorant old woman" who didn't have the advantages others did when growing up. However, those around her know that she's actually full of biblical wisdom and the experience of walking with Christ through the years. She shares her wisdom -- and more importantly, Christ -- to those she meets in everyday life, in a wise and gentle manner. She touches lives wherever she goes. But can her life and example touch the heart of Laura, a young woman who loves and respects her, but doesn't seem interested in religion? (Summary by TriciaG) (8 hr 53 min)

Reviews

Mrs. Solomon Smith Looking On


(5 stars)

Like all Pansy’s books, this one discusses temperance, Sabbath breaking, Sunday Schools, etc…. Yet the setting and characters are a nice change of pace and the ending is sweet.

Much Wisdom


(5 stars)

Mrs. Solomon Smith has much wisdom to offer to young and old. This is a book to listen multiple times!

One of this Author's Best ever


(5 stars)

Well Done


(4.5 stars)

After listening to a number of Triciag's narrations, this is the best one yet. Her Midwestern accent and old-lady characterization for Mrs. Smith is spot on. Congratulations. The book itself is literarily interesting for its time (and intended audience, I suppose.) It's a character study, primarily, told in the first person by a rather colorless narrator, but I surely would love to know Mrs. Solomon Smith.

A beautiful book!


(5 stars)

One of my new favorite Pansy books! The example of “Aunty Smith” is one that ought to be followed by all of us! “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” (Pro. 3:5)

Started a bit slow


(5 stars)

This was a bit slow at the start but got more interesting after the first chapter or so. Tricia G did an amazing job once again!


(5 stars)

I should've not put this book to the end of the list... it was 100 times better than I thought by reading the description. Pleased indeed!

Excellent
