Critiques

thanks again, TriciaG


(5 stars)

Lord, may I be a patient and Godly a mother.... 'blessed are the humble for they shall be exalted" whoooooo Ruth shows us the value of humility. has she taken matters into her own hand, in her own time, the families would have been destroyed... the affects of their lives in the community and generations would have been completely changed for the worse. I continually pray for Holy Duct Tape over my mouth. :-)

Another Gem by Pansy


(5 stars)

Ruth Burnham grows in the Lord as she sees her son grow up, attend college, become a successful lawyer, get married, and face tragedies in his life. There are many amazing lessons to learn throughout this book. Highly recommended!

Pansy had a broad imagination that sometimes feels like a little too much. I wouldn’t say this book had as much depth as some of her other ones.

Worth it!


(5 stars)

That was time well spent. It was a good story and the lessons on growth in following God are good for my thought life.

I really enjoy the pansy stories. They make me laugh and cry and they inspire me to be a better Christian!

a bit much
