Oh.. I loved this little book! It's a wonderful gift for a friend!


Review:

I was surprised by how attractive biblical marriage is portrayed within the pages of this encouraging little book. This is not about how to have a happy marriage/family life when both partners are 'wonderful'. This is the life-story of a woman who applied God's truths to her life and trusted in the Lord for the outcome. Her husband didn't suddenly turn into the romantic white knight she may have dreamed about in her youth, but she loved and respected him, even regarding his differences. She walked the walk, sacrificing many things to the Lord, and found that the secret to a happy life was a thankful heart. There just aren't very many Christian books out there that unabashedly take God's word as it is written. So many water it down with situational ethics...this one does not, but what an encouraging and riveting biography for us to follow.

This is the story of an immigrant family in the early 1900s. Many times were hard but the family's faith in God brought them through. This is a very easy to read book with stories that put the reader in the setting. The stories, although enlightening about living in that time period, also serve the purpose of building one's faith by seeing how Mama believed God's promises and helped all her children to believe them too. This book is a pleasure to read & the reader will feel better after having read it.

Oh! I read the reviews and want this! At the moment, they're temporarily out of stock, but I put it in my cart to get next time. Sounds wonderful!

It IS a wonderful book! I think I've given it as a gift about 10x... maybe more because at this point in life I am probably giving the same gift out more than once!!

A sweet friend here sent this to me. I read it in 2 nights. What an incredible gift this story has been. The times she writes about are gone in our world...it was a simpler, less confusing time. But the message of God's faithfulness is as timely as ever, and this book was a rich blessing to read.
