There is Great Reward for Faithfulness

Revisado: 01-23-25

This is a romantic story of a sincere, humble, and selfless young woman. Her beloved father dies, and the family does everything possible to strip her of her intended (significant) inheritance. Even though her brother is generally good-hearted, they ruthlessly succeed!

Her response is to steadily go the way of self-sacrifice, even to fulfill the desires God has placed in her heart. She is further humiliated in public settings, even as the plan the Lord has for her unfolds as beautifully as a crimson rose.

This is a book I keep going back to.

Unpredictable Coming-of-Age Story

Revisado: 12-31-24

This sweetly told (but-not-so-sweet) story is useful as an instruction book demonstrating the difference between skin-deep religion and being transformed by Christ. I loved that I couldn’t see anything coming except that one relationship in which love clearly seen (at least to me) was one-sided. The ending does not disappoint, in spite of a sad twist.

A Christian Cinderella Story

Revisado: 09-27-24

Not Under the Law can be enjoyed as a charming example of a Christian walk. We go through difficulties and persist in faith during times of persecution. The world comes at us hard and we slave like Cinderella did! In the end, believers always triumph! One of my top ten Grace Livingston Hill books.

Found Treasure is a Pleasure to read and Fills Me With Hope

Revisado: 04-25-24

Is there any hope for loners with social awkwardness? Yes! I love when the true character of Euphemia Martin is proven in an unplanned event. Then a young Christian provides just the right guidance to inspire that transformation that only comes through Christ Jesus.

Principle of Encouragement in All Seasons of Life Proven Here

Revisado: 10-22-23

These truths kind of sum up this wonderful book, Ariel Custer: Life sometimes seems unbearably difficult. People who give and love and do rightly are often unfairly trampled for long terms of suffering. But always, for the believer, the faithfulness of God proves rock steady every single time. He restores, in the end, and gives incredulous joy that outshines all past times of darkness. Putting our hope and trust in God and his faithfulness never disappoints.

A Rollicking Love Story

Revisado: 10-16-23

It takes all kinds! A departure from story “formula,” this novel is about love blossoming in the midst of the most evil kinds of criminals. The characters have the right stuff to survive one terrifying development after another. In the end, a stealthy but clear message about the necessity for God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit shines through.

The reader sweetens the heavy darkness of the tale

Revisado: 10-10-23

This is a story about a sweet orphan girl named Phoebe Dean who has a very hard life! She lives with a sweet half brother, but his wife is a perfect depiction of heartlessness “in the shape of a woman.” Her sharp tongue stings Phoebe’s daily life unceasingly, like a swarm of murder hornets! If that isn’t bad enough, the widower next door, who was a monster of a husband before, sets his sights unrelentingly on Phoebe, though she makes it perfectly clear she would not marry him if he were the last man on earth. Thankfully, early in the story, a good guy enters her life and also a good friend named Miranda and everything works out just as our good Lord above would have it. I enjoyed it more with this reader, because previously it was too much darkness for me but she reads really well and brings out the good points.

Great recording that uplifted the story

Revisado: 07-08-23

I read this book before listening to it, and the setting of the story was so dingy that I wasn’t sure I wanted to revisit it. Glad I did! This recording of The Daily Rate adds lightness to the heaviness of the dark times—many people lived in disturbing circumstances. But the story itself is remarkable because it shows that ministry begins at home and opportunities surround us. A lovely book. I highly recommend it.

A Favorite by GLH

Revisado: 05-24-23

The Tryst, to me, stands apart uniquely from Grace Livingston Hill‘s other books. What I love about it most is there is a real seeking of God by a main character. Also, it is a beautiful story of redemption and love. I highly recommend it!

A Classic Story Anyone Would Love

Revisado: 05-22-23

The Obsession of Victoria Gracen is a perfect story that demonstrates the beauty and power of a true Christian life—something that is rarely witnessed. Some are scandalized that the lady dares to share her home and her life with boys who have bad reputations. The bad guy in this story, though, is a churchgoing gossip. (This book should be at least as well known as Pollyanna.) I highly recommend this book, which is a completely different kind of love story.
