I am hopelessly in love with all of books in the whole Blessing series... I have not only read them all but for the third time now and I find I am just as excited to start the next one as I was on the first time of reading them. I get such a blessing from the strong Christian foundation in these books, that I find myself praying for some of the same prayers. I have grown up in a loving Christian home with a God fearing Grandmother that was a great example of "living your Faith". No one was ever turned away, and there was always enough food for one more... so this series hit home. I thank Lauraine for following God's guidance and using her talent of writing to Bless me and I know so many others.. I can't say it enough to those who think they might want to read this series LOOK NO FURTHER this is a MUST READ. But start from the beginning that would be An Untamed Land, be ready for an amazing tale of a journey to a new land a strong Christian historical fiction that will leave you begging for more of the story..
Great book!
This was a wonderful read. I am addicted to Lauraine Snelling books. I am so elated that she has so many. The ongoing saga of the Bjorkland family in the late 1800's to early 1900's is very interesting. I find this book as well as some of her others to be riveting and I am either smiling, crying, mad or very relieved. Lauraine has a way of evoking many emotions in her books and I love how she crafts a sentence and has such a knowledge of human nature. My all time favorite has to be though how these are filtered through a Christian perspective and that is also enjoyable for this reader.
this crowned the final scenes in a most beautiful way.
Lauraine Snelling is a master at making pioneer life become real to her readers. Since my grandmother was born in Norway and settled with her family in North Dakota, I know how accurate Ms. Snelling has been in creating the environment to take her readers away into the past. I have wondered, however, if it was purposeful or a mistake that the word "recipe" always comes across as "receipt." Maybe that is what the early Norwegians thought was correct. Nevertheless, after reading all the "Blessing" books, this crowned the final scenes in a most beautiful way.
Home is where the heart is
This wonderful series adds another book to the best ever series. This family, with two of its original now older women, continues to inspire and show the love and inspiration for the younger members of Blessing. The people continue to amaze me with their wisdom and kindness, their willingness to help those less fortunate and even the siblings of long ago friends. The grateful hearts of these wonderful people will stay with me forever. Do not miss this wonderful series for your best read ever.
Very well written
Very good series I bought several books. Two complete series and I enjoy reading this time period.
Learning to hear from God in hard situations.
After reading the first two volumes in this series, which were excellent, this volume is "good". It covers the basic theme of working together to accomplish more than the sum of its people which is a terrific concept of living in community. Lauraine also does an excellent job of describing a constant relationship with God that can see us through anything that happens in life. However, it is weak when it comes to Astrid's budding relationship with Daniel Jeffers which is covered in the very last parts of the book.
Be prepared to order the next series!!
This series is a great read, sweet and pure, but interesting with conflict of the heart and faith. This is the last of the series, but the next reads continue in Song of Blessing #1, To Everything a Season.
Sad it's over!
After reading all the books, I feel like I am saying goodbye to the family! I am very sad it is over. Lauraine Smelling has a gift of writing that keeps a person connected to the characters and also keeps a refreshing Christian perspective on life. Many things have I taken from her writings to better my own life. Thank you Mrs Snelling! May the Lord bless you as you have blessed others!
A Heart For Home
Lauraine Snelling is one of my favorite authors. The way she applies the ability to hear God's voice and see His faithfulness through the trials of everyday life is amazing. She is constantly bringing her characters and the reader back to the truth of God's unfailing love for His sons and daughters, no matter how small or large the problem may seem at the time. She reminds us that all we have to do is to seek His face and wait for His voice, He will always answer if we are patient to listen to Him and walk in His will.
So happy for Blessings
Once again, a wonderful story. Such adventure,mishaps, and survival of the new country. The story ended too soon,wanted more. Great storyline.
