The American pioneer of the nineteenth century didnt have an easy life, but a snug little log cabin was a blessing against the forces of winter. Beside a cozy fire, surrounded by log walls built off his own land, a frontiersman could feel like a king. Al

Review
The authors do a good job of showing the complex relationships between men and women. There are misunderstandings, fearing to accept or declare love, trying to deal with the children in the family, and then living in a one or two bedroom log cabin is enough to get on anyone nerves. There are different nationalities, odd family units, dangers from animals and Indians, and more. The authors are very factual about living back in the 1800’s. It wasn’t easy, but a well-built cabin and someone to love makes it a lot better.
This book would make a nice Christmas gift. It’s a book that would be fun to read each Christmas season, just pack it away with your Christmas ornaments. The stories are short enough they would work for reading aloud, too. I really enjoyed reading it.
(Marianne Arkins Long and Short Reviews 2011-08-31)This book would make a nice Christmas gift. It’s a book that would be fun to read each Christmas season, just pack it away with your Christmas ornaments. The stories are short enough they would work for reading aloud, too. I really enjoyed reading it.
Although they are all set in the pioneer days, each of these stories is truly timeless. Love, faith and redemption are consistent themes throughout the collection, with each set of characters struggling to find their way through physical and emotional trials. Faith and trust in God is the overriding theme, connecting the stories in the collection as strongly as the holiday setting itself. A wonderful introduction to the work of nine talented authors, A Log Cabin Christmas is a collection you will return to time after time.

Book Description
Penned by an exclusive selection of Christian fiction authors—including Margaret Brownley, Wanda E. Brunstetter, and Jane Kirkpatrick—this collection of nine romances will become an instant treasure. The American pioneer history comes to life within rough-hewn walls where faith, hope, and love flourish, especially at Christmastime.

The cover words "LOG CABIN" & "AMERICAN PIONEER CHRISTMASES" sold me on trying this book. I love historic fiction, my wife and I both relish Christmas reads, and I recognized a few of the authors listed as being successful writers. Being a man, the stated Romance aspect did not defer me from the purchase. What a wise buy. With 9 good stories included in this Christmas anthology, it's a bit over a buck per tale. That's old-fashioned value. As much history as romance, if not more.
9 novellas liberally use terms such as puncheon floors, buckboards, out houses, guns, forests, circuit riders, butter churns, crosscut or axe, and other words and descriptions of articles long lost to 21st century living. The stories require one to 1 ˝ hour of time to read and pack suspense, adventure, mystery and romance into each novella. This is invigorating historical fiction. And of course, each has a dapple of romance. Suitors and "suitees" are quickly established and of course, in the Christmas tradition of peace and love......eventually......find joy. Stories are each about 50 pages, just right for holiday reading. And it give readers a quick look at 9 different, perhaps first time read, authors. You might be rewarded with another "favorite" author.
One fault found was three of the stories have mistaken information written in the short synopsis' of each story. The Softcover fold inward on the front and back, like a dust jacketed hardcover. Synopsis for story one states a mother's diary was read; not that of an aunt's. Story 2 cover fold synopsis has 5 children, not the true 3, inside the schoolhouse. The last story synopsis refers to a nonexistent blizzard...snow yes, blizzard no. Fortunately this takes nothing away from the inside authors' enchantments.... Read more ›

Others have described in excellent manner the themes of this collection. Quality of the individual stories runs from insipid to very well done. Don't let the poorer ones keep you from the gems. Of particular enjoyment is Michelle Ule's debut novella Dogtrot Christmas. Michelle has well researched the cultural of her setting, included well thought out intrigues, and writes in such a manner to hold your interest and leave you wanting more.

This book is filled with darling heartwarming Christian stories set during Christmastime ... I have found them all very entertaining and have truly enjoyed reading them. While I am an avid reader of Christian novels I found this a great book for many reasons one of which was a great way to visit some of authors I am very familiar with and enjoy such as Margaret Brownley, Kelley Eileen Hake, & Debra Ullrick ... and to get to know others such as Jane Kirkpatrick, Liz Johnson, Liz Tolsma, Michelle Ule, & Erica Vetsch are new to me. I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to passing it on to my daughter and reading some of the new (to me) author's other books in the near future.

Just holding Log Cabin Christmas in my hands was a delight - a rare treat these days. The stories are heartwarming, and they created such a wonderful mood. They're great for reading aloud to your family - the kind of stories that make you want to curl up in front of a gentle fire with a cup of cocoa and a box of tissues nearby. I plan to give some of these as Christmas gifts this year.

I love a short read from time to time, especially when I am real busy with other stuff. I liked this compilation of stories and that they were frontier time stories. They were all good stories and I enjoyed them.

Rating "A Log Cabin Christmas".
I didn't care for some of the selections. I felt they were poorly written. I chose it because it held Wanda Brunstetter's name on it. I always liked her stories. Read more
