5.0 out of 5 stars Strong Biblically based role model for wives, June 13, 2001

By	Bennett Murphy (Spring Lake, MI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: First We Have Coffee (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mama & God, December 31, 2001

By	Mrs. S. Connell "booksbegone" (Hewitt, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars First We Have Coffee, January 18, 2000

By	Greta Erdman (New Berlin, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: First We Have Coffee (Paperback)

This book is the best faith builder I've read in a long time. "Mama's" frequent reminders of God's faithfulness are real and convicting. Mrs. Jensen is a marvelous storyteller.
