5.0 out of 5 stars OKE'S MOST SPIRITUALLY EDIFYING BOOK EVER!, November 26, 1999

This review is from: The Measure of a Heart (Women of the West #6) (Paperback)

This is, in my opinion, the most spiritually edifying book I have ever read that is ficton. The main character is humble and submissive and a TRUE Christian. She is innocent and naive, yet mature. I wish I could be more like her. I feel like I KNOW her, too. A very good book for ALL AGES. You must read it. It will change your life by drawing you closer to God though the wonderful Christ-like example that this woman is.

I read this book when I was really down in the dumps. Life was going wrong. After I read it, I felt so awesome that I bought myself a copy! I want to be a missionary when I grow up, so this also helped me in that area! It is a great book! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book by Janette Oke, October 20, 1999

By

This review is from: The Measure of a Heart (Women of the West #6) (Paperback)

This book is especially good because it shows the miraculous things that the Lord can do with a humble heart. For example there is is very good part about befriending someone that does everything to discourage friendship. I also very much enjoyed the author's attempt at showing the particular challenges of dealing with addiction. Although not dealt with in much depth, there is wisdom in what is portrayed.
