5.0 out of 5 stars Heartfelt and captivating, January 20, 2000

This review is from: A Quiet Strength (Prairie Legacy Series #3) (Paperback)

I just finished reading this book and could not put it down. As in all of Jeanette Oke's books she makes you feel as if you are a part of the story, and cry and laugh right along with the carracters. I could see a lot of myself in Virginia. It is much easier to give advice about how to let God lead your life then to follow it sometimes. Realizing the difference between romantic love and true sustaining love in a marriage is not always easy. The story was very true to life as always. It is great the way that Jeanette even referred all the way back to the loss Marty suffered in Love Comes Softly of her first husband, while consoling Virginia. She always ties the history of her books together, but they are still understanable if you have not read the previos books!

This review is from: A Quiet Strength (Prairie Legacy Series #3) (Paperback)

I loved the first two books, but this one is the best yet! Virgina has now grown up. At first I was sad that her teen-years adventures were over, but reading about her as an adult has been thrilling. So many things, including an abused child, her own children, a husband, struggles, and her grandmother, happen to her. Through the whole thing she realizes that her relationship with Christ is not what it should be. I think that this book has a great value to it!

This book was a great addition to the Prairie Legacy Series. Virginia is now grown up and living on her own, while still learning new ways as to how the Lord has blessed her life and is always there for her when she needs Him. I can't wait for book #4!
