This is the fifth in the Lacy's Mail Order Bride series. The first two were great, and the third one good, but the following books have not met that standard.

Ransom of Love is a good title for the story line of this book. They do a wonderful job of showing two different illustrations of how Christ has paid our ransom. The information on slavery was interesting and the hate and bigotry toward the slaves is unfortunately true. However, I found the book itself redundantly wordy and at times too simply written.

I only recommend this book if you have read the others in the series. For those who haven't - read the others first so you can see the quality of work the Lacy's are better know for.

I have enjoyed the entire series of mail order brides by these authors and found more substance and "meat" in this one. Reading about the various lives that are woven together, the differences in life choices by Christians and non-Christians, I found several stories that occur simultaneously to bring all the actors together. God's plan in our lives was never so clearly shown through words. A very good read as are ALL in this series. You will learn about slavery to the revival era of the late 1800's. Informative, entertaining, and thought provoking I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good read.
