Highly recommended. So many lovely historical fiction short stories. Squeaky clean Christian romance.

I really enjoyed this book with 12 Great Christian Stories
Read
October 4, 2010This is an anthology of inspirational Christian romance set "on the prairie" of the USA.
"After the Harvest" by Lynn A Coleman. This started out kind of boring for me but picked up towards the end. Not a great story but a solid read. B-
"Love Notes" by Mary Davis. For me this story was a little disturbing. If Christian people acted the way these characters did I would be ashamed to call myself one. There is a happy ending but overall the story was depressing. C-
"Mother's Old Quilt" by Lena Nelson Dooley was very enjoyable and believable. A-
"The Tie that Binds" by Susan K. Downs was a DNF for me. I skimmed 90% of it.
"A Heart's Dream" by Birdie L. Ethcison was also a DNF.
"The Bride's Song" by Linda Ford was a really good cowboy themed story set in 1898 Canada. REALLY enjoyed this one.
"The Barefoot Bride" by Linda Goodnight made me cry. I would have LOVED to read this in a full length novel.
The rest of the stories I didn't read.

Most stories were 4 stars though a couple felt like they were full of anachronistic references. Quite few gave me the feeling of reading an L. M. Montgomery story collection. Clean romance left me feeling warm and cozy.

read the first story so far and liking the 'short story' factor of it all.

a compilation book so it is hit or miss depending on the author.

This book had 12 individual stories in it, one of which I'd already read. Every one of them was very good.

A nice collection of short stories that make the heart sing. I especially liked "The Provider", The Bride's Song" and "The Barefoot Bride."

I wasn't horribly impressed. I didn't read all of it. I only got about halfway through. Feel good little stories though. I may finish it at some point in time.

Third time I’ve read it? Fourth? I’ve lost count.
