First Rate Story Teller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I was first introduced to Jeanette Okes' stories on Moody Bibles 'Stories From the Bookshelf' series, a radio dramatization. Having listened to the episodes and gotten caught up in the stories, I was excited when I learned that they had made the movies. I felt both of the first two stayed fairly true to the stories, but for some reason its' hard to fathom, 'Loves' Abiding Joy' is a departure, an entertaining story, but not the one the book tells by that title. It leaves it open for them to still tell this story but..what would they call that movie? "Marty and Clarke Go west?" Neverthe less It is all well written and the movies are well done. The other stories on the Moody Radio series are great as well. Gary in Savannah

Janette Oke has done a wonderful job of traveling through the years. This is the 4th instalment of the "Love Comes Softly" saga. I find her work easy to get into and hard to put down. Keep up the great work Janette.
Long Awaited Reunion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book was great. I was so happy to read Clark and Marty were going to visit Missie and Willie. What an ordeal the trip must have been. The visit, I could picture it in my head. Fabulous writing. I enjoyed this book as much as the first. Recommened to anyone reading this series. I really hope this goes on film.
Clark and Marty go to Missie's 'West"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
With the advent of trains, Marty and Clark finally take a vacation to visit Missie, Willie and their two little boys. Missie's beautiful stone home is already built and Willie's cattle business is doing well. The long awaited reunion is spoiled early in the trip by a horrible, unforeseen accident that threatens the family's faith, endurance and even a life. Without a doctor-- it seems a main character will die. The two week vacation turns out very differently, but in the meantime, Clark has made a huge difference in the lives of the ranchhands and local town and area. One learns to love Cookie, Scottie and Lane in this book.The book was a good look at the dynamics of early American Godly family life, and I am anxious to start book 5. Thank you Janette Oke.
