While I agree with the principles of the temperance movement, that issue was such a focal point that the plot sometimes became lost. Still definitely an encouragement for Christian living and standing for your convictions!

Lovely reading.

(3 Sterne)

I have thoroughly enjoyed many of the Pansy books, and been challenged by the dedication to holy living and serving God in them. This book, however, is more preachy than devotional, more insistent on assertion of a particular view of the author than a genuine desire for a true conscience before God. It got very boring and tiresome at times. Self-righteous to the uttermost, this little Dell, and fascinating to wonder how she'd view Christ, who both ate and drank. Is she insisting that she is more righteous than Jesus, who clearly did not discontinue all consumption of alcohol based on the idea that some might be tripped up by it? Interesting to ponder.

Mostly about the temperance movement

(3,5 Sterne)

This book is mostly about the temperance movement of the 1800s, trying to encourage people not to drink alcohol. Interesting discussions about whether total abstinence was required, versus what we now call "social drinking." Can see the seeds of the 12-step program beginning to take shape.

Story: Finding personal strength for my spiritual battles against not temperance or abstinence but against apathy in my daily walk with the Lord. LOVE these stories by Pansy. Reader: I am growing more accustomed to her style, but still long for a more animated reader.

Cool

(4 Sterne)

It was very easy to understand and an overall enjoyable book. It really made me think about how much outdid a Christian I really am. The pronunciation of TricaG was great too.

Too much of a good thing

(4 Sterne)

the temperance movement was an important time. In our history. but I feeling this one story it was overdone... Some amazing happenings in the story unexpected

Sorrowful story well read

(5 Sterne)

I am enjoying this series. The clear way the reader reads also makes it interesting as it is not hard to understand.
