Review: ...you don't always hear the knock.

This book was given to me years ago by my godmother, but I never read it until a couple of nights ago. I read it for comfort after choking forth several sweaty, tearful prayers. I'd just found out that the...

Pros: Wonderful Christian series

Cons: I want more and more sequels

Review: I got aquainted with this author, Janette Oke, several years ago and this series of books was the first ones I ever read that had me so addicted to someone's style and wonderful story telling. Her first book in the series was published in 1979. I love...

Pros: Easy reading, interesting

Cons: none

Review: I first read the Love Comes Softly series when I was a teenager and I feel in love then. Even now, 10 years later I still love all eight of these books. Set in the late 1800s, this story involves a young pregnant woman who, when her husband is...

Pros: Characters, plot, life-like events, humorous cooking exploits

Cons: Can't think of any.

The Bottom Line: Buy it for every female you know over 11!

Review: Of all the Oke books I have read, I believe that Love Comes Softly will always remain my favorite, due to its touching telling of Clark and Marty Davis, a simple couple who deal with their trails and burdens through the grace of God.

My mother...

Review: Clark an' Marty. Ben an' Ma Graham. Missie an' Clare an' Arnie an' Nandry an' Clae an' Ellie an' Luke an' Belinda.

These are all characters that seem like old friends to me. They all are found in Janette Oke's Love Comes Softly...

Pros: very inspiring; 7 books to follow this one.. all equally fantastic

Cons: I became so attached to Clark and Marty that I couldn't bear to finish the eight stories.. I am still re-reading them, 12 years later

Review: I have always loved to read. I could never get enough of great children's books as a kid.. but I distinctly remember gingerly crossing the literary bridge into quality 'grown-up' books. I believe I was in the 8th grade. As much as I loved Laura Ingalls...

Pros: beautifully written, excellent morals, and inspiring to all who read it

Cons: After 8 books, it had to end sometime...

Review: This was the first book of Janette Oke's that I ever read, and I must say that it is a terrific read. I'd never read "inspirational" fiction before, but this story hooked me. Now I devour Janette's stories like chocolate! This book has it...
