Customer Reviews

One of the best Elsie books ever!

This is the first of the "A Life of Faith" series that I have read, and I loved it. I read it all in one night, and it was so interesting!Since I have read all of the original Elsie books I understood it all, and they made Elsie much more human. She had her bad days and flashes of temper, but she is always ready to apologize and makes a much better role model than the original Elsie.I highly recommend this book, and all of the other Life of Faith books. I can't wait to read them all!

Battle at Ion

Elsie has had a major influence on my life. The Travillas come home and find destruction. Then, an old enemy by the name of Tom Jackson, meets them again by a ku Klux klan attack on Ion plantation. It was a great book. I read that one over and over.

The Best Elsie Book Ever!

This book is really great. Read it!

Going home

The war is over and Elsie and her family have returned home only to find hearts are still bitter over the war and not very many in the south are willing to join the south with the union again.Love is the main factor as the Dinsmores and Travillas open their hearts to everyone even family members that are against them.

morals

The Elsie Dinsmore books have great moral and my daghter loves to read them. She been making quite a fuss about not owning the book . Acording to her thier the best books and should all be given a 5-star rating. Thow Elsie's tender mercies is good in morals it is also good at showing the destructoin of war and I think the 6+7th books are exellent to help somone who is having voilance problems
