Paula the Waldensian:

By: ab-publishing-eva-lecomte

Book Overview

Into the home of an interesting but self-centered family in old France comes Paula, a young orphaned cousin, from the little village of Villar, in the Waldensian Valley. Though living very simply, tending cows, goats, sheep and rabbits, Paula has been brought up to know the scriptures. Her Lord and His Word are the center of her life, and she can no more keep this good news to herself than she can stop breathing or eating. This causes a good many complications, for her cousins' home was one where "religion" was a forbidden subject, never to be mentioned, and Paula soon found herself forbidden to read her own precious Bible. Paula's loving obedience, her happy friendliness and charm, her overflowing love for everyone she meets, win the hearts of all, family and neighbors alike, and cause many a change in the French countryside.

I loved this story. It's a character building book. I am reading it to my three daughters. warning! You may need a box of tissue at hand.

Beautiful story

Beautiful piece of Christian fiction. Story of a young Waldensian girl who is orphaned and comes to live with her non-Christian uncle and cousins. She proceeds to change the lives of everyone she comes into contact with through her tesitmony and Christlikeness. My 4th grade daughter read and loved it, too. Reading level is appropriate for mid-elementary; story is captivating enough for adults. I cried, but I always cry. Probably would appeal to girls more than boys, but boys need to read this kind of story more.
