Customer Reviews

I have read this and loved it. I have also read many Christmas and winter themes recently; also autumn themes. I would give five (5) stars to all of these. THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET, PARTNERS, HOMING, CRIMSON MOUNTAIN, AND ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. I love GRACE LIVINGSTON HILL'S WRITINGS! She is great! G.L.

All Hill's books deserve 5 stars

Grace Livingston Hill's books remain popular despite their age. The Christian message is strong and the romances are delightful and tasteful. I love Substitute Guest because it has a Christmas theme. If you have never read GLH and you like Christian romance, these are a must. Despite being old fashioned, they are a wonderful read.

Substitute Guest

The setting is a remote farm during a Christmas Eve blizzard. Into the home of father, mother, daughter and son comes a stranded traveler. How he ends up staying with them over Christmas, in the place of an invited guest who did not come, makes for a lovely, warm story that describes the celebration of Christmas as it should be. I wanted to move in with this family! The perfect Christmas story.

Faith and Character

I loved this book and its characters. If you ever wanted to accidentally stumble into another world than your own, you would do good to meet the family that Alan Monteith meets. May you meet the Savior that Alan comes to know.

Truly a heartwarming book.

I've read and re-read it until I had to replace my book! I first read this book in the mid-70's and still love it.

One of my favorite Hill books

This book is wonderful, and once you finish it, you will want to read it again. It is one of those that makes you feel warm all over! I highly recommend it to anyone to read during the holidays- because the setting is at Christmas time.
