Lovely Film,
By
This review is from: Loves Abiding Joy (DVD)
Whenever you see the words "based on" you know the film isn't going to follow the original story...as proves the case in this series. I don't usually like films that are "based on" - particularly if I have loved the original stories - but I did enjoy this series directed by Michael Landon Jr. If you can accept these aren't the stories of the books written by Christian author Janette Oke, they are an enjoyable set of films of love & faith to watch in their own right.In this film: Clark Davis arrives on the LaHaye ranch to pay a visit to his daughter & son-in-law, Missie & Willie & their family - adopted son Jeff (now 17), Matty (now 5) & new arrival baby Kathy. The whole county is suffering because of the drought. Missie has taken a teaching job in Tettsford Junction to help out financially. Tragedy strikes & Missie, torn up with grief leaves her post. Willie accepts the Mayor's job offer of Sheriff, leaving the ranch to be run in the capable hands of his cowboys, Jeff & Clark. The Mayor is a loan-shark who is ruthlessly taking advantage of the drought & the ranchers' plight. He becomes incensed when his only daughter Colette becomes interested in Jeff, & so sets about framing Jeff to get him out of the way. Buy the Series: Love Comes Softly Series, Vol. 1 - Love Comes Softly, Love's Enduring Promise, Love's Long Journey. Love Comes Softly Series, Vol. 2 - Love's Abiding Joy, Love's Unending Legacy, Love's Unfolding Dream.

good wholesome movie...,
By LARRY - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Loves Abiding Joy (DVD)
I've never read the book but I've heard of Janette Oke. I only happened to watch this movie because my partner's nieces wanted to see this. It was like watching a slow movie version of *Little House on the Prairie*. Funny thing is that Michael Landon, Jr. directed this movie. He seemed to have followed in his father's steps.Missie and Willie LaHaye have settled on a ranch, along with children and a small household of help. Willie takes care of their dwindling herd. Missie teaches at the local one-room school. Life seems to be fine and dandy. Soon, Missie's father, Clark, comes into town to visit his daughter. It's a joyful reunion. However, the next morning, the LaHayes discover that their baby died in her sleep overnight. Distraught with grief, Missie declares that she has resigned from teaching. With less income to support the ranch, Willie applies to be the town's sheriff. The mayor, Mr. Doros, is a greedy and dishonest man. He sends Willie on assignments to evict people from their homes. Talk about awkward moments. These people are friends of the LaHayes. Meanwhile, the mayor's daughter, Collette, has struck up a fancy to Willie's adopted son, Jeff. It's an innocent friendship that soon blossom into a young simply romance. Willie struggles with his job as a sheriff. Despite his struggles, he comes out as a natural leader with wise decisions, better than the mayor's. The mayor, resentful of Willie offering alternative ways, begins to think up of a scheme that will bind Willie to comply to his orders without questions. When he discovers a romance between his daughter and Jeff, he devises a plan. *Love's Abiding Joy* is a slow-paced wholesome movie that deals with faith, loyalty, family, death, sacrifice and the like. Exactly what you would see on *Little House on the Prairie*. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful

Heart warming story,
By Oneda Tucson "Oneda" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Loves Abiding Joy (DVD)
I enjoy a clean story with depth. This sequel has romance, sadness, joy, hope, and best of all is not offensive. I recommend it to those who don't care for offensive language, acting, etc., but enjoy family-oriented, heart warming stories set in the horse and buggy days of the past.
