4.0 out of 5 stars Janette Oke... Aug 8 2002
By "georgia-cowgirl"
Format:Paperback
Janette Oke in this book is wonderful. She places infront of me the examples I need to know. All of us need to know. most people in this world today would not be such wonderful examples. I do not know of many myself. Showing me the way to see the positive in the negative, I find that this is a very special book, indeed.

2.0 out of 5 stars I thought this book was pretty sad..... April 14 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
....and the reason I thought it was pretty sad is that I can see why the poor girl is so self-conscious and feels so inferior. Her life is one continuous struggle in which she receives practically no assistance from anyone. Her husband is actually the worst of everybody for neglecting her! I say that because he never seems to be around for her, never seems to notice her feelings, and the only way she overcomes her inferiority (at the very end of the book) is by reading- reading, mind you, because he scarcely talks to her- one of his sermons. Without much support from Austin, Anna has to do everything for herself. They are extremely poor and out in the middle of nowhere, so you will see how, out of necessity, Anna invents the down jacket and padded diapers, and patches Austin's shirts with flour sacks. The missionary society who is supposed to help the couple is also pretty dumb, because they send Anna a barrelful of fancy summer clothes in winter. These just a couple examples of the incompetency of everybody around Anna. I think the problem is that Janette Oke overworks the fact that the missionaries are poor, until Anna's life seems absurd. I felt sorry for Anna and annoyed at Austin the whole time for not doing anything to help her out, so I don't consider this a very uplifting book. I think the only value in it is that people who are sad can read it and then feel better about their own woes because Anna has everything so much harder.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly touching book Jan 1 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Janette Oke has done ot again! This was an excellent book about one woman's stuggle with her feelings of inadequacy. Anna Trent truly did not realize how much talent she had to use for God's glory or how much quiet strength and support she gave to her husband. Despite all this, she still tried to do her absolute best for God. This book taught me that love and a humble spirit really go a long way. I LOVED IT!!
