From Goodreads
The beloved author of the Little House books was not only one of America's great pioneer storytellers but a woman of vibrant faith.
A Prairie Girl's Faith provides the first extended, in depth discussion of the Christian faith of one of America's most beloved pioneer women--Laura Ingalls Wilder. Although the faith of the Ingalls' family pervades books in the Little House series, the more specific details of Laura's faith have never been fully explored. It took extraordinary pluck for anyone to survive the harshness of frontier life--from the heartbreak of sudden crop losses to murderous storms to unrelentling loneliness. This book reveals how in surviving, the brave Laura drew not just on her character, but found encouragement, strength, and hope in her relationship with God.My thoughts
I was an avid viewer of the Little House on the Prairie series back in my youth and watched it several times over the years since, when the series has aired on TV. It was a proper feel good, heart warming series based on people with a strong Christian faith and moral values
The book is based mostly on Laura Ingalls Wilder, the writer of the Little House on the Prairie series and delves deeper into her link with religion, than the series of books goes into. The book links her family into the life that they all lived living in the frontier and all that they coped with.
I enjoyed the book and the amount of info that the author divulged to us through his investigation into the life of Laura and her family.
It's well worth a read.
