Teoksen tarkat tiedotThe Dream (tekijä: Gilbert Morris) (2006)
   - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Morris was the first Christian fiction writer I read and this the first series. I picked the first in the series (The Homeplace) up in a Christian bookshop and enjoyed it so much that I bought the rest of the series of 4. The story is set around a Christian family living in a simple rural area. It is about the various trials they experience due to death and absence of key members of the family for various reasons. I especially liked the sense of community encapsulated in the series and that everything is linked back to the strong Christian faith of the lead characters. There is also a romantic storyline running throughout which doesn't take centre stage but is another reason to keep reading. I read the series twice over the last 5 years and it has become a favourite. Recommended for anyone who wants to read something wholesome that keeps the attention. (  ) sparkleandchico | Aug 31, 2016 |  (2006) (SERIES) This second book of the Singing River series finds now seventeen-year-old Lanie continuing to be both mother and father to her four younger siblings, while struggling with matters of faith and the heart. Her town of Fairhope is turned upside down when the interim preacher roars in on a motorcycle, changing even the most hardened of hearts. Though not as strong as the first book in the series, The Homeplace, The Dream follows the lives of the Freeman children as they struggle to survive life without a father during the Great Depression. The characters introduced lend a freshness to the story that add new dimension to the familiar interactions of the townfolk, particularly with the arrival of the young preacher. The Dream has an "Andy Griffith-like" quality to it, and draws the reader to root for the Freeman family through the good and the bad.

Lanie Freeman had to grow up fast. Her mother died when she was just fourteen and now her father is in prison. The oldest of five children, seventeen-year-old Lanie has transformed into a surrogate mother ... and a beautiful young woman. Not only must she keep her family together, but lately she has drawn the attention of Roger Langley, son of the richest man in town. Tensions run deep between the Freemans and the Langleys. And on top of it all, Louise Langley accuses Lanie of trying to snatch away her handsome fianc,? Dr. Owen Merrit. Dr. Merrit has long helped out the Freeman children, but Lanie isn't sure he even notices that she's no longer a child. Then Fairhope is thrown into chaos when the new preacher arrives-wearing blue jeans and riding a motorcycle. In only a month, dashing Brother Colin Ryan shakes the entire town to the core of their beliefs. With the town embattled over the preacher, her family struggling to survive, and her own heart in turmoil, Lanie seeks solace in her writing. She pours out her heart to God, trusting his promises. But when things fall apart at every turn, will Lanie continue to trust? The Dream continues the inspiring saga of one woman's struggle to hold together her family and follow her dreams in the midst of America's darkest hour. No library descriptions found. |
