 Love's Enduring Promise November 26, 2008
Being the first book I read of the series, I just hungered for more...of the wonderful story of the days when people helped and loved others.
Mrs. Oke writes in a way, you never tire of reading...very hard to put the book down...
good story November 4, 2008
My husband has read this book, I ordered it for him and he said it is a good story.
No main plot, but entertaining & timeworthy.... August 10, 2008
I agree with someone's previous review that Love's Enduring Promise has several sub-plots, but no main plot. Given that the author and the author's husband both have ministerial backgrounds, I found it interesting that one of the book's sub-plots included the first hired community pastor ("the highly trained Rev. Watson") being a mismatch for the congregation. The church committee members met with Watson and released him, excused him from the pulpit (chapter 38). This is a true-to-life incident that does happen from time to time. Of the three Oke books I have read, this is probably the more mundane. However, I do plan to see if I can locate the movie, and compare with the book.
The Adult Little House Continues January 24, 2008

I read 3 books by Janette Oke over the last 2 weeks. They are really easy, escape literature. If you liked Little House On the Prairie when you were growing up these are the adult versions. I discovered them via the movies. I really like to read the book before I see the movie and when I saw an advertisement about these movies I felt I should read the books. I have enjoyed them quite a bit. The chapters are short so I can get one in on breaks between my work around the house.
Love's Enduring Promise is about Marty and Clem's family and how they are growing up. Not quite as exciting as book one but still a very good read.
These are Christian Literature. One of the things I enjoyed the most about them is that they really seem to reflect how hard life was then. The work was endless and the tools were hard to come by. These people really did have to do for themselves and make do the best they could.
Love's Enduring Promise is Endearing December 19, 2007
What can I say, people reading the book expecting to see the same story as the movie will be disappointed. The plot and story that you find within the movie is a completely different story. The book and the movie only share the title and the characters and that is it. Missie doesn't have to choose between Willie and some rich guy, Willie has no little brother and plays a very minor role in the overall book.
The book covers 13 years, and it is a rather short book to cover that length of time. The book picks up 3 years after the first book. Missie is five years old and the book ends with her wedding day.
There is no central plot, but a combination of plots woven together that Marty sees and experiences. Everything to Wanda and Cam's "different" son, the new teacher and pastor, her adopted daughters growing up, Ma Graham's son falling in love with an Indian girl, and that is just the tip of the heart seen in this book.
