A Prairie Girl's Faith: The Spiritual Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder

I am a huge Little House on the Prairie fan.  I pretty much have all the books there are available so I get really excited when there is a new book that comes out.  Coming this February you will be able to get A Prairie Girl's Faith by Stephen W. Hines.  I was blessed with the opportunity to review the book and I was so pleased with everything about it!

As a child I learned my Bible lessons by heart, in the good old-fashioned way, and once won the prize for repeating correctly...verses from the Bible.  -Laura Ingalls Wilder

The author of this book, Stephen Hines has definitely done his research.  He gives a very in-depth look at the spiritual journey of a beloved Author.

As you read the Little House books you can see hints of the Ingalls' family faith sprinkled throughout.  Think of some of the songs pa played on his fiddle or the family not being allowed to do anything on Sunday.  This book brings to light the deep faith that Laura had and plenty of information about pioneer life.

One chapter I especially liked was "The Church Potluck".  The author included quite a few recipes which was a very nice touch.  I also loved that each chapter began with a quote by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

This book will be going on my shelf of favorites with all my other Little House on the Prairie books.  If you or a loved one is a fan of the Ingalls' family this book is a must!

***Thanks so much to Blogging for Books for providing me a copy of this awesome book in exchange for my honest review and thanks to the author for writing a faith based book of one of my all time favorite people!
