A Measure of Mercy (Abridged) Audiobook

" I was very disappointed as this book just seemed to go nowhere... Certain characters were not developed fully--Joshua Landsvard, for one. I felt like the whole book was just a "teaser" for you to read the 2nd one. I have never read Lauraine Snelling before and I'm not too jazzed if this is indicative of her writing. "

" A Measure of Mercy by Lauraine Snelling was an inspirational book that made you think about lifes meaning and all the good things we are able to do if we work together and think about others. "

" I did not like it first; it seemed like it took awhile to get going. Astrid's doubt when she first got to the hospital was annoying too. I know it's hard to trust God sometimes but she seemed to completely forget who He was. I expected the climax to come much earlier but all in all, it was a decent read. I plan to read the next in the series to see how it ends "

" I usually enjoy Snelling's simple, nicely written historical novels, but this one was a bit harder to get through because it got way to 'Christian' for me. Labelled as 'Christian Reading' by the library, there were fairly lengthy passages of prayers in this book that weren't in the others, and which I found too forced. Although there has always been emphasis on living Godly lives in Snelling's books, and there has always been a reasonably fitting Christian bent to the story lines, this book came too close to going over the edge for me. I'm hoping that the sequels come back to center for those of us not in the Christian Right. "

" Listened to and it was fine for that. "

" Another great book about the people of Blessing ... I love that this series keeps going and going, but doesn't get old, I really feel like I know these people. "

" A very good read. Anxious to read the next one in this series. "

" First in the Home to Blessing series, though it's essentially still the same story of the Bjorklunds in the Dakota's. This series begins in about 1904. Wonderful! "

" Boring, mostly. "

" I enjoyed this book but it took a little while to get into. Pretty predictable but I like the other books about this family so I enjoyed reading about the characters I have grown to love. "

" Interesting series....looking forward to reading the rest. "

" Though this is supposedly the start of a new series, this book apparently continues from a previous book or series, and it is hard to enjoy completely with no knowledge of previous happenings, which are often referred to. "

" Pleasant and simple story. Good for the whole family. loved the reliance on God, but got a little tired of the Africa angst. "

" I liked the fact that this book continued the story about Astrid's life in becoming a doctor. Astrid had many decisions to make including whether to go to Africa and be a missionary. "

" its a very good book "

" This book didn't hold my interest as much as some of other Snelling's books. I thought the ending was abrubt and incomplete, and it didn't leave me with the feeling that I wanted to move on to her next book in the series. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed "A Measure of Mercy". It's one of my favorite Lauraine Snelling novels. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. "

" Nothing out of the ordinary to mention about this book. A quick read. "

" Very good book. Interesting and hard to put down. She is a writer that I have enjoyed every book of hers that I have read. "

" It was an interesting story of faith, guidance, and love mingled in a great story line! A very well-written book by Lauraine Snelling!! "

" Be warned: this is part of a new Red River series so there is no resolution at all. Disappointing for that reason. "

" This one started out better than others I've read by Snelling, but it sort of fizzled toward the end. Could be beacause it's the first of a series. Will be reading the second book. "

" This was a very pleasant prairie story, of hard work, of tragedy, and of faith. Inspirational and thought provoking, the only disappointment is that it really didn't "end" ... but rather came to a junction, which requires the next books in the series to complete. "

" its a very good book "

" Listened to and it was fine for that. "

" I loved how it told the story of Astrid's journey through becoming a doctor I'm so excited to read the next one and find about her and Joshua!! I hope they get married!! "

" First in the Home to Blessing series, though it's essentially still the same story of the Bjorklunds in the Dakota's. This series begins in about 1904. Wonderful! "

" Nothing out of the ordinary to mention about this book. A quick read. "

" The heroine's crazy act was kind of off putting. I think I was just reading this for the romance and not any moral messages. I got bored, but I may try to read this again another time. "
