A Measure of Mercy Audiobook

" I'm sorry to say that this book was forgettable for me. It was sweet in a few places, and I did really like a few of the characters....but I found myself struggling to finish it....and skipping over some of it. It was definately very ummmm preachy. I love a good Christian romance but to me this one was a bit over the top. "

" There are A LOT of characters in this book to try & keep straight. It took me a little while to remember who everyone is as the story unfolded. I like Snelling's subject and thought that she did an excellent job of bringing the Norwegian culture into the book. "

" Boring, mostly. "

" A; Astrid finally gets to stretch her legs and live. She goes to Chicago for medical training and is given the idea of becoming a missionary in Africa. Her heart is torn between home, the man she's getting to know, and what God's calling actually may be. The book ends in a 'to be continued' fashion with her embarking on a train to Georgia for missionary training. "

" Ok I like a good christen romance as much as the next romance seeking mom but this was too much. I think they prayed in this book 20 times before the first chapter had even ended. WHo does that? It was not realistic even for back then. It bugged me too much....I just can't read anymore of this author I guess. I couldn't finish it and had to put it down. I wish there was a rating for tried to read it and couldn't. "

" 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! "

" 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 "

" its a very good book "

" So far the book was hard to get started and keep my attention. I'm not far into it, however it's getting better. I hope to finish it soon "

" I really enjoyed the medical/science portion of the book, but would have enjoyed it even more with some romance. The romance in this book was almost nill. I don't even want to read the rest! I'm afraid they'll be just as lacking and waste my time! "

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

" Just finished...Great book, Great writing...but left me hanging with so many unanswered questions! I guess I have to read the next book now. :) I love the family she has created! "

" 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. "

" I always enjoy her stories and I love to lose myself in the culture of North Dakota in the early 1900s. "

" It was harder to read and follow at the beginning than her other books. "

" 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. "

" 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!! "

" This is the first of Lauraine Snelling's books that I read. The characters interweave in many more of her books. Easy reading. Fun characters to follow. Very pleasant story lines. I enjoy her books for an easy story when my mind is filled with too much heavy thinking. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" I enjoyed this book. There are a lot of characters to figure out that are previously introduced in another series, but this was book one in this series. "

" Loved this story from this series. Such a good clean story of pioneer imigrants developing the land in the Dakotas. This story left a hanging ending...Is there another one in the series? Gotta find out! "

" Love this series! I have read all of the Red River Series groups. "

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

" Listened to and it was fine for that. "

" 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. "

" 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. "
