Title: The Courtship of Sarah McLean
Author: Mr. and Mrs. Steven Castlebury
Genre(s): Christian Fiction
Rating:
Romance Content: Nothing inappropriate; the main theme of the story is courtship and marriage, but it is portrayed in a Biblical and God-honoring way (no kissing, holding hands, hugging, etc between un-married couples).
Recommended age range: 10-100! 🙂
My Review:
Okay, can I just say that this is an AMAZING book? It was sooo good, and had an accurate portrayal of Biblical courtship.
My parents have decided that courtship is the best way of action for us (their children) and I was happily amazed to find a good, sound book that shows this. It showed Sarah’s struggles and triumphs, which I thought was a great thing. I would not say that it was un-realistic in any way at all; I know many people who have the same standards as Sarah and her family. It was a blessing to see how Sarah and her siblings helped out around the house with a good attitude.
I appreciate the good message that this book gives; I have to say that it is the first book I have found like it (which is pretty sad).
I don’t know how else to contact you, so I am leaving a comment here — you won the giveaway from Maidens for Modesty…..Congratulations! If you email hymnhistorystudies@gmail.com I can send you the information to collect the printable =)
Okay, thanks! 🙂 I’ll email you.
Oh…I love this book! It was the first (and only, regretfully) book that was a “love story” that I found. The virtues in this book are greatly encouraging, and the writing is wonderful. Though, I must say my favourite book is the third (I think) called Waiting for her Isaac (I think….I apparently don’t think so good this late at night =P)
Great! I know some people who own the other books in this series, so I hope to borrow the rest from them soon. 🙂
