Summary: A modern-day classic!
Review: As an avid reader of children's literature, I was thrilled to find that Mission City Press had taken the essential elements of Ms. Finley's much-admired books and updated them for modern readers. Ordinarily I am not a fan of "revisions" but these are so well done as to actually improve on the originals! (There are family trees, historical forewords and add'l info. in the first four books of this series that I have read - most helpful!) For fans of Dear America, American Girls, Christy, Little House on the Prairie, Anne of Green Gables and Little Women - I can assure you that this first book in the terrific series is in their fine company. I highly recommend their website as a safe, entertaining and uplifting place for girls to ask question, learn crafts and Scriptures, and grow in their Christian faith - and it's so beautiful and fun! ... I cannot say enough about these fascinating "can't put 'em down" books and how relevant they are to girls and young women today. Keep at it, Mission City Press - can hardly wait for Books 5 and 6 in the series - plus the Christmas book and journal!

Summary: Elsie's Endless Wait
Review: I thought this was a great book. The reason i liked the book was it showed a little girl loving God to the fullest, and not letting any one get in her way. This book shows Elsie Dinmore's walk with God or Faith. ith God. I think this is a great book for girls ages 10 to 14. This book also shows that you can be seven and have a stronger belief in God than someone who is twenty. There are eight in this series including this one so take a little time and read these great books.

Summary: Classic Still-Must Have For Family Library!
Review: Our whole family can hardly wait till the next night to read aloud from the new Elsie series. We picked up a paper back from the original series last summer and read it. Although we enjoyed the story we were so glad to find the newer versions by Mission City Press. While these new versions are chocked full of history they are much easier for our children to understand as the mid 1800's language has been updated. Elsie is an excellent influence on our daughters! We are all chomping-at-the-bit for the newest releases and the Christmas book. We highly recommend these books as a must for your personal library and are collecting them for our own library. We also have provided a complete(to date) series for our public library.

Summary: A great Book if you like Christian reading!
Review: This book is about a young girl named Elsie Dinsmore. If you like christian books, and books that go back in time; this book is for you. Elsie is a young girl, about 8 years old. She lives with her grandma, grandpa, aunts, and uncles. She lives with them because her mother dies when she was a little girl, and her father is away in Europe on business. Her grandparents think it was a mistake that she was even born, and neither of them trat her very well. Her aunts and uncles also arn't very nice to her. Read this book to find out how Elsie deal with all her troubles and how God has helped her through everything. This is the first book in the series. It was so good I can't wait to read the next.

What i liked about this book: I am really into all the christian books, and this one really shows you how God can help you through anything and everything. This is one of those books that you just don't want to put down. I also like how it goes back in time. It doesn't happen n present day.

There is nothing about this book that I didn't like. All round i though this was a really great book!

Summary: What an Awesome Book
Review: This book is about an eight year old girl named Elsie Dinsmore. Her mom passed away right after she was born. Her dad couldn't handle the pain so he moved away. Horace (Elsie's father) left Elsie to be taken care of at his parent's home. There Elsie is faced with many problems. Elsie turns her problems to God and he helps her through them. All Elsie wants is for her dad to come home. She wonders, will he come home, will he love her? I love how in this book Elsie looks to god amongst all her problems, and how He always helps her through. This is the best book that I have ever read. There is not one single thing in this book that I didn't like. This book is the first of eight books in the Elsie Dinsmore Series, A Life of Faith. I plan to read the next seven of these books. This book reminds me a lot of the Bible. It is all about God and it tells true things about what God does for you. This is a great book for girls thirteen and older. But I bet boys could enjoy this book as well. This is the best book that I have ever read and I hope you get a chance to read it.
