Summary: The Best book in the world!
Review: "Faith" by Lori Copeland is the best book. It was my mom's book and I decided to read it. Now I am starting on "Hope." I Find it interesting and hard to beilve that Nicolas (Faiths Husband to be) Came to love so well and call her those little names like Darlin' and Sweetheartand all those other names. I think I like the story because it showed a two people that just met falling in love in two or three months and missing each other so much, i also like it because Faith has her own opinion and is outspoken and won't let anyone sway her from her thoughts. People who have not read this book... READ IT! ...

Review: Faith 19, and her two younger sisters have decided to become mail order brides in order to relieve their aunt of any more expense on their behalf. Faith's adventure has her answering an ad to become the bride of wealthy Nicholas Shepherd in his mid thirties. He resides in Deliverance, TX with his mother. Liza. Faith's unusual arrival in Deliverance is only the beginning of some rather bizarre occurances which prevent the wedding from taking place several times. Instead, Faith tests the patience of Liza her future mother in law by preferring outside, tomboy activities to domestication. Faith cannot figure out what makes this man and his mother tick, since they seem to have plenty of money but refuse to spend it, and although they are rich and well known, they still do not seem very happy with life. As Faith becomes acquainted with the townspeople and church folks, she is especially fond of little five year old Adam, who is blind. His father, Dan, is a young widow with two other children. Since Faith is not married yet, she feels free to help Dan out with the children. This act of kindness causes her great distress from Liza and distrust and jealousy from Nicholas. Although the book introduces many different families, it centers on Faith's adventures as she seeks to establish her worth while wondering if her marriage is ever going to take place. The one single obstacle she cannot overcome is the selfish, moody, controlling mother of her fiance. Liza is a widow who now refuses to relinquish her hold on her only child, Nicholas. Nicholas puts his work and his cattle ranch above anything else, and postpones the wedding once more to prevent leaving a young bride home alone while he is out on a cattle drive. It is during his absence that Faith pursues her dream to start a school for the blind since she cares so deeply for little Adam and wants to teach him to read. Liza does NOT share this dream and in a very ugly scene, she issues an untimatum to Faith that leads to dire consequences. When Nicholas returns, he is shocked, sad and angry. The end result is worth the read, and I am anxious to get to book two in this series, Brides of the West.

Summary: First book in new Brides of the West series!
Review: HeartQuest brings you romantic fiction with a foundation of biblical truth. Adventure, mystery, intrigue, and suspense mingle in our heartwarming stories of men and women of faith striving to build a love that will last a lifetime. With the matrimonial prospects in her little Michigan town virtually nonexistent, 19-year-old Faith--along with her sisters, Hope and June--answers an ad for mail-order brides. Before she knows it, she's on her way to Deliverance, Texas, determined to make a success of her marriage to wealthy rancher Nicholas Shepherd. But from the moment she arrives in Deliverance, sparks begin to fly between Faith, a strong-willed tomboy, and her prospective husband--a man with a pretty strong will of his own! And then there's Liza, Nicholas's mother, who is anything but thrilled that her son has chosen a mail-order bride. After a string of wedding postponements and a slew of interfering people, a union between Faith and Nicholas begins to look less and less likely. In the meantime, Faith and Nicholas are beginning to care for one another--but is their matching stubbornness destined to forever be a barrier between them? Best-selling author Lori Copeland brings you a lighthearted story of romance and faith in this first book of her new historical romance series. Lori began writing in 1982 and to date has published more than 40 books. During her career, she has been the recipient of numerous awards, most recently the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for Love and Laughter. Will appeal to fans of Gilbert Morris, Francine Rivers, Lawana Blackwell, and any historical romance reader.

Review: I am a sucker for 'pioneer' stories, but it aggravates me when the vernacular used in the book doesn't match how the people of that era would've actually spoken. The rhythem of the phrases, just the way they put things. If you want to know how people back then spoke and conversed with each other, just read any and all books by Janette Oke. This book, though, was worth the purchase all in all, but am still somewhat disappointed. Probably won't be buying anymore "Brides of the West' books.

Summary: Not worth reading
Review: I did not like this book. My biggest complaint with it is that the plot and character development is very poor. The development of a relationship between Faith and Nicholas is also poor. I would not recommend Faith or June. The only one worth reading is Hope.

Review: I have very little time to read and this book I read in 2 days! The way Lori Copeland wrote this book, you feel like you are standing right there in Deliverence, Texas looking at the whole scene. I felt captivated by the all of the characters. When they experienced joy or sorrow, I also felt it. While reading this book you will cry alot. Mostly because you are laughing so hard! "Faith" is a perfect title to this book. The main character, who is Faith, has the most innocent faith in God. Almost a child's faith. We all need to experience that. I have already recommended this book to friends and want everyone to know, this book is well worth your time to read it! You will walk away feeling refreshed and joyful! God Bless!
