Summary: The Book is was a good book
Review:

This book was ok. I read it with plaesure as I laughed at the accents of the German nuns and how demanding yet leniant they were. The book gives a strong feeling of how faith in god can put up a church as Homer Smith did in this story.

The one thing that estonished me about this book was how the man Homer Smith kept working even after he found out the nuns weren't going to pay him for his work and that god sent him to help the nuns. I really thaught that Homer would have left the farm when he went back in the thaughts of being owned like a slave.

This book shows a great sense of how much faith people put into the beliefs of god even though they don't base the book on it .

I think this book could be read by anyone. It's an easy to read, short and educational story. If I was anyone I would sit down read it and grab a box of cockies to spare.

Summary: Short but Sweet
Review: I enjoyed reading Lilies of the Field but it had a major flaw. The book is so short I read 3/4 of the book waiting in line. Though puting that aside, I enjoyed the book and its reasonable characters. Then again, the fast pacing of the book left me guessing about some of the characters. On a final note, I came to thinking that this book is, per se "A mordern fairy tale". I would recomend this book to someone wiling to sit and read for and hour(two at the most).

Summary: Anyone can be used by God
Review: Im' so glad I finally was able to read this book . It is about Homer Smith, an ex-GI who is drifting from place to place until God decides to use him to build a church for some German-born nuns who have come to America with the dream of working with troubled boys from the inner city. It is a powerful book that tells of Homer's resistance to God's plan and his ultimate surrender and devotion to it. And it is also the story of Sister Marthe Maria and her faith in God's provision. When God touches one heart, and that heart responds, a whole community can change regardless of race or religious denomination. When I finished the book I understood the freedom that comes from knowing that God takes care of us like he takes care of the "Lillies of the Field."

Summary: Touching and Easy to Read
Review: This is a touching novel. It is easy to read and very enjoyable. The characters are well discribed and easy to associate with even if they are of very different backgrounds than most, and make a very unlikely group of friends in the novel. I would recommend this novel to any, especially younger readers. It has a lot to teach people of all ages, and is entertaining at the same time.
