I was thinking it would be fun to post a little book review of a favorite book of mine once a week or so this month. With the cold weather coming (at least here in the northern hemisphere!) it is always nice to have a few good books on hand. So here is the first one.....
Aunt Jane's Hero
By Elizabeth Prentiss
1871
"A Portrait of a Christ-Centered Home"
Another wonderful book by the author of Stepping Heavenward!
This is the story of Aunt Jane's hero, Horace Wheeler, a poor and at first, worldly, young man ; and of Aunt Jane, a prayerful, kind-hearted, Christian widow.
Her prayers continually followed Horace during his life and after he enlisted in the Civil War where he became a different person spiritually, and physically. Her godly wisdom had a huge impact on him; she was a true Titus 2 woman. This is a story I've read over many times, and I always come away with new encouragement to be a goldy woman, a deeper understanding of the godly home, and the importance of prayer.

Thanks, Alyssa! I have not read this one! I loved "Stepping Heavenward" and like to read it periodically, as it applies to a woman all through the ages of her life, so I can relate to it differently each time. I look forward to reading "Aunt Jane's Hero"! I am also planning a new feature of Book Review(s) on Saturdays! I am excited to start, as you have really encouraged me by your wonderful review!
Your friend,

Alyssa,
I have started an aStore on my site and am wondering if I may use your description of this book for it, ("This is the story of Aunt Jane's hero, Horace Wheeler, a poor and at first, worldly, young man ; and of Aunt Jane, a prayerful, kind-hearted, Christian widow.
Her prayers continually followed Horace during his life and after he enlisted in the Civil War where he became a different person spiritually, and physically. Her godly wisdom had a huge impact on him." It's fine if it's not ok, too. I am so looking forward to reading this book. Thanks again for sharing.

Yes, you may use my description of Aunt Jane's Hero:
"This is the story of Aunt Jane's hero, Horace Wheeler, a poor and at first, worldly, young man ; and of Aunt Jane, a prayerful, kind-hearted, Christian widow.
Her prayers continually followed Horace during his life and after he enlisted in the Civil War where he became a different person spiritually, and physically. Her godly wisdom had a huge impact on him." ~ Alyssa W.
Thank you for asking!
One thing I wondered if you had noticed...when we click on one of the books you have in your sidebar 'store' we can't read all of the description since it's cut off. Maybe there is a different format that would fit on the side...
Love,
Alyssa :)
