Surprised by Oxford film

 

Sweet yet thought provoking movie. One for the intellectuals and philosophers. The deeper meaning of life, figuring out who you are and what you're looking for - for most of us a lifelong endeavor. Learning to trust and have faith. Very real characters, easy to accept them and identify with their feelings. In the end the most important lesson of all! Beautifully filmed and acted.

Brides of the Old West: Five Romantic Adventures from the American Frontier

by Darlene Franklin, Peggy Darty, Sally Laity, Nancy Lavo, Donita Kathleen Paul

Christian Historical romance, with strong examples of faith and redemption throughout. Not short stories (which is unusual for a collection), each had something in it that had significance to me personally - lesson and comfort.

All strong women who encounter tough obstacles in their journey, each has a connection with God that is learned or strengthened along the way.  Some teach their new partner, some are taught.  All of these stories are of value to the reader, and written so that you don't want to put it down or have the book end.  I highly recommend this book. These are new authors to me. I couldn't pick a favorite if I had to. Would make a great graduation present!
