The family suffered cruel scorn, rejection, and deprivation. All the while, Bennet Armstrong hypocritically portrayed himself to others as flawlessly pious.Thankfully, a devout mother bridged the gap, loving her children, telling them Bible stories, teaching them to respect their father, and praying fervently for their safety and salvation.Annie Armstrong's prayers were heard.Joseph came to trust his kind heavenly Father who helped him love and forgive and rise above his circumstances to a life of purpose and peace.This story, sometimes heartrending, sometimes heartening, points to the one true hope for all man's miseries -- Jesus Christ, the true...

I really enjoyed this story. The main character was someone I could relate to to some extent, and I loved how his heart for the Lord came through so much. His mother was the kind of long-suffering person I admire (although I don’t know that I agree with all her decisions), and the story was well-written and engaging. I did find it a bit moralistic, though, which was somewhat disappointing. Overall, this was a good story; it’s not my favorite of Kauffman’s titles, but it was worth reading. I came away encouraged to keep seeking the Lord no matter what, and that, I think, is worth something! Recommended, if you enjoy Christian fiction. ( )
