In her own understanding of total devotion to Jesus, Elsie must choose between obeying God by keeping the Sabbath day holy, or dishonoring God in obeying a father, whom she believes, is asking her to violate God s holy Word.

She loved her Lord, she loved His Word, and this love was passed on to His sheep through the writing of by far the best and most Biblical novels you will ever read or see. All the novels are built around Elsie Dinsmore, her immediate family, her extended family, and her neighbors. Miss Finley’s novels sold more than 28,000,000 copies in the last century. This made them among the best selling novels of all time. The astonishing thing about them is that they are chock full of the God breathed words of the Bible. In this day of moral decline, there is a falling away from making the Scriptures the strict guide of our lives. Because of this there is a tendency to look upon any book that depicts a family that lives by the Book as too other worldly for today s readers. Don t you believe it! She proved that it is possible to write a Biblical novel that is a joy to read? Good, inspirational writing is not hindered by the inclusion of the Scriptures that bear directly on the lives of the characters. In fact, you will conclude that the story is much enhanced by the scriptural content. This is because the words of God are not thrust in as an alien element, but are woven into the story as essential threads that make the reading of it a memorable experience. Every God loving family needs these godly books. You, your family, friends, children of all ages will be blessed by page after page as they witness that whole families can live by the Scriptures and be happier than families not so blessed. There is plenty of drama, the kind that engages the heart and soul of the reader, yet without today s emphasis on broken families and broken hearts. You will find warmth, tears, and other elements of a true to life novel. The characters are such as to teach right from wrong without preaching. Wise parents will read the first novel, Elsie Dinsmore to the little ones. As they grow older, and begin to read, they will want to read this first one for themselves. Then they will find pleasure in reading each one to the younger members of the family one after another.

Excerpt from book: Cjrapter Cjjirb. AUNT WEALTHY. Db. Landreth and his party reached Philadelphia in due season, arriving in health and safety, having met with no accident or loss by the way. Mrs. Dinsmore found her father and the family carriage waiting for her and her baby boy at the depot. The others took a hack and drove to the Girard House, where Miss Stanhope, who had been visiting friends in the neighborhood of the city, had appointed to meet them, that they and she might journey westward in company. She was there waiting for them in a private parlor. The meeting was a joyful one to the two ladies, who, though always warmly attached, had now been separated for a number of years.

The travellers were weary with their jour ney, and there was much to hear and tell; so the remainder of that day was given up to rest and talk, a part of the latter being on the arrangement of their plans. Mildred proposed that they should take a week or more for rest and shopping, then turn their faces homeward. ‘ You must allow some time for sight seeing, my dear,” said her husband. ‘ It would be a great shame to carry Annis all the way out to Indiana again without having shown her the lions of Philadelphia.’ ‘ Oh, certainly she must see them,’ said Mildred. ‘ You can show them to her while Aunt Wealthy and I are shopping.’ ‘ You intend, then, to shut me out of that business ? How shall I know that you will not be ruining me ?” ‘ My dear,’ said Mildred, laughi…
