A Prairie Girl’s Faith, The Spiritual Legacy Of Laura Ingalls Wilder

The Spiritual Path of a Legendary Storyteller……

Drawing on his years of research, Stephen Hines offers the first in-depth look at the faith journey of Laura Ingalls Wilder, one of America's most famous pioneer women and beloved authors.

With her extraordinary God-given pluck, the author of the epic Little House series survives the harshness of the frontier life–from the heartbreak of sudden crop losses to murderous storms to unrelenting loneliness. Yet in every season, Laura found strength through her relationship with God.

Now, seven generations later, Laura's insights about work and rest, trust in the face of hardship, and the value of faith are more relevant than ever. Through Laura's discerning newspaper pieces as an early advice columnist, interviews with people who knew her personally, and extensive investigation by Hines, we witness an authentic faith that comes not from pretending all is well but from growing through difficult times.

A PRAIRIE GIRL'S FAITH also opens a wider window into the lives of pioneers as it offers a revealing look at the beliefs, character, and culture into which Laura was born and grew to maturity.
