Consider the Lilies

Hannah of Fort Bridger #2

by Al Lacy

Picking up where the first book in the Fort Bridger series leaves off, Consider the Lilies finds Hannah's wagon train twenty days from Fort Bridger as she deals with her children's and her own grief over her husband's death. In Fort Bridger, the Solomons make many friends. Yet there is one man, embittered by the Civil War, who hates Hannah because her husband fought on the Union side of the war, and because she is a strong woman who still plans to run the general store. In a fit of temper, this man, Alex Patterson, sets a fire that destroys Hannah's store, and seemingly her future. But just when Hannah is about to give up, she is reminded to cling to God's promises that he will provide. Soon she sees God's hand upon her life. As a result, Hannah is able to recover...and even lead Alex Patterson to Christ through her example of forgiveness.

I loved this second book in the Hannah of Fort Bridger series!! After going on to Fort Bridger after the death of her beloved husband, Hannah learns how to even more trust in her faith and how to move on to her new life. I love how these stories are in the perspective of Hannah, and we get to understand her thought process as everything seems to fall to pieces around her. It just goes to show that God will provide for us, and sometimes there is a bigger reason to what He is doing. I do think that reading the back of the book gave the ending away a little, so it was a little predictable that Alex would burn down the store, but the story was still very exciting that it kept me reading to find out what came of everything. Highly recommend this series!!!

The second in the series. Basically, a good story but a bit preachy in places with character that are too perfect.

Annoying at points, but still fun to read.

Once again Al & JoAnna Lacy have written a top notch historical Christian novel showing faith at work yet weaving the spell of the westward expansion of the United States.
