THE WIDE, WIDE WORLD....IS A GREAT CHRISTIAN NOVEL! OTHER THAN UNCLE TOM'S CABIN...THIS NOVEL WAS THE MOST WIDELY CIRCULATED AMERICAN STORY OF ITS TIME. 710 PAGES IN PRINT! A LONG...BUT GREAT READ!
So the story goes....Soppy little Ellen Montgomery is sent off to live with her cold, stern aunt on a farm, while her beloved mother goes abroad for her health. Ellen's only solace comes in Christian friends who teach her to love Jesus and turn the other cheek with patience and forbearance, although she's told to consider it sinful to love her mother more than her Lord.
A truly Christian novel, and amid all the exhortations about goodness, honoring Christ, avoiding pride and passion, etc., I must warn the reader that it gets in some gratuitous Catholic bashing....par for the day it was written!
Although a very long book of 710 pages....it is a good read!!!
