Leota's Garden

Wow, God is Good!

What a FABULOUS book! Rivers is a powerful author, enabling her readers to be taken away with the words. I could not turn the pages fast enough!!! She uses a simple story to show the power of God in His full glory! Great lessons to be learned from her book. You will laugh and cry all at the same time! I can't wait to read others!!!!

ANOTHER FRANCINE RIVERS MIRACLE

This is my fourth Francine Rivers book to read and each time she goes to the very depth of one's soul and sprituality. Her books reflect today's issues with God's thoughts. I've dispaired when her books ended and this one was no different. I truly have thanked God for Francine. I look forward to the next one.

Rivers plants a memorable garden

Francine does it again in this exciting book about relationships with family, friends, and God. Like her other stories, it almost makes you want to go through adversity yourself in order to be a stronger person and closer to our Heavenly Father.

AN OKAY BOOK

I was disappointed in this Francine Rivers' book. I absolutely loved three of her other books, but LEOTA'S GARDEN didn't seem to really grab my attention. I didn't care for the characters. I would highly recommend Rivers' other books, though!

This is a wonderful book with a powerful message that doesn't hi

This is a wonderful book with a powerful message that doesn't hit readers over the head with it. The characters are engaging and the plot fast-paced. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

my all time favorite. to be like leota wow! the story has a twist i never saw coming and it saddened me but the ending joyous. i loved it. you won't be sorry you read this unless you are looking for violence, sex, or cursing. it just isn't there. thought provoking. excellent read.

love this author

not my favorite francine rivers book but very good

sappy

I struggled through this because it was rated highly, hoping something would happen. It's not very believable. Heavy on the Bible verses and Christian message. The message is good, but it's just too much of a sappy tearjerker for my taste.

Good book but too preachy

This was a good storyline, but the author had the characters praying for their every thought and action throughout the book. l'm a believer and I believe in prayer, but it became a bit much. Particularly a Halloween scene when Annie, the main character, sets the scene for telling the children scary stories, but instead, begins telling them Bible stories...which by the way terrifies the children.

This is a wonderful book. It's a must read!

I couldn't put this book down. I didn't know how this book was going to turn out there were some surprises in it. I didn't want the book to end. All good thing happen in gods time.

Leota's Garden

A pretty good book. I didn't realize it was written by a religious author so it had a lot of praying and speaking to god in it. Despite that the story line was just ok.

Sweet Sweet Story!

I loved this ebook! A great heart-felt story along with a life lesson of family appreciation and God's miraculous grace and mercy. <3 it!

Great story

Rivers is one of my favorite Christian fiction authors. I recommend any book written by her. This is an excellent example of how a person's perspective can taint relationships and lead to repeated behavior due to misunderstandings.

there is hope

i totally enjoyed reading this book and it's one that give hope. it thought me to just trust God to fix situations his way all.over again. it teaches us to have faith and rely on God to take care of matters his way.
