Cathy, if you have never read any of Julie's books, A Passion Most Pure is the first book, which will introduce you to Faith, her sisters, and the whole family. Each book has the whole family in it, but centers on one character in the family. You can read A Hope Undaunted alone without reading the others, but so much better to start at the beginning!

Julie, I can assure you I watched the real deal and realized just how old I really am when Mary Ellen got married and had a child. Yikes! I look 30, Carrie? Must have been because of the dark, cloudy day we met...you couldn't see all the wrinkles. LOL! <br /><br />I really appreciate all the encouraging comments to Julie and the time that people took out of their busy schedules to come over and visit. Julie is a wonderful author, and works very hard and deserves every word of encouragement and praise she gets, and we know God gets the ultimate praise for blessing her with the talent she has and the willingness she has to share that with us! God bless you, Julie Lessman, and thank you for blessing us with such spiritual, wonderful, fun books that take us away from it all for awhile!Diana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.com
