The Elsie Dinsmore: A Life of Faith series is an adaptation of the best-selling 19th century Elsie Dinsmore novels written by Martha Finley. Besides updated, modern language, these editions have a stronger Christian message, added historical information, a family tree, and other new features designed to enhance the books. Set in the South in the mid- to-late 1800s, the books tell the story of the life and spiritual commitment of Elsie Dinsmore, a charming young heroine whose Christian faith and hope guide her as she grows from childhood to adulthood.
This boxed set of the popular fiction books for girls includes the first 4 titles in the series: Elsie's Endless Wait (Book 1), Elsie's Impossible Choice (Book 2), Elsie's New Life (Book 3), Elsie's Stolen Heart (Book 4).

Welcome to the Elsie Dinsmore series! The series of books that will help YOUR little martyr keep the tears flowing! Let's follow Elsie as she battles the horrible troubles, and trials that she faces! Going to her room, being SCOLDED by her cruel father!! But alas! She will follow Jesus Christ to the very end! Read a book to her father on SUNDAY!!?!? Unthinkable circumstances that would simply STUN our modern day children are reviewed in these wonderful books! Join Elsie in the magical world of, Elsie Dinsmore
No. I did not copy that from anywhere. These books disgust me! On almost every page, Elsie Dinsmore BURSTS into tears. Simple matters such as simply being scolded by here father make her weep, and wail. A good description for Elsie Dinsmore is a weeping willow. She refused to simply read her father a book on Sunday! Tears welling into her eyes at the very request! I am a Christian. Since these books have Christian themes to them, I will give it two stars rather than one. I do not, however, reccomend that you waste your money on these. They are very dull anyhow. Nothing exciting, or fun ever really happens. Elsie is just a drama freak. A martyr-wanna-be.

This book is a poor attempt at modern revision. It is totally ruined and changed. In my opinion it does not come near the value of the originals. If you want a good story, get the original Elsie classics.

These are great books. Best quality of christian fiction. First start out with these and if you like them, then go on to the next ones. The A life of faith show little Elsie's true personality and books numbers one through four are to her teenage years. By the way, the A life of faith are in my opinion are for teenagers. The reason is because i think teenager girls can relate to the whole series better.
The 'Elsie Books' January 10, 2005
I've loved reading the Elsie books because of their positive nature. They are truly inspiring to read and, I find, a wonderful example. Elsie, though a ficticious character, is a role model because of her great strengths and unwavering faith in the Lord. I would encourage girls of all ages to read them... even at 17 I find they have a strong message.
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!! June 22, 2004

These are some of the best books I have ever read. I picked up one, and in less than a week I had read all four! The Christian values exhibited by Elsie just drew me in. If only we could all act more like her!! The world would be such a better place.....Absolutely awesome. I can't wait to read the next 4 books in the series.
