Publisher's summary

In A Measure of Mercy by acclaimed author Lauraine Snelling, 18-year-old Astrid Bjorklund’s opportunity for formal medical study in Chicago doesn’t arrive until shortly after her heartthrob Joshua Landseer returns to Blessing, North Dakota. They agree to exchange letters while she’s in Chicago. And, for a time, love blossoms—until the letters from Joshua stop coming. Convinced he no longer loves her, Astrid makes an impetuous and heart-wrenching decision.

Great story! Abrupt ending.

I loved the story. The caring and concerns shown in the hearts of the characters made them real to me. I was frustrated with the abrupt ending.

Magical

Such an inspirational story that drew me in quickly. Astrid wants to become a doctor and has been assisting the local doctor in town, ELizabeth. But she needs to travel to Chicago to finish her training. Her trials and tribulations warm the heart and you cannot help but hope all comes out well for her...

Wonderful til the end!

As always, I love Lauraine Snelling, the only thing that I don't like is that it is hard to find what order to read her books in because even though she has 3 and 4 books in a series, they all are one great big story! So this book is a piece of the big story and I plan on continuing on so the ending didn't disappoint me as much as others. I would only read these books as a whole series and not individually. I love the books and highly recommend starting from the beginning!

Thank you Laraine Snelling!!! Such inspiration

What did you love best about A Measure of Mercy?

I love the constant dependance on God for guidance. I know my faith is growing just listening to such great examples of how to serve God and treat others as God would have us.

Have you listened to any of Stina Nielsen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Wonderful narrator!

Any additional comments?

I wish there was a guide to the order of the books. I have listened out of order to several and think it would have been even better in order.

Good story

I enjoyed this story because of the closeness of her family. It was interesting to learn some of the ways of their culture.
