A Western Adventure From The Author of “Miracle at Caller’s Spring Ranch”
(The Caller’s Spring Ranch Western Series 3)
STORY-LINE HORSE CREEK TRADING POST:
Horse Creek Trading Post is a story of faith, overcoming adversity, courage, and following after the Lord’s plan for life. Quakers Mike and Aileen Reese leave Wales for America. They settle in Tennessee and found a dynasty which will follow the Lord throughout their lives. For He has a plan for each member of this devout clan; they forge and settle from Tennessee to Wyoming with His guidance.
Life’s filled with ups and downs, good and bad. However, through their devotion to the Lord, they prosper. They bring Christ to hundreds, feed the hungry, and bring peace to many. This is a not to be missed book. My inspirational Christian book reviews follow.
CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, AND DEVELOPMENT:
My words are inadequate to express what an excellent story Jim Burnett created, and I lack the skill to do it justice. I ask the author to forgive me for my ineptness. That said, I will do my best to inspire you to run and get this inspiring saga of one Quaker dynasty and their love for the Lord our God. As well as, how they kept his covenant, lived a Christian life, and became missionaries for the Lord‘s word. Even though Burnett created an excellent narrative filled with faith, I never felt he was preaching or pushing.
The story came alive for me, and I hungered for the next page. I couldn’t wait to see what God would do next. I wondered how He would show His power and how the Reese’s and Browns would respond. Settling the early West was not for sissies, only strong men and women survived. People of unwavering faith, principle, determination, stamina, and attitudes of never giving up, is skillfully portrayed in Horse Creek Trading Post.
MY OPINION:
I found the characters well-developed and full-bodied with an abundance of faith, morals, and principles. I found myself saying “I can see God doing that or purposing this.” As I followed the members of this family, I found myself saying “what a mighty God we serve.” The plotting and the storyline are excellent with awe-inspiring tales of how God used this family. Jim Burnett also crafted his characters with human frailties and flaws. He held me captive from crossing the Atlantic, the mighty Percherons, Indians, savage outlaws, the redemption of Roy Smith, Knuckles race, Gus’ fame, and so much more.
I felt I was watching from the sidelines as each scene played out. As I read Burnett‘s style of writing and authentic Western language, I found myself involved with each character. His scenes transitioned smoothly, and his writing flowed well. I closed my E-reader with a sigh of satisfaction.
I am sorry if I appear lavish with my praise, but this narrative desires high praise. I recommend this story to anyone who loves a well-written Christian novel, and I would not hesitate to buy it for myself or a friend.
