Fearing that her son, Robert, will grow too intellectual to relate to his parents, Mrs. Fenton starts a "Chautauqua Literary & Scientific Circle" in the town of Centreville. The C.L.S.C. draws in members from all strata of society - from the maid of a well-to-do family and 3 lazy, wild youths to society girls and the eminent Professor Monteith. We follow various members of the Circle as the studies at home and the social interactions and programs at the actual Chautauqua in New York shape and challenge their previous ideas and beliefs.
Included are accounts of actual lectures and events at Chautauqua during the summer of 1880, providing a unique historical look at the Chautauqua phenomenon of that era.

Great narration. Most thorough explanation of Chataquan movement I've come across. Great reminder to those striving to live according to God's Word and find positive ways to teach and encourage us.....while there were many positives in what the movement was trying to accomplish. ...there was definitely teaching not according to Scripture. ...if I understood correctly, some of the Chataquan teachings were actually idolatrous in nature. This is a book I want to read myself to make sure I understood correctly.
A wonderful Chautauqua story.

Of all the Chautauqua stories, I think I love this one best. Caroline is such a winsome character. Robert Fenton is charming. Listening and knowing that in the end Christ would have his way, in no way takes away from the story. The fact that this story actually has a sort of a villain is probably why I enjoyed it so much. This is a book not to be missed.

There are many who meet Jesus, but mostly the reader experiences many aspects of the Chatauqua assembly of 1880 attended by General Garfield. The assembly is clearly pro-Garfield.
