Reviews


(1 stars)

The sing song cadence of the reader drives me to distraction. I can't take it

maddening inflection


(3 stars)

I cannot speak for the text, because the inflection of the reader drove me crazy after five minutes. Does anyone else want to rerecord it?

God is Faithful


(4 stars)

We are God's epistle known and read of all men. In whatsoever we do; do it as unto the Lord.

All Temperance


(3 stars)

One of Pansy's less interesting books, it reads like it was written specifically for the WCTU.


(5 stars)

I like both the reader & the story. Pansy is one of my favorite authors.

On temperance


(5 stars)

This story focuses on the temperance question, political as well as spiritual.

The reader sounds like she is from the midwest. I like her.
