Grace Livingston Hill (1865-1947) was an early 20th Century "Christian Romance" novelist. She was immensely popular in the time that she wrote, contributing hundreds of novels and short stories during her lifetime. Her characters were most often young female ingenues, frequently strong Christian women or those who become so within the confines of the story. Graces messages are quite simplistic in nature: good versus evil. As Grace believed the Bible was very clear about what was good and what was evil in life, she reflected that cut-and-dried design in her own works. She touched on subjects such as infidelity, defiance, hard-heartedness towards God, and deception, to name just a few. Grace wrote about them all and could manage a happy, or at least satisfactory, ending to any situation. Jesus, the ever-present (though unseen) reoccurring character, manages to heal or mend any situation Grace imagined. It was no wonder that in her days she was known as the "Queen of Christian Romance. " Her works include: The Girl from Montana (1908), The Mystery of Mary (1911) and Lo, Michael (1913).… (altro)

At one point in my life, I was on a quest to find and read all of Grace Livingston Hill's books. I'd been introduced to the author by a friend and somewhere obtained a list of about 100 titles that she'd had published. This title was one of the last few that I found and read--and I think I got it from the library to read.
It's not like most other GLH books I've read. This is not fiction (at least not totally) and not a romance in the sense of a boy and girl meet and fall in love.
I think it took me a while to figure out that it was based on the history of the Salvation Army and not like other GLH books--at the time I had no idea she'd cowritten it with Evangeline Booth nor would I have known what the name Evangeline Booth meant even if I had known that.
I wish I could rate it higher but I found it boring and long. ( )

Foreword: In presenting the narrative of some of the doings of the Salvation Army during the world's great conflict for liberty, I am but answering the insistent call of a most generous and appreciative public.
Preface by the Writer: I wish I could give you a picture of Commander Evangeline Booth as I saw her first, who has been the Source, the Inspiration, the Guide of this story.
Chapter 1: Into the heavy shadows that swathe the feet of the tall buildings in West Fourteenth Street, New york, late in the evening there slipped a dark form.

And there are also many other things which these disciples of Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written; but are they not graven in the hearts of men who found the Christ on the battlefield or the hospital cot, or in the dim candle-lit hut, through these dear followers of His?
