Yesterday Framed in To-day: A Story of the Christ, and How To-Day Received Him


Read by TriciaG

(4.8 stars; 60 reviews)

What would have happened if Christ hadn't come to Israel 2000 years ago, but had come to North America at the end of the 19th Century? This story makes that assumption and paints a picture of what it might have looked like - how different members of society might have reacted. The story follows David Holman, an invalid young man at the opening of the story. - Summary by TriciaG

How sweet it is to have a story give a fresh but true perspective of the gospel of Jesus Christ! Not tone missed if you love the Savior.

God Bless You Again Tricia

As only a man from Mississippi I have tried to keep my personal beliefs and feelings from my reviews. But your talented reading of this inspirational story has inspired me so that my hands tremble as I write. Whenever I think of Jesus on the cross I cry (usually not in public because men are taught that only babies cry), but I can't help it. And I have tried to be "politically correct" in my reviews as always. But, as I listened to your reading I was astonished to see that not one review has been written of this wonderful work of "Pansy", as her father called her. As often referred to and stated in this story, faith is something that mere words (at least not mine) can describe. I wish this country (USA) which I have fought and bled for would as a whole listen to these stories and not the so-called news or "opinions" that seem to be drowning our great nation. I had written many pages to put down here, but I don't won't to impinge on the rights or patience of others. God bless you again Tricia and God bless Librivox, your great country and the USA, and, I believe God would want me to add, all the people of this earth who are suffering and hurting as I write these very simple, but truly genuine feelings and beliefs.

Yesterday Framed Today...TODAY


(5 stars)

This book describes life as it would be "Yesteryear" circa 1800s, and justaposes the same situations with modern day life. Ha ha, those people were so quaint... but then one is convicted by what the Church has begun to accept as normal. Those Yesterday people would hardly recognize Today's (2021) Church or Christian Households. As all of Pansy's Novels, this book is at once entertaining, eye-opening, and CONVICTING. (3/21)

👏 Wow!
