Yesterday Framed in To-day: A Story of the Christ, and How To-Day Received Him
Pansy
Read by TriciaG
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.

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 in Today

I enjoyed this book; it is a good way to evaluate our modern world’s probable response if the Messiah came today, even though cultural and social norms are quite different from the time when Pansy wrote this book. I understand that it was necessary for Pansy to take a number of liberties in composing this story. However, there are two things I wish she had not done: presuming any other interaction which Jesus had besides what is found in the Bible, and interweaving the complexities of finding a life partner amid the other crises that the main character experienced. Although Pansy didn’t give details for Jesus’ actions that would not exemplify the life we do know He lived, it bothers me a little to presume details on His activities. To presume about details in his disciples’ lives and in the ones He healed, fine. But I prefer that no actions be ascribed to Jesus that aren’t facts. The romance, if it can even be called such, played too prominent a role, and I felt it was distracting. Otherwise it was a worthwhile listen.
Yesterday Framed Today...TODAY
GM Jones
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!

This is a daring story for its time and place, and it really pulled me into the characters' lives. Unforgettable.
