(4.8 stars; 135 reviews)

Workers Together continues the journey of Dr. Stuart Everett and Joy Saunders, characters first introduced in Pansy's earlier work, Ester Ried Yet Speaking. Set against the backdrop of a close-knit Christian community, this novel explores the diverse ways individuals contribute to their shared mission, revealing the profound impact of both dedicated and reluctant workers.

As the characters navigate their faith and responsibilities, they encounter challenges that test their commitment and influence those around them. The story delves into themes of service, community, and the varying degrees of devotion that shape their lives and the lives of others.

Pansy's insightful storytelling invites readers to reflect on their own roles within their communities, making Workers Together a thoughtful addition to the Chautauqua Girls series. This installment not only furthers the narrative of beloved characters but also emphasizes the importance of unity and purpose in the Christian faith.

This tells the back-story to some of the characters in Ester Ried Yet Speaking. If you've enjoyed that book, this will pleasantly explain a number of its situations, although it may be a little hard to precisely match the meeting points. Certainly there are almost as many lessons to learn concerning reaching people for Christ, and the focus is on youth leaders, as we would call them, in a way that ERYS is not.

Workers Together, or, An Endless Chain


(4 stars)

It is true that Pansy’s books become cliché after awhile. In themselves they are good, but after a dozen the author’s favorite topics are obvious. One thing that puzzles me is the absence of emphasis on the Biblical command—: “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins…” (Acts 2:38) Although repentance is usually evident in each character’s salvation, baptism is never mentioned even remotely. I realize baptism is not salvation in itself, but it is an act of obedience in a new believer’s life and should have been mentioned at least briefly.

Rather idealistic


(3 stars)

Good story but seems out of bounds at times as far expected Christian living not prepared by prayer & experience? one character seemed to be rewarded for feeling sorry for himself and for criticizing his employer who had already given him so much...I'm just saying...

Heartwarming Tale
