Description

The listing, Entire Love Comes Softly Series by Janette Oke! Eight Volumes! Like NEW! FREE Shipping! has ended.

You've seen the beloved movie series, now read the books!

Love Comes Softly, the first series from the pen of Janette Oke, follows the lives of one family through three generations--beginning with a hated "marriage of convenience," through hardships common to life on the prairie in an earlier time, leading at last to an abiding love. These eight stories reflect the enduring hope of Christian love and faith despite adversity and hardship. More than 6.5 million copies of the books in the series have been sold.

#1: "Love Comes Softly"

A tragic accident, a grief-stricken young widow, a lonely father and child- a tender story of two hearts broken by despair finding wholeness through patience, loyalty, and faith in God.

Nineteen-year-old Marty Claridge starts west with her adventurous, boyish husband, Clem, seeking to claim land and hoping for good fortune. But when the venture turns suddenly to tragedy, Marty is left alone with her great loss. And coupled with her grief and heartache is the grim reality that there is no way to return home.

Clark Davis and his little girl, Missie, are also in great need. Clark's wife has died, leaving him to care for Missie and the farm at the same time. His offer to Marty comes with good intention, but will courage and faith be enough to bring them to true love?

The Strange Circumstances of this romantic novel will keep you on the edge of your chair until the conflict is resolved and the courage and beauty of true love and deep faith are realized!

Descriptions for the rest are in the comments.

#2: “Loves Enduring Promise”
Clark and Marty Davis, the pioneer couple initially thrown together after the deaths of their first mates, now preside over a growing number of youngsters in their prairie home. You'll laugh and cry as you watch Marty and Clark face the joys and sorrows of life on a homesteader's farm.

Will they ever find a teacher for the new school? Is the very "learned" Eastern preacher going to be able to communicate with the simpler people of the West? How can they comfort the neighbors whose long-awaited only child brings such sorrow to their home? And how do Clark and Marty guide their lovely daughter, now grown to womanhood, in her choice of a partner?

Filled with all the enchanting ingredients of gentle love stories, this book will charm readers from eight to eighty!

#3: “Love’s Long Journey”

Will the faith and strength built into Missie in her childhood withstand the bewildering surprise that awaits her?

How did those pioneers face the hardships of the trail? The rain, the mud, the impassable river fordings - and even death. The initial elation of a new adventure soon wears thin, and Missie must learn how to live her faith as she faces homesickness, boredom, and deprivation. And, then, when she finally arrives at their new home...

Missie's shocking discovery is not the end of the story, but it almost brings her to the end of her endurance.

Jul 25th, 2011 at 11:17:44 AM PDT by

Didnt know there were movies. These book would be great for teenagers too. Great stories of family, faith and love. Have read everyone of them. Good luck with this auction and ladies, you gotta read them if you have not.

Jul 26th, 2011 at 11:13:25 PM PDT by

Jul 25th, 2011 at 1:40:28 PM PDT by

Thank you! I watched the movies too! I like the books better, though, because they go into more details, and all of the scenes can't fit into a two-hour movie! I fanned you back, and good luck!

Jul 25th, 2011 at 1:52:44 PM PDT by

AWESOME auction! When I read this series, they made me laugh, they made me cry, and they made me want to read MORE! Janette Oke is an AMAZING author!

#4: “Love’s Abiding Joy”

A birthday surprise, another journey west, and a joyful reunion! But will their joy survive the tragedy that awaits them?

Marty and Clark Davis's daughter Missie and her husband had homesteaded land in the far West, many weeks' journey away by covered wagon. But with the coming of the frontier railroad, the miles are suddenly bridged, making possible their long-awaited reunion.

Grandparents Marty and Clark are thrilled to meet their two little grandsons for the first time. Missie, anxious to hear news from home, plies her mother with questions about her brothers and sisters. And as Willie proudly shows the two visitors around his successful ranch, Missie, just as proudly, shows them the little soddy that was their original home.
But then their visit is shattered by a tragic accident. Will they ever be a happy family again?

A warm and gentle story of faith and love and joy in the midst of the swirling storms of life.

Jul 25th, 2011 at 11:18:14 AM PDT by

#5: “Love’s Unending Legacy”

Marty was overjoyed to be home again- could anything disturb her joy?

Marty Davis had thoroughly enjoyed her visit with daughter Missie, even though a tragic accident had extended it far longer than originally planned. But now she and Clark are home again, and there are some changes to make. The family begins to adjust to Clark's crutch, and Clark and Marty recognize their children's new maturity and independence.

The 'baby of the family' is going to be a doctor. Ellie has blossomed into a lovely young woman, is there any fellow around special enough to ask for her hand? Nandry seems unable to come to terms with Clark's handicap; is she blaming God for the accident? Clare and Kate eagerly anticipate their new baby, but has life prepared them for what lies ahead? And then, there’s Marty’s secret…

Jul 25th, 2011 at 11:18:40 AM PDT by

Ooops! I just realized that I wrote "no writing, rips or tears" in the description. I meant to write "no bent pages, rips, or tears." There is writing in the books: the name on the inside cover of each book. Otherwise, all of the pages are clean. Sorry for the mistake!

Aug 4th, 2011 at 10:21:38 AM PDT by

>>>UPDATE!!!>>>

If these go over 6,000 credits, I will add another, Brand New book by Janette Oke!

Aug 7th, 2011 at 11:42:41 AM PDT by

Nice auction! Great author... So far, all the books I read by her were good. :)

Jul 27th, 2011 at 11:35:51 AM PDT by

Thank you! She is an amazing writer!

Jul 27th, 2011 at 6:31:49 PM PDT by

I am watching this one and I do so hope to win it!!! I read these years ago and I have a Janette Oke book she signed for me years ago too. But to get this set and to enjoy them again, and then share with my daughter and daughter-in-laws would be so much fun. Then to put them on my shelf and cherish them until I want to read them again! Gee I am drooling... lol. Avid reader here and I just love Oke's books! Thanks for listing it! Watching with hope and I also hope you get a ton of credits for this wonderful set! Fanned you! :)

Jul 26th, 2011 at 10:38:01 PM PDT by

Thank you! This is great series, and if there were a rating higher than five stars, I would definitely give it! I laughed and cried, and laughed again throughout the entire series. The only reason that I'm parting with it is that I have two sets, one hardcover, and one softcover. So I put up the hardcover here. Otherwise, you wouldn't have seen it, LOL! I hope this auction goes well too, and most importantly, so that whoever wins, will enjoy it atleast as much as I did. Thanks for fanning... I fanned you back!

Jul 27th, 2011 at 7:43:34 AM PDT by

#6: “Love’s Unfolding Dream”

The usual joys of girlhood swirled around them, but underneath it all was the dream…

Belinda, Marty and Clark Davis's 'surprise child,' has always had a tender and compassionate heart toward anything hurt or broken. Her parents watch with both misgivings and genuine pride as Belinda's older brother, Doctor Luke, influences her toward nursing. Will she have the inward strength to face the 'hurt and broken' people whose bodies, minds, and emotions need mending?

Belinda's niece, who is also a teenager, comes to live with the Davis family to finish her schooling. How will Melissa's arrival affect Belinda's lifelong friendship with Amy Jo? And what happens when all three fall for the same nice fellow?

Though the setting is of days long ago, the issues of life and love and faith in this story are as current as today’s news.

Jul 25th, 2011 at 11:19:25 AM PDT by

#7: “Love Takes Wing”

Boston was even more than she had dreamed. Why then did she feel so empty?

Belinda Davis is restless. As her friends get married and have children of their own, she wonders what God has in store for her. Her life as a nurse seems dull and routine. She craves excitement and adventure.

When she meets an elderly woman who needs nursing care, Belinda jumps at the invitation to travel to Boston, a large, vibrant city so unlike the little prairie town where she was raised. Opportunities for books, theatre and the luxuries of life provide excitement for a time. But in spite of financial security, countless new experiences, and even some romance, Belinda finds herself restless, lonely, and empty inside.

In Stretching Her Wings, Did She Leave More Than Her Home and Family?

#8: “Love Finds a Home”

Compelled to leave- obliged to stay. Should she follow her head or her heart?

Belinda Davis’ move to Boston had introduced her to a life she never could have imagined growing up in the west. But even the opportunities of wealth, literature and travel left her feeling empty. Realizing her faith had been pushed into the back-ground, she once again invites God to have first place in her life.

But now she faces new life decisions that seem even more difficult than before. A very unexpected responsibility makes the choice even harder. Torn between two contrasting ways of life, one full of fascinating opportunities in the East and one represented by the beloved farm home in which she was raised, she clings to the principles that are her parent’s legacy: faith, love, and family.

And then the one person she'd never expected to see again returns...

Jul 25th, 2011 at 11:20:25 AM PDT by
