Millie's Courageous Days, Book 2
Description
"If God is in control, why did He make Fan fall?" Millie asked desperately. "I thought I was doing so well with the promise God gave me when we left Lansdale. And now it's all come to pieces! If He lets terrible things like this happen, how can anyone trust Him? What are we going to do if " "Oh, Millie," said Aunt Wealthy, interrupting her. "God didn't make Fan fall, although He did allow it. But we must trust Him," she said passionately. "We cannot give up hope no matter what the doctor says." Millie Keith put her faith in the promises of God when her parents moved the entire family out to the wild frontier, where life is full of surprises, adventure, and danger. But now Millie, just turned thirteen, finds her faith tested again when tragedy strikes her family, when she loses her best friend because of her faith, and when deadly fevers stalk the town. Can she trust God with life...and death?
