It is best to be honest and truthful, to make the most of what we have, to be happy with simple pleasures and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.

Making the best of things - a damn poor way of dealing with them. My whole life has been a series of escapes from that quicksand.

devotionals with laura

Dan White has just published a Bible study book using Laura Ingalls Wilder's Bible verses, a handwritten list found in Laura's Bible after her death and believed to be her quick reference in times of trouble or stress. A copy of Laura's handwritten list is available for purchase at the Laura Ingalls Wilder homesite museums.
Devotionals With Laura is White's interpretation of these verses, what they meant in Laura's life and what they might mean in ours. The booklet - 137 letter-sized pages - is available to download for $9 (paypal or credit card accepted) as a pdf file HERE. I bought it tonight, and I'm in the process of printing it out, glancing over the pages as they are printed. Although I've noticed a few historical inaccuracies so far, it should be an interesting study. Not only does White present his own interpretation of the Bible verses, he uses Laura's "Little House" books, articles, letters, and local Mansfield history in his anaylsis of them.
Dan White isn't new to writing about Laura Ingalls Wilder. In 1992, he published Laura's Friends Remember: Close Friends Recall Laura Ingalls Wilder. This 40-page booklet contains interviews with Nava Austin, Erman Dennis, Peggy Dennis, Emogene Fuge, Neta Seal, Anna Gutschke, and Carl Hartley. It's now available as an e-book HERE, re-titled Laura Ingalls' Friends Remember Her.
