Paula the Waldensian
Eva Lecomte
Book Overview:
Into the home of an interesting but self-centered family in old France comes Paula, a young orphaned cousin, from the little village of Villar, in the Waldensian Valley. Though living very simply, tending cows, goats, sheep and rabbits, Paula has been brought up to know and love the Lord Jesus and read the Scriptures. Her Lord and His Word are the center of her life, and she can no more keep this good news all to herself than she can stop breathing or eating. This causes a good many complications, for her cousins' home was one where "religion" was a forbidden subject, never to be mentioned, and Paula soon found herself forbidden to read her own precious Bible.
Paula's loving obedience, her happy friendliness and charm, her overflowing love for everyone she meets, win the hearts of all, family and neighbors alike, and cause many a change in that little French village on the road from Rouen to Darnetal.
This book was originally written in French, Translated into Spanish, and then into English.

"Yes, but you are only a girl yet," I said to her.
"That's true, Lisita, naturally I know that, but father used to say to me, 'You're not too small to serve the Lord, Paula!' I read the Bible with him many times, and when we didn't have time to read it in the house, we took it to the fields with us and read it as we rested. Then as I watched the cows and sheep, I read the Book alone. And now you and I can read it together; can we not, Lisita? And I know the Lord will help us to make everybody else happy around us. I've never had a sister, and now that you say you wish . . . Read More

I really appreciate this story. Paula is an orphaned Waldensian girl that goes to live with her Uncle and his family. She's faithful and virtuous despite her Uncle's disdain for her faith. Through her years of kindness toward her new family she slowly wins them over. The story is a good introduction
I reread this book to fulfill the reading challenge “read a book that was first read aloud to you”. I have always loved the song, “In the Land of Fadeless Day” because of this book. I have this sweet feeling of awe surrounding that song because the first time I heard it was when my mother read this
What a sweet book this was! The story of a young Christian girl who moved in with some relatives who were not interested in religion and lovingly points them and the whole community to the Lord Jesus.
Gonna see if I can find a copy of this book for my siblings!
A classic story of a young life dedicated to Christ. It was a great reminder of what unhindered love looks like. The childlike faith that is not immature only pure.
Beautiful Gospel Story
The story flows with such power and delight that it is hard to put down once begun. This edition contains some misspellings or typos. Not so much that it makes too much of a disruption. A couple of sentences read awkwardly, but for the most part it is a pleasure to read. It wou
4* A wholesome, inspiring book for children. Paula is such a perfect little Christian, some readers might even think the story is unrealistic. She is orphaned, comes to live with her cousins, and shows them the gospel message.
What a treasure to find. This book is a rarity in this day and age. I am having my daughters read it now, hoping that it will touch their hearts and minds with its sweetness, tenderness, honesty, and truth. I am so grateful to have stumbled upon it.
