The struggles endured and overcome by the characters are testimony to the strength and inherent goodness of humankind. They share not only hardships and illness but joy and laughter, even in the darkest of times. Each blessing is eagerly and unselfishly shared with others with the firm faith and certain confidence that future blessings and gifts will be graciously granted. They are thankful for each gift they receive, whether it be as simple as a bundle of firewood, the sharing of a story, a crude birdhouse, or as rewarding and fulfilling as the company and fellowship of family and friends. The Birdhouse is being well received by readers and praised for its simple messages of love and compassion. It is suitable for all audiences and makes a meaningful gift for everyone on any occasion. The lessons it teaches are timeless and timely, both from the past and for now. Young and not so young readers will enjoy this beautiful story and will identify with or recognize at least one of the characters within the pages. Mrs. Gurley continues her quest in this latest work to share her confidence in the continued intrinsic value of human beings and the belief that altruism is a highly regarded responsibility as well as a natural, God-given trait. Her confidence in mankind extends to her fellow man, the animals and the environment as an unending circle of duty and obligation in caring for each other. Average Rating:
