What others are saying about "Terry's Journey"... |
"I admit that I do not get involved with many stories and only once have I ever looked forward to reading an author's next book. But Miss Bronte, I have to
admit that over the last 2.5 years, I checked every month, 5 days, 4 days, 3 days, 2 days early for the next installment of your stories in hope that it came
out a little early and so disappointed when it is only on time. I grew tired of researching, dissecting and evaluating writings for literary value and content. I
have grown to love the feeling that you incorporate into your stories and Terry's Journey promises to move you further into a skill that is becoming so very
honed. Thank you for you efforts. Thank you for your heart. Thank you for
sharing your talent. I am sure you have heard this before but it holds true for
me. You have a fan for as long as you care to write or I can see to read. God
Bless you..." - Dwayne
"My whole world came to a full stop, when I opened up my email and saw that
the 1st chapter of Terry's Journey was ready. I sat ready fighting the urge to
scan down to the bottom of the page. Had me on pins and needle, LOVE
IT!!!!" - Doris
"Dear Sarah Fall, I know you must've heard this many a times, but still I would
like to say that I love your full-length novels. I have been enjoying your monthly
written chapters for the past 3 years and I love it! My favourite novel till now is
Abigail's Journey. Every month on the 15th, no matter how much of a tough
study schedule I have, I would make time to sit on the computer and read
another much anticipated chapter of your thrilling novels. I really appreciate
your free novels and I really hope that you would stay by your word and
continue to post free novels on this site. This is just a way to tell you that you
and your works are duly liked and appreciated and you should continue doing
so. =)" - A Reader

What others are saying about "Homegrown Dandelions"... |
"Let me just say that through this story [Homegrown Dandelions], I have
found myself enraptured by the trials and struggles these seemingly real people face. By putting them
in real situations with wants and needs and not unnatural desires but with the will to fight them, I
have the urge to become more like the characters who I so admire. You're brilliant and remind me of God's
touching hand in every person's life. I love ALL your stories!" - Laura (California)
"You know I've pretty much read all of your free reads and each one captivates me
beyond comprehension. I love your writing style and how all of the books are hard to turn away from. This book
in particular [Homegrown Dandelions] has me sitting on the edge of my seat. Keep it up."

What others are saying about "Mountain Wild"... |
"I've read the first 2 chapters of Mountain Wild and was drawn in immediately. I remember
reading the first chapter and thinking this is definitely off the beaten path for Sarah [plot spoilers removed]!! The
life described is so different from what we live today and yet so alike in all its struggles and issues. The story
intrigues and pulls you in and leaves you wanting to read more and more. I began reading Abigail's story around the
time Sarah was halfway through it, and I remember wondering later whether people who had read the first chapter
when it was put up had been drawn in by it and whether they had wanted to come back and read more since I'm sure
not one of them had any inkling of the fantastic story that was about to unfold. Being here for Mountain Wild
since the beginning, I now know that they probably were." - Esther (India)
"I found this website when looking for something to read online in the summer and
truly these stories are just amazing! You hardly get novels like these on the Internet... I don't think I am
going to stop until I have read all your stories. No matter at what part of the story you are you don't want
to stop reading!! Thank you for sharing these books online." - A Reader
"Judith, there is a strength and hope in this chapter [28] that by far outweighs
the dim echo of trouble coming from outside Josiah's encampment. The scenes were so real that in my mind's eye
I could see them gathered around [plot spoiler removed].. I could literally smell the smoke of the campfire and feel
the movement of the wind.. thanks for bringing these characters to life for us, and using them to show the
mercy of the Lord in our lives!!!"

"[I am] an ardent fan of yours through reading your novels on the net... I really
appreciate you and your writings... I have read chapter 15 of Abigail's Journey twice now and it's like I
should go back to read it again. It is so interesting. Thank you for such a good read... What fascinates me
about your writing is that each of your stories are unique. Even the thought pattern and the characters are
distinct and very much natural. One can almost see the person in one's family or neighborhood... Telling you
I enjoyed chapter 17 of Abigail's Journey is an understatement... it's like the story is real... Thanks a lot
for giving me something beautiful to look forward to every month. The chapter was worth waiting for. I smiled
throughout the first pages until the last when I could not be consoled..." - Clara (Nigeria, West Africa)
"Wow I have to say I never thought I'd like to read anything. The story Abigail's
Journey is amazing. I'm hooked. Every month when it's updated I catch a ride to the library and use the
Internet there just to find out what happens next. You are really very good..." - Arica
"Three days ago, my friend introduced me to 'Abigail's Journey'. I remember her
exact words were: 'It is beyond words!'. Not stressing much on what that entailed and being a passionate
reader, I eagerly ventured into page 1 and from there on, I couldn't find the heart to stop. I was eager to
get to the end and at the same time I dreaded the fact that this novel that captured my heart, mind, and soul
would come to a finale and leave behind it emptiness and an insatiable hunger for more. For three nights, I
lived with Abigail and Jake, and walked through this incredible journey of self realization, fear, hurt, love,
passion, empathy, and most importantly a reminder of how Good God Is. I cannot begin to relay the emotions that
hunted me so vigorously, smiling at times and crying at others, all of which while nourishing my heart and
increasing my faith in the Lord. It has renewed my faith in the Lord and how mysterious his Ways are. At many
times in my life, fear and doubt presided within me, leaving so little to hope. But it is through the Lord
that we find strength once more to ask of him to guide us into the light and unto a rock that is higher than
where we are. May God bless you, and always give you the strength to empower and inspire others. I thank God
for you and for your talent and most of all for your faith, without which this would not be possible."
- Maria
"Thank you so much for your beautifully written love stories... I'm totally in
love with 'Abigail's Journey.' It's totally great and I love it to pieces..." - Your # 1 fan, Shaie

What others are saying about "Greatest of These"... |
"You've done it again used another one of your stories and reeled me in, The
Greatest of These was awesome. This story was the one that drew me into your site... I was up bleary eyed
trying to catch up because I started reading late... I couldn't stop (not regretting it for a
minute.)" - Rakesha (New York, USA)
"I am a faithful reader of your series. I have been reading them since I
happened to find them online two years ago. I was touched by these stories. I have a new view to people's
life in your country. In a word, I love your novels... Your series are the first contemporary works I
read. Among them, I love Greatest of These most... It fits my view about love, life and devotion. It is
pure and nice." - Viola (China)
"I just finished reading 'The Greatest of These', and it is a wonderful
book. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know both Charlie and Adam, and their family. I have read
all of the other books you have on this site, and I have to say that 'The Greatest of These', is by
far my favorite. I guess because it is not just focused on a love story, it is about life. Not only do
you get to know Adam and Charlie, you also get to experience their pain and their happiness. I can't
wait for your next book. Thank you so much for sharing your books online. God has given you a wonderful
talent. God Bless you for sharing His Word through your books."
