Although this novel was not as popular and well known as Sheldon's "In His Steps" it is a better written novel with better delineated characters and a tighter plot.

I read The High Calling in a few settings after one abbreviated start. It was slow to build, but once I was into the story, I couldn't put it down! It was such a dear contrast to modern times and I loved pondering the massive amount of change in a century or so. The characters were warm and personable. I related to the central family and so enjoyed spending time with them as I read along. I mourned the end of the book a bit, as I felt so at-home with the characters and was sorry to see them go!

Excellent!
I had previously read "In His Steps" and enjoyed it. This book is very good. It takes you through many different moral dilemmas and requires you to think about what you would do in the same situation!

The "second reading" was actually "The Reformer" by Charles Sheldon :)
