He Leadeth Me

Hymns to Stir the Heartstrings

By: Janice Cole Hopkins

Narrated by: L.B. Neibaur

A pastor’s duty, a father’s hope, a little girl’s trust, and a young woman’s desperation

Nebraska, 1887 - Widower Joseph McBride had resisted long enough. His little girl needed a mother, and the congregation expected their pastor to have a wife. Reluctantly, he wrote to his cousin for help. A few weeks later, Christine Hanna arrives on the train—lovelier than he imagined, but beauty alone won’t ease the burden of life in a parsonage. Could she withstand the constant scrutiny, the endless duties, the weight of being a pastor’s wife? As Joseph and Christine navigate faith, family, and the expectations of a small-town church, they discover that the greatest test isn’t whether she can fill the role, it’s whether their hearts can find a home in each other.

He Leadeth Me

I enjoyed this inspirational story, the characters are interesting and their tale kept me interested until the end.

The narration was great.

Excellent Read

Excellent read! Sometimes after the couple falls in love, I go to a different story, but this one actually kept me interested!

Sweet

What a Wonderful story about God’s faithfulness in leading us through the good times and difficult days. His presence brings me peace and comfort as I trust in Him.

Christian Historical Romance

After listening to two back to back audiobooks by the same author, I was very pleased to know how different each story was!! Both women married pastors, but that was about the only thing in common besides them both quoting the same verse!
I loved his resolution for finding childcare! The traumatic events that some people might assume would break apart their solid marriage, only caused them to grow deeper in their commitments to God and each other!
I loved the narrator! She had just enough venom for the super hard to please busybody, yet enough innocence for the toddler!

Great!

What a great inspiration to have in my ear. Even the pastor of the church makes mistakes and has to learn like everyone else. I recommend this story to everyone. The narrator did a great job of making the characters come to life.
