Uncle Tom's Cabin

I am currently reading Uncle Tom's Cabin. It is so beautifully written!! I have heard about this book for some time. I thought it was just about the life of a slave and the trials and tribulations they suffered through, but it is so much more than that. It is about a man and his faith in God.....about trying to keep that faith alive when put through unspeakable things. This is the kind of faith I strive for......I love this book!!!

Quote:
"Ye said the Lord took sides against us, because he lets us be 'bused and knocked round; but ye see what come on his own Son,--the blessed Lord of Glory,--warn't he allays poor? and have we, any on us, yet come so low as he come? The Lord han't forgot us,--I'm sartin o' that ar'. If we suffer with him, we shall also reign, Scripture says: but, if we deny him, he also will deny us. Didn't they all suffer?--the Lord and all his? It tells how they was stoned and sawn asunder, and wandered about in sheep-skins and goat-skins, and was destitute, afflicted, tormented. Sufferin' an't no reason to make us think the Lord's turned agin us; but jest the contrary, if only we hold on to him, and doesn't give up to sin."

I know I will read this book again!! I strongly recommend it!!:thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up
