GLH podcast

 We're honored to have been chosen for this great podcast series! Click to listen.

From the podcast episode description:

For this podcast episode we sat down with Daena Creel, one of the foremost authorities on the life and work of the pioneering and best-selling Christian author Grace Livingston Hill (1865-1947).

Daena is also a writer, archivist, and historian. She works closely with the Hill family to preserve Grace’s legacy for future generations of readers, and is the author of The Grace Livingston Hill Cookbook: Vintage Recipes from the Holiday Books.

We learned many compelling facts about Grace's life and books during the interview including an overview of her family upbringing, characteristics of her work, her writing process, and reasons for why her books are just as spiritually valuable and relevant today as they were more than a century ago.

Grace's 119 books, and numerous other stories have firmly enthroned her in literary history as not just the creator of the modern Christian romance novel, but as a writer whose commitment to Gospel integrity and evangelism has led untold readers to salvation in Jesus Christ.

Moreover, Grace Livingston Hill's books stand firmly as landmark examples of fiction writing used as ministry, and are essential reading for believers of all ages.

One of the most enjoyable things about being a regular Grace Livingston Hill reader is coming across a "familiar friend" you've meet in another book. It's not frequent, but it's special. The first time it happened was in 1909, when Phoebe Deane followed Marcia Schuyler.

The Marcia Schuyler Trilogy

  

marcia schuyler phoebe deane ad

 Grace Livingston Hill's Marcia Schuyler was published in February 1908 by J. B. Lippincott Company and became her first big success as an author. In fact, the book was so popular that Lippincott printed quite a number of editions to satisfy demand.

It was followed by Phoebe Deane, a story set in the same town with many of the same townspeople, including "spunky" Miranda. We read her story in the third book in the series, Miranda. 

Marcia Schuyler's story of a substitute bride comes from the pages of Livingston family history. A friend of Grace's suggested that she write a period novel and her family shared a bit of the bride's tale, which intrigued her. She made a visit to her 99-year-old aunt's home in New York to learn more about it.
