註釋Twenty-four-year-old aristocrat, John Francis Taylor, experiences a life-changing riding accident and finds it only a harbinger of hardship and humiliation that lay ahead. Unknown to John, the once noble and wealthy Taylor family was in the throes of financial ruin, leaving the young John Taylor to fend for himself. With heavy doses of intrigue and suspense, John promises his dying mother that he will restore honor to the Taylor name. In the process, John finds authentic Salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ. John's country doctor, Andrew Murray, and his future father-in-law, Edward Van Zandt, mentor him over the ensuing months, ensuring a vibrant deep-seated faith. Along the way, John is severely tested as he grows in his faith while navigating a harsh work-a-day world he is unfamiliar with. While visiting the Van Zandt home, John discovers the inner beauty of Edward's daughter, Mary, as she selflessly tends to her needy neighbors. He becomes enamored with her simple and chaste persona as she exemplifies the essence of the Christian faith. John and Mary must navigate the delicate nuances of a Victorian era courtship, which was strict and formal, even businesslike. The Van Zandt home was firmly entrenched in the deeper truths of scripture, so Mary's father was especially careful how he allowed the courtship to blossom. Primarily, it must be God's will. -All of the 'His Story' chronicles are narrated by Grace Chloe Wheaton, who is John Francis Taylor's great, great, granddaughter. Read along and take a dramatic nineteenth century adventure-a unique and amazing story of faith and family.
