In 1868, Martha Finley (1828-1909), a Sunday school teacher turned author, released a series of novels that became the best-selling juvenile fiction series of the era, out-selling everything except Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. Central to her novels was a lonely, little Christian girl named Elsie Dinsmore, whose devotion to God was powerful enough to inspire readers around the world in their faith.

The rich, Christian legacy of Martha Finley in the Elsie Dinsmore novels is at the core of A Life of Faith resources. A Life of Faith novels are updated, expanded, and revised, modern language adaptations of Miss Finley’s nineteenth century stories. Why did we update the books? IN ORDER TO ENHANCE THEIR SPIRITUAL IMPACT ON TODAY'S GIRLS! That's because our mission is to actually mentor girls in their faith, not just provide good Christian stories.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FRUIT!

Our passionate desire is to see today's girls living a lifestyle of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We all love good literature, but it is lasting SPIRITUAL FRUIT that is the objective of our company. To find out about the spiritual benefits of our A Life of Faith books, see ABOUT THEIR BOOKS, and to be amazed and blessed by the fruit our products are bearing, see READ THE REVIEWS. 

The original 1868 text was carefully revised only after input from Christian educators, parents, and girls passionately committed to Jesus. Scripture verses were added, the roles of Godly characters were expanded, historical forewords were provided, and more.
