“Come and sit awhile as you enjoy 18 fictional short stories of love, joy, and the peace found in Amish country.
Amish Country is known for an atmosphere of peace and quiet, perfect for front-porch sitting with a good book. Join New York Times bestselling author Wanda E. Brunstetter, her daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, as they share 18 heartwarming stories from Amish Country. These fictional short stories include journeys we can all relate to as we seek how to live led by love, joy, peace, patience, and other Fruits of the Spirit. Meet Anna, who struggles to show love to a cantankerous neighbor; Laura, who endures infertility; Nora, whose pride threatens to consume her life; and other women who walk in their faith each day.”
My Review:
These eighteen stories are each based on an aspect of the “Fruit of the Spirit”: Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. These short stories are inspirational and encouraging. There’s faith and wisdom that weaves in and out of every storyline. I liked the way that each story focused on a situation that an Amish man or woman was facing, and how through the sound counsel of others, they learned the importance of each quality. I thought all three authors did an equally nice job on their stories.
Although the stories are short, each felt complete and I felt as if I’d met the main character in each story. This is a sweet book and I’ll look forward to reading it again.
