An Amish Love

An Amish Love consist of three short stories that intertwine love and Amish living. A wonderful novella to read around Valentine's Day. Powerful, thought provoking and hard to put down, Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller, and Kelly Long, have written a fabulous Amish Romance!

The first story "A Marriage of the Heart" is about a young girl who wants to get away from her controlling father. After lying and being forced to marry Rachel is faced with living in her fathers house as it is apart of the Amish culture. Rachel is also forced to search her heart and confess. Confession is good for the heart and Rachel finds out how freeing it is.

The second story "What the Heart Sees" by Kathleen Fuller is thought provoking. It is a story of forgiveness, deliverance, acceptance, change, and unconditional love. Ellie deals with an injury after a car accident while Chris is faced with forgiveness and change in order to be accepted back in the Amish Community. When Chris decides to come home to make restitution love wasn't in his plans, yet he returns and falls in love. In the third story "Healing Hearts" by Beth Wiseman finds Namaan Lapp and Levina Lapp in a marriage yet they don't know one another. In spite of being married and having raised several children they are faced with getting to know one another after a heart breaking situation.

All of the stories in this book have a common theme of forgiveness, confession, and love. Husbands are to love their wives as Christ so loved the church. What a tall order to live up to yet it is our commission. When our hearts are cleansed from all unrighteousness then there is room for true love. All of these stories demonstrate what happens after confession and forgiveness, true love.

I strongly recommend this book. It is encouraging, uplifting and a great example of numerous lessons. Thank you for allowing me to review this book.
