I WON a BOOK!!! I am so thrilled. I have been reading interviews of authors for a month or two here and I won this book!!

I love Amish books!! I find that their lives are fascinating--hmmm....this is good, seeing that I have had some down to earth experiences here!

So, mom, you can read this one first and then I can--b/c it's being shipped to you stateside!

I also got another special treat today--saw my friend Lucya--thanks Pam and Gary for sparing her! We heard it's -35 C degrees in Siberia!!BRRRRRRR!!!

I love reading Amish books too. Especially love reading books that show them coming to Christ´s saving grace.

Poor Tami all the way up in Siberia. Did you read that she is getting to for a trip to Moscow?

Big hugs

Healing Hearts --Beth Wiseman

This is a set of 3 novellas that were great! They are set up in one book form. Beth Wiseman, as usual, presents a great story with forgiveness and healing woven through out. I couldn't wait to find out what happened with each character, and it usually had a twist to it that made you smile. I know there is so much to the Amish community that I do not desire to live with(I couldn't have this blog in most communities!) but Beth brings out the forgiveness and humility that is their way--which I believe is really more God's way than we would like to admit. Our Lord does very plainly say---friendship with the world is enmity with God. I don't desire the rigidness that I see in some communities, but their walking in the fear of the Lord is very sound and biblical. Thanks Beth!
--I received Healing Hearts free on my kindle through Book Sneeze and I have written this review with my own opinions. Thanks again Book Sneeze for this opportunity!

The Harvest of Grace

This book is the third in a series, by Cindy Woodsmall. I really have enjoyed Cindy's books and have passed her books on to others because I enjoy her writing so much. This particular book deals with forgiveness when people do not understand each other. This is an Amish based novel, so the people involved are also dealing with rules of the Ordnung(an unwritten code observed by the Amish). Sylvia Fisher--one of the main characters--struggles with her own desires and hurts and decides to leave home to avoid further temptation and hurt. Sometimes, it's easier to cut off the arm that causes sin, then to stay and resist. No damage to arms are done--just a descriptive way to show one removing themself from temptation. This book ties up loose ends from the first two novels and pulls several families and couples close together at last. I highly recommend Cindy Woodsmall as a writer!

This book was given to me free to review by the Water Brook Multnomah Pulblishing company . My opinion is just that--an opinion. Thank you for allowing me to read this and blog about it too!

The Christmas Singing By C. Woodsmall

This book is another great work by Cindy Woodsmall. It is the continuing story of The Sound of Sleigh Bells. I loved how the reader is led to believe one thing about Gideon and Mattie, the two main characters. Cindy weaves the truth through segments in conversations and finally when the truth is revealed--Mattie's heart breaks once again, but not in a betraying way. The one truth that is taught through this story is to never marry or have an easy relationship to avoid hurt. Life hurts sometimes, and two is better than one...another truth that is revealed in this relationship saga between Gideon and Mattie. What would you choose to do---if you found out dreadful news that would affect two people?---End the relationship or continue --knowing that pain will follow? Read this book and enjoy the ending as much as I did.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review
