Amish Front Porch Stories by Wanda
E. Brunstetter, Jean Brunstetter & Richelle Brunstetter contains eighteen short
tales of simple faith and wisdom. These
short stories take us to Amish country where each woman is going through a struggle.
I like that each story teaches us a life lesson. Simple Actions takes us to Berlin, Ohio where
Anna Hostettler lives next to Lucy who is a chronic complainer. What is the
best way to handle Lucy? Cardinal at the
Window in Seymour, Missouri has Esther Stutzman struggling with depression
while being overwhelmed with raising her seven children. How can Esther find joy once again? Nina’s Struggle has Nina Miller uncovering
the truth about her father. I enjoyed
each of these uplifting stories. We get
to see these Amish women have problems just like us. Just because they choose to live differently,
does not mean they do not have struggles.
Depression, loneliness, pride, feeling awkward, lacking confidence are
problems all of us face. These stories
allow us to learn a new way to overcome these various issues. There is a scripture that go along with each
story. I found myself writing down many
of them to contemplate later. I feel
that Amish Front Porch Stories would make a lovely gift especially to an
individual who has trouble overcoming depression. Finding joy in a humdrum life can be hard,
but there were some great tips provided.
You can read one, two or all eighteen of the short tales in Amish Front Porch Stories. I enjoyed these
well-written, heartwarming tales. This
is one of those books that I will be find myself visiting often.
Amish Front Porch Stories comes out on Tuesday, November 5 and can be pre-ordered on Amazon* (Amazon UK). Thank you for reading my review today. I will be featuring Apple Cider Slaying by Julie Anne Lindsay tomorrow as part of the Great Escapes Virtual Book Tour. May you have a blessed day. Take care and Happy Reading!
