An Amish Home

Four Stories

By: Beth Wiseman, Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller, Ruth Reid

Narrated by: Clifton Harris

From best-selling authors Beth Wiseman, Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller, and Ruth Reid comes An Amish Home, a beautiful collection of four novellas that spread the warmth of an Amish living with every moment.

A Cup Half Full by Beth Wiseman

Sarah Lantz always dreamed of the perfect home, the perfect husband, the perfect family. When she married Abram, she knew she was on her way to securing her perfect life. But all of that changes in one moment when an accident leaves her unable to walk and confined to a wheelchair, dashing all of her dreams. As Abram starts to transform their home, Sarah begins a transformation in her spirit, and she begins, once again, to see her cup as half full.

Home Sweet Home by Amy Clipston

Down on their luck and desperate after they are evicted from their small apartment, Chace and Mia O’Conner reluctantly take Chace’s Amish boss up on his offer to rent them the daadi haus located on his property. They are certain they will never feel at home in the rustic cabin without any modern conveniences, and they start to blame each other for their seemingly hopeless situation. But with the help of their new Amish friends, Chace and Mia begin to enjoy their cozy cabin and realize that home really is where the heart is.

A Flicker of Hope by Ruth Reid

Fifteen years ago, Thomas and Noreen King were blissful newlyweds. Young, naive, and in love, life was rosy...for a while. Then trials and tribulations rocked their foundation, shattering them emotionally, and soon, their marriage was in shards. All hope for restoring their previously unshakable union seems lost. When fire destroys their home, Thomas and Noreen are left to sift through the rubble. As uncovered items from the remains of the house shake loose memories of the past, Thomas and Noreen begin to draw closer and a flicker of hope - and love - is reignited.

Building Faith by Kathleen Fuller

Faith Miller knows that carpentry is an unlikely hobby for a young Amish woman, but she loves the work, and it keeps the memory of her grandfather alive. So when her cousin asks Faith to build the cabinets in her new home, Faith is only too happy to take on the job, even if it is the most ambitious project she has ever taken on. The only catch is that she has to work with her ex-fiance, Silas. As they work to build Martha’s kitchen, can they put the past behind them and start to build faith in one another again?

good story

enjoyed the story it was interesting kept your attention love to listen to amish stories

HEARTWARMING & INSPIRING…

I enjoy these Amish stories so much. I find them to be so inspirational. They are stories of men and women who are dedicated to God, their marriages, their children and their Amish communities. The Amish featured in these stories take pleasure in the simple things in life and are GRATEFUL for them — things such as the beauty in a sunrise or sunset, a flower, the laugh of a child.

These stories are such a refreshing change from so much of what’s offered in entertainment today…vulgarity, sex, violence. I’m not a prude; I listen and read lots of books containing all of these things (it’s hard to find books that don’t contain these things), and what’s offered on TV — I won’t even get started on TV!

For me, these books have been such a nice change of pace. I’m looking forward to reading many more/listening to many more.

If I have only a few minor complaints, especially about this book. The narrator’s speech in some places is almost robotic (more so in the 2nd and 3rd stories); almost like something you’d hear in bad advertisements. I have also noticed that the use of Dutch speech is a bit odd and used inconsistently. I would have enjoyed the stories more if the stories eliminated the inconsistently used words entirely.

Great Wholesome

I love love stories without sexual charge, but true love. Any age can read this book.

Terrible for this Genre

First time doing an audible. I've read some of these authors before, but these 4 stories are all far too painful without enough love, godliness and good feelings for this genre. Don't waste your money.

passion & expression

the reader needed passion. Her voice seemed flat ... there were times she wasn't but I felt like she was like an aduiomated voices. Otherwise, the stories were good

Loved the stories, not the narration of them

Each of these was a great story. The narrator, though, was very monotone and did not really change her voice enough for characters to be distinguished. She also greatly missed the mark on expressing emotion. The nasally tone of her voice didn’t help at all. I almost gave up on listening several times because of this, but the stories pulled me through. I do think the annoying narration detracted from how truly good the stories were.
