De: Beth Wiseman, Ruth Reid, Mary Ellis

Narrado por: Lauren Berst

From best-selling authors in the Amish genre come three sweet stories of romance and miracles.

Always Beautiful by Beth Wiseman

Becky Byler is 18 and overweight. She is overwhelmed by the embarrassment she feels when comparing herself to other girls her age. Having lost all hope, she considers taking her own life. As she stands before rushing water, unable to swim, Becky begs God for a miracle. In just several months, Becky sees her prayers answered as food and temptation lose their hold over her. She’s finally pleased with how she looks, but does she like the person she has become? And has the man she has dreamed of been right beside her all along, loving her exactly as she is?

Always His Providence by Ruth Reid

Widow Rosa Hostetler has one month to pay her delinquent taxes before the county auctions her farm. She’s prepared to sell whatever is necessary to pay the lien, but she isn’t willing to request money from the community’s widow fund. She’s embarrassed and refuses to admit she needs help. Rosa depends on income from selling eggs, but when that income is threatened, only a miracle can help Rosa accept the kindness of a neighbor.

Always in My Heart by Mary Ellis

Hope Bowman believes God is punishing her for giving up her firstborn son when she was a teenager. She’s hidden this secret from her husband, who is thankful for their daughters but longs for a son. Hope prays desperately, but the son God sends her isn’t a new baby but the 15-year-old boy she gave up years ago.

“Wisdom to Understand”

JWright
After listening to the previous novel with coarse language and sensual romance scenes, I decided to select a topic I knew would be safe— the Amish.

This book is a collection of three novellas, set in Paradise, PA in the community of “plain folks.” Each novella focuses on a family in the settlement, so that the listener becomes more comfortable with the characters as the story progresses.

I enjoyed the initial novella best. The character of Hope is mature in most of her actions. I lost patience with Rosa, who usually made an unpredictable choice. The end of the story teaches a lesson in humility. The third novella discusses a topic that young girls sometimes face— judgment by the outward appearance rather than individual character.

The narrator for the second novella was stiff and without expression. Possibly the listener’s inexpressive reading influenced the concepts the listener might have developed of Rosa.

Awesome

there are 3 stories and each one was amazing!! Lessons also to learn we need to Trust in God and what He has planned for our lives.

the theme of forgiveness

I love the faith and love and forgiveness shown in this beautiful story. it also shows how easy it is for us to get wrapped up and self.
