Amish Vines and Orchards

review 1: My book club met last night to discuss the fourth and final book in the Amish Vines and Orchards series by Cindy Woodsmall. We have been anticipating Seasons of Tomorrow for months and were not disappointed in the conclusion of this great series. The novel got a unanimous thumbs-up and generated lots of good discussion. We highly recommend all the books in this series.The King and Byler families have faced numerous hardships and heartbreaks since establishing an Amish community in Maine. Now with a good harvest finally in, perhaps they can relax a bit. But life proceeds and its physical and emotional struggles continue. But there is hope in the new love, new life and strengthened relationships for all the characters in Seasons of Tomorrow.The characters are what my book cl... moreub liked most about this series, and Seasons of Tomorrow continued to develop old and new favorites. We all loved the introduction of Esther. She was a breath of fresh air. We also were pleased with the tracks that Jacob, Landon and Leah took. As one of our members stated “it ended exactly the way I wanted it to”. Hope and freedom were expressed as the characters fought to break free from past regrets and guilt to step into futures that pointed towards God’s will for their lives.Seasons of Tomorrow is set in an Old Amish Order and part of our discussion revolved around the restrictions that the man-made Ordnung placed on church members. That discussion led us into how our own denominations keep believers from the true freedom which is in Christ.All in all, Seasons of Tomorrow was a sure winner for us. If you have not read any of the books in this series, make sure to start with book 1, A Season for Tending. The books build upon each other and are not intended for stand alone reading.Recommended.(Thanks to Waterbrook Press for a review copy. All opinions expressed are mine and my book club’s.)
review 2: I selected this book from the bloggingforbooks.com program, in exchange for an honest review.In the past I have really enjoyed reading Cindy Woodsmall's books, but when I came upon The Winnowing Season, I was a disappointed. Only because Rhoda confused me. But you need to understand, I came into this series at book 2, so I missed the introductory of her and the King family. By book 2, I was trying to get caught up. This book, I discovered I missed book 3, however catching up with what was going on in Book 4 wasn't difficult. Especially with her fairly entailed synopsis at the beginning of the book. Are you confused yet? I hope not!I thoroughly enjoyed this book, found myself finishing it in the early dusk hours this evening. This book is what I expected from Cindy Woodsmall. I was lost in the characters and eager to know the outcome. To be honest, I wasn't sure what the outcome of the events were going to be, but was both pleased and surprised by the less that predicted events. There were three stories, no four, that were intertwined in this last book. For the most part, they are tied up and completed and for that I was grateful. I could see perhaps how in the future there could be a continuation, but for now...all questions were answered to the what if's. less
