Amish Farm Trilogy

review 1: Book#1 -series Amish Farm triolgy,"A Stranger's Wish" by Gayle RoperI have read these books back to front, 3-2-1 at different times and it was fun with the characters. I am sure it would have been better had I read this one first though.this books starts with mystery and runs through the story. Kristie Matthews comes from a well to do family of lawyers and they wanted her to follow in their steps but she marches to a different drummer and wants to paint. She moves to an amish farm and rents rooms to live in area that is ripe for a painter to find lots to paint. At the beginning she is bitten by a dog and goes to ER where she meets a stranger who gives her a key to keep for him and this begins the mystery.Come read this story and meet some wonderful characters and the Zo... moreoks family that live here midst the amish folks.Kristie will learn much about others and herself as she lives in Lancaster County. She is caught up in danger while she has this mysterious key and tries to help its owner come to terms with God and his faith.
review 2: This was a wonderful book, I would suggest this book to be a first to a new reader of Amish lit because it's a very light read and doesn't give mystism about their culture but a very real perspective. I have read a lot of Amish tales that have me at one moment believe that I to should be Amish. They make me feel like an awful Christan. This book clearly marks the very real diffrences between old order Amish (non belief of Jesus as the savior) New order Amish ( those who believe Jesus is the savior but still think works over grace to redeem salvation) When you first learning about the Amish culture it's so beautiful and sweet and you think it's lacking in all the junk the moderm world brings in but this book shows you how Amish or not we are all still people. There are Amish people who live their lives never understanding a true relationship and yurning to be with Jesus just as their are in own churches. The little mystery at the end will have you drawn to a sweet old man and have you hate him in an instant. less
