The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club

review 1: I read this book after my Mom continuously told me how much she enjoyed. We're both avid book readers, so.... I decided I'd give in and try this book. I'm glad I did. It's a short, quick, very uplifting read. Widow Emma Yoder decides to teach a six-week quilting class. Tell me..... what do these six people have in common (an Amish widow, a troubled young woman, a tough biker, a ministers wife, and a troubled married couple have in common?) Issues. I know, I know, we all have issues and problems. Some of us remain silent while others will open up and talk. Well, that's kind of what happens here. Each person in the quilting class has his/her own issues. It takes some warming up for these six strangers to begin talking to each other. Not only do these people learn the art of ... morequilting, through Emma's kindness and spiritual guidance, they form a strong bond with each other and learn from Emma's wisdom. I plan to read the second book to this. Well done Ms. Brunstetter.
review 2: I thought this book and series by Wanda E. Brunstetter was much better than her other books. The primary reason for me was less "god/religion in your face".Brunstetter has written Amish fiction books before, but sometimes they just made me roll my eyes with too much scripture. This offering tied the faith into the story in a much more humanistic manner. For me, this created a stronger meaning and less blatant (and offensive, repetitive) "witness". I admire those with a strong Christian based faith, even as it is not for me. To tie into others and help their lives without judgement is a very positive living of the word. I really look forward to the next book. less
