Amish Front Porch Stories by Wanda, Jean, and Richelle Brunstetter

We have been socked with snow here in Minnesota!  So it's a perfect time to get caught up on my reading.  

I was so excited to start reading this book.  From the back: Come and sit awhile as you enjoy 18 fictional short stories of love, joy, and the peace found in Amish country.

Amish Country is known for an atmosphere of peace and quiet, perfect for front-porch sitting with a good book. Join New York Times bestselling author Wanda E. Brunstetter, her daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, as they share 18 heartwarming stories from Amish Country. These fictional short stories include journeys we can all relate to as we seek how to live led by love, joy, peace, patience, and other Fruits of the Spirit. Meet Anna, who struggles to show love to a cantankerous neighbor; Laura, who endures infertility; Nora, whose pride threatens to consume her life; and other women who walk in their faith each day. 

I just really love when family comes together and makes something spectacular.  This book and the stories in it are really special.  These stories are uplifting and based on the fruits of the spirit.  You can curl up and read these one by one or all in one sitting. 

The story that touched me the most was Laura's Choice.  After years of struggling with my own infertility I really felt Laura's heartache and how hard it is to wait and be patient.  It is hard to wait on the Lord when we want things now!  Reading this story took me back many years ago and through many emotions.  Thankfully Laura and I both had happy endings!

This was just such a good book.  Pair it with scripture and you can use this book for daily devotions.  When I get to pick at our bookclub this is the book I will be choosing!  So pick up your copy today and enjoy the beautiful stories celebrating community, faith, and love.  Happy reading.
