An Amish Wedding By Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller, & Kelly Long


Book Description

Three Amish women yearn for the perfect wedding.

"A Perfect Plan" by Beth Wiseman

Priscilla King has been planning to marry Chester Lapp since she was sixteen years old, and when Chester proposes on Priscilla’s nineteenth birthday, wedding plans begin immediately. What wasn't planned was all the problems the couple encounters as their big day approaches. A house disaster, a ruined wedding dress, and a sick attendant all make the couple wonder if God's sending them signs to call things off.

"The Perfect Match" by Kathleen Fuller

Naomi Fisher has had great success at matchmaking her family members and friends. Now with her sister’s wedding right around the corner, Naomi wonders why she’s able to find husbands for her friends and family, but not one for herself.

"The Perfect Secret" by Kelly Long

Rose Bender has recently become engaged to handsome but somber Luke Raber. She agrees out of a sense of duty and a willingness to settle for solid friendship as a basis for the engagement. But as she watches her friend's excitement over her soon-to-be wedding, Rose wonders if there shouldn’t be more to her relationship with Luke. She begins to examine Luke and his life more closely and is amazed when she stumbles upon an exciting, secret side of him that engages her mind and heart.

Book Review

I have to admit I'm a sucker for romance novels. I was excited to get a 3 novel in 1 book all about L-O-V-E. I have to say after reading the first novel, A Perfect Secret, I was left disappointed. The characters lacked depth and the plot itself was weak. By the second novel, A Perfect Match, I had little hope for anything better but was happy to finish it was a thought of, “well that wasn't as bad.” A Perfect Plan finished the book and I was finally able to finish it and feel like reading the three books weren’t a complete waste of my time. I can’t say I’ll be recommending this collection to anyone but I will be looking out for something else by Beth Wiseman.

Heroes and Villains of the Bible By Thomas Nelson


Book Description

50 true-life adventures of real people from the Bible—stories of good versus evil, right versus wrong, and heroes versus villains—and their life-shaping lessons that point children to God—the greatest hero of all!

The Bible is packed with stories of courageous people who loved and served God, and how He used them to do great things in the world. It is also filled with villainous people who disobeyed God and did horrible things. Heroes and Villains of the Bible encourages its readers to aspire to become great, courageous, and heroic servants of God, and reject all that is evil in the world.

With Heroes and Villains of the Bible, children will realize some of their favorite heroes aren’t from the movies, but are real people from the Bible.

Book Review

What I loved about receiving this book is that it is not just your normal kids book filled with tales of the Bible, but the Bible itself! What better way to get a child interested in reading the Bible?! The size of the book, illustrations, fonts and styling of the book would appeal to any young adult I know. I would definitely recommend this book to parents in need of a gift for their own child or even as a gift for their kid's friends. I can't wait to pass mine on to my nieces!!
