Genre: Amish/Christmas
After tragedy strikes the family of young Naomi Bachman, her
friend Rebecca does all she can to help. But things get complicated when Naomi's
husband, Micah, returns from combat tours in Iraq
and Afghanistan .
He is under the Meidung--the shunning--and no one is permitted to
speak to him or eat with him.
But God has a way of working on the hearts of His
people--especially at Christmas time. When an unexpected turn of events sets
things right, miracles happen to the Amish community of Paradise ,
to the Shrock family--and to Naomi.
Here is warm and tender story of faithfulness and
reconciliation at the most wonderful time of the year.
AN AMISH FAMILY CHRISTMAS is a sweet Christmas story. I like
the way Mr. Pura works military into Amish stories a sure-fire way of tension,
knowing their stance. I wondered how this story would play out, with Micah’s
determination and strong-will, and the ministers’ equally strong will about the
bann.
The story had some wow
moments. I literally couldn’t put this book down. If you are looking for a
different sort of Amish story this Christmas, then AN AMISH FAMILY CHRISTMAS is
one to consider. Recommended. $10.99 hardcover, with slipcover. 144 pages.
