Plain Promise

But some of the best of this genre are Beth Wiseman’s Daughters of the Promise series. Beth Wiseman writes the some of the “quirkiest” Amish stories I have read ... Plain Promise by Beth Wiseman
Fearless
On 9/8 Sarah Katie wrote: Max Lucado has written a book that is so appropriate for our times. People are “freaking out” left and right, scared of what might come.

The Rivers Run Dry
On 4/7 Sarah Katie wrote: I enjoyed Sibella Giorello's writing. She's descriptive, but also is discerning with just how much she descibes. The Rivers Run Dry is the 2nd book about this character (Raleigh Harmon) by this author. Though it's not exclusively part of a series, it would have helped me to have read the previous Raleigh ...
