Miss Tina's Amish Book Reviews

Sisters of Lancaster County Book 3

A Faithful Gathering

Leisel Bachmann left her Amish roots and beloved sisters to pursue a career in medicine without a second thought. She has an Englisch boyfriend, Nick Jordan, and dreams of a new life--but those dreams come crashing down when her sister Marie is diagnosed with cancer.

Soon nothing is going as she planned--not her state boards, not her first nursing job, and certainly not her relationship with Nick. As she becomes increasingly discouraged, her aunt shares the story of Leisel's grandfather during World War II and the struggle he faced between returning to Lancaster or being with the woman he loved.

Peace and a vision for the future are difficult to find, and when Nick leaves Pennsylvania for a completely new life, Leisel is faced with impossible choices. Will she stay in Lancaster, close to her family and the traditions of her past? Or learn from her grandfather's story and embrace a life of love and service in an uncertain future?

My Thoughts

A Faithful Gathering has to be my favorite book in this series. Leslie Gould, truly has a gift of bringing historical events and telling the story of how Amish served their country. However,  Aent Suz  makes this story truly  come to life when she retells story of Leisel grandfather during WWII.  

I just loved this whole series and recommend this book series to anyone who loved to read about Amish a bit of History.

It is in these times that we are vulnerable to temptation, to weakness of spirit, and indulgence in anger. Katy's story is one of courage that shows us how faith can show us the way, even when we wonder if God is listening. A w...

Earths Table

Food is more than sustenance. It’s heritage, healing, and home. In these pages, of Wandas Brunstetter's book Farm to Table, you will discover a celebration of simple abundance: recipes passed down through generations, the quiet beauty of rural life, and the deep connection between what we grow and how we live. Whether you're drawn in by the aroma of warm bread, the rhythm of planting seasons, or the stories held within every shared meal, this book invites you to slow down, gather close, and rediscover the richness that comes when we eat with intention and live in harmony with the earth. Meet the Author: Welcome to my writing world. It is my hope that you will not only enjoy a good story when reading one of my books, but will learn more about the Amish way of life.
