Miss Tina's Amish Book Reviews

I finished reading An Amish Reunion by four amazing authors. Before I move forward and let you know my thoughts on this book I must warn you tears may fall, so make sure you have some tissues nearby. First story in this book is written by Amy Clipston, Their True Home. What a wonderful story this was. It had so many moments when you held your breath and tears fell. The perfect story for this Novella. Thank you Amy Clipston for heart felt story. The second story was written by Beth Wiesman called A Reunion of Hearts. This story takes place in Lancaster as well and will tug on your heart just a bit. Honestly, I haven't read much from Beth Wiesman and I am so thankful this book had her in it.

I just finished The Amish Widows Rescue and was once again blown away by the the writing of Rachel Good. She continues to make her stories relatable to the reader. In The Amish Widow Rescue we get to meet and love some wonderful characters like  Grace Fisher, Elijah, and Graces children who you will just absolutely love. It is when Grace becomes a widow and Elijah steps in as a neighbor to help her out with chores. However, Elijah is judgmental at first and questions the way Grace is raising her children, but in reality it was his own fears and past that was haunting him. If your looking for a good story that will make you want to turn the pages just a bit faster then I highly recommend  this book. You will be taking a journey with each person in the book and find that love and forgiveness can bring much healing to the soul. About the Author Rachel J.

Ever just get stumped when it comes to cooking, especially what to make for dinner.  I think of dishes that I can make that isn't only tasty, but what takes only one dish. I just love one dish meals or (casseroles) it makes cooking and clean up easy.  This week I went to one of my favorite recipe books by one of my favorite authors Wanda Brunstetter, called Amish Cooking Class. If you didn't know, Wanda also has a series of books out called Amish Cooking class, they are a must read and to be added to anyones library. This hamburger dish was a success and approved by my husband, so now I have another recipe to be added to my must go dishes when I am not sure what to make. Thanks Wanda for sharing these recipes with us and placing them in such a beautiful book with wonderful tips.  Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.
