This book was released on 2023-01-25 with total page 875 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While a young widowed Dokterfraa learns to heal the body, the Great Physician heals the heart … In Herb of Grace, Sarah Yoder, an Amish widow in Pennsylvania’s Whinburg Township, is doing her best to provide a home for her young family. But it’s difficult to pay the bills—until the local Dokterfraa, or herbal healer, makes a startling suggestion: Could she be a healer? As Sarah learns to compile her cures, she waits for God to do his healing work. In a man who rues a harsh decision. In a lonely prodigal who has lost everything. And maybe even in a herbalist-in-training who firmly believes she will never love again … In Keys of Heaven, Sarah Yoder is learning to use the herbs in her garden and fields. But Sarah’s relatives can’t resist doing some matchmaking between her and a prosperous visitor to their community. She should be willing for God to show her His choice of partner … and not allow her friendship with her neighbor, Henry Byler, to grow into anything more. The plant Sarah calls keys of heaven may grow in impossible places, but it’s not easy for people to find the place where they belong. So it’s quite a temptation to take matters into her own hands … In Balm of Gilead, with Henry Byler now engaged to an Englisch woman, Sarah Yoder is doing her best to find peace. But when Henry comes to her for a cure to heal his sensitive hands before his success as a potter is jeopardized, Sarah must stifle the longing in her heart. She must also be painfully honest about his new plan to be filmed for a reality show called Shunning Amish. Will the cost to the church be too high? Only the Great Physician has the power to change an impossible situation and bring people back to Himself. But Sarah has to wonder whether it might already be too late … “Adina Senft’s latest novel provides a wonderfully entertaining read while imparting wisdom that will feed the soul.” —Christian Fiction Addiction This is a heartwarming e-book collection of nearly 250,000 words--hours of comfort reading!

This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Forgiveness is the longest road, yet it is the shortest distance between two hearts.” —Whinburg Township Amish proverb Thirteen years ago, two little Amish girls disappeared from an orchard in Whinburg Township, Pennsylvania. It was just a blip on the TV news … until it became very, very personal for Megan and Ashley Pearson. Ashley doesn’t believe the story has anything to do with her. A straight-A student, she’s leaving for college with her boyfriend, and nothing is going to interfere with her plans for her life. But Megan isn’t so sure. She’s had dreams and nightmares that could be explained by long-buried memories. A road trip to Whinburg Township might give her some answers—and give her empty life a purpose besides playing video games in her parents’ basement. Samuel Riehl left the Amish church when his shame over his part in his sisters' disappearance grew too heavy to carry, and is trying to live Englisch, never quite able to look into a passing buggy in case he sees his mother’s face. And Rebecca Riehl, the Amish woman who lost not two, but three children all those years ago, has never stopped loving them, never stopped praying for them, and never stopped hoping that God will grant her a miracle. Two sisters want the truth. Two mothers want their daughters back. But will betrayal and loss prove stronger than love on the longest road home? "In this first book of a new series, Senft has crafted an appealing tale of searching for one’s true identity. There is also an interesting study of two mothers and how they have coped—one with her loss, the other with her guilt, and the role of faith." --Booklife The Longest Road is the seventh novel in the Whinburg Township Amish series. Books 7-9 can be read as standalones, with a thread of family and friendship running through them all. No strong language, just a loving kiss and a guaranteed happily ever after. If you like books by Jennifer Spredemann, Jennifer Beckstrand, or Serena B. Miller, you’re in the right place. Enjoy!

Hearts in Harmony Musical prodigy Levi Shetler hasn’t touched a piano since he secretly played one many years ago. His strict Amish community forbids instruments or the singing of any music not in their approved songbook. One person knows Levi’s talents: Mary Hershberger, the girl who promised years ago to keep his secret. Mary comes from a more liberal district than Levi, and they realize that, despite their differences, they have a shared love of music—and a shared confusion about whether their talents are God-given gifts or temptations luring them into the Englisch world. Both Mary and Levi will need to reconcile what they love with what their hearts say is right. Listening to Love Englischer Natalie Collins looks forward to Friday night suppers at Levi and Mary Shetler’s house every week: delicious food, wonderful conversation with her Amish friends, and, best of all, the presence of Levi’s older brother Lucas. Natalie and Lucas have become best friends despite their different backgrounds. They share a love of books, and he is teaching her about God in a way she can understand. But the closer they become, the more opinions everyone seems to have. Why can’t everyone understand that it’s possible to just be friends? When a terrifying accident happens, Natalie and Lucas are forced to confront their true feelings and decide if they can stay true to themselves and each other. A Beautiful Arrangement Lydia still can’t believe that she is Mrs. Samuel Bontrager. Or that she is seventeen with a six-month-old daughter. As Baby Mattie grows fussier by the day, Lydia wonders how she will survive a lifetime of marriage to a man she doesn’t love—at least not in the way she wants. Samuel knows that he and Lydia did the right thing by marrying when Lydia became pregnant. He has even grown to love Lydia, though he never seems able to say the words out loud. What if she doesn’t love him back? Just as Samuel thinks Lydia might be softening to him, she gets involved in investigating the mysterious past of a local homeless woman—a curiosity that threatens to drive the couple further apart.
