I just have a problem with a series that takes stories out of sequence. I understand from reading Girls from the mountain So that’s where Jan comes in
I just have a problem with a series that takes stories out of sequence. I understand from reading Girls from the mountain that the driving character here is Rose, do she leads off and we backfill with Jan’s tale and then pick it back up in book 3. As stand alone you would never know but observing the story this book is out of sequence. But as usual, historically and spiritually accurate and uplifting ...more

Two stories about Amish girls interacting with outsiders with varying and somewhat surprising results. Yes I will definitely continue, but the author’s list is daunting....more

I have read numerous historical Christian works surrounding the westward expansion. This was a relatively small book (probably novella class) but it was packed with history, human interaction, more God than I can give even myself credit for, but it comes out on every page and the author is also good at describing base human drives that make us ugly in comparison to what Godly wisdom looks like....more

Follow Tabitha’s testimony ( which will also help others) through years of degradation that shapes her outlook and requires lots of prayer. Her training as a nurse is not without foibles but leads to service in WW1 and deals with the Spanish influenza. This alone is a great reason to read this if it only serves to inform you what a true pandemic looks like. ...more

MI dropped this to 3 stars because the author rated himself 5 stars which is too much hubris for me. I downloaded the book to see what he had to say. My fellowship has never taught tithing in relation to salvation. We don't preach tithing over the pulpit. Most of us in the fellowship however apply the tithe principle for church and ministry support. We've never required tithing or implied tithing affects salvation in any way at all, so I was truly shocked that such a broad swath (according to the author of evangelical/Charismatic/Pentecostal fellowships are guilty of this tainted teaching....more
