I changed my mind about Christian fiction when I first read a book by Frank Peretti - it was a novel, and not preachy either .. and I thought, "Oh! Maybe I WOULD like to read more"<br /><br />Julie @ Knitting and SundriesJulie https://www.blogger.com/profile/01670155947411449802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324469465904961710.post-71047985791581090272010-10-28T20:39:18.410-04:002010-10-28T20:39:18.410-04:00Veens -- Yes, check it out!

Check it out!<br /><br /><b><i>Brenna</i></b> -- The Amish world is so incredibly fascinating. Just their ability to stay strong and be consistently separate from technology and still live an incredibly fruitful life -- it certainly makes you wonder how much you really need that cell phone with you at all times, huh? :) I don't think I could live without it...!<br /><br /><b><i>Sandy</i></b> -- I really enjoyed the setting. It really felt very authentic.

It seems that there are a lot of Amish books out there right now, and I have never tried one. I think all the aspects of their lives are just fascinating and would love the chance to visit them. It sounds like it was a really interesting and well rounded book.

I had no idea that it was a book that Christian-enthusiasts would support, and quite frankly, I probably wouldn't have read it. However, it sort of surprised me that it would be in that category anyway, since murder, sex, drugs, alcohol, and more are referenced in it, and the only time any quotes from the Bible are mentioned are during a funeral which seemed appropriate, not out of place. I guess I just don't know what qualifies for that genre?Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324469465904961710.post-64112124757919548702010-10-27T22:35:02.754-04:002010-10-27T22:35:02.754-04:00As someone who generally runs the other way when I...As someone who generally runs the other way when I see a sign saying Christian Fiction, this sounds like a really interesting book.
