Awesome

Another awesome book by Jennifer Spredemann. When best friends go on theirRumspringa trip to Florida, they never expected things to happen as the did.Silas is a caring young man who has to grow up during his Rumspringa. Josiahis his best friend. Great scriptures to strengthen yourfaith all while bringing the storyline together.It is a story of faith,forgiveness and love. Wonderful

The prequel to Country Brides series.

When friends Silas Miller and Josiah Beachy went to Florida for Rumspringa, they never thought they would be coming home with 1 less person.Josiah fell in love while in Florida with Kayla and now he is gone, disappeared, and no one, even Kayla, knows what happened.Silas took the loss of his friend hard, but it was even harder when his folks decided to move to Indiana, where Silas meets Pastor Dan. He was their English driver and taught Silas the truth about the Bible and God's words. This book is very touching and you will need tissues next to you.. then, after you read this, go to book #1, The Trespasser and read the whole series. I was gifted an early ARC for my honest opinion.

Rising Above Adversity

This is the Prequel to the Amish Brides series and sets the stage for the other twelve books. This is Silas Miller and Sadie Ann's story and the character development is excellent. Silas and his friend Josiah set off for Florida from their home in Pennsylvania Amish country for their rumspringa. While in Florida tragedy strikes and Josiah dies and Silas returns alone. Upon returning to Pennsylvania, Silas' family informs him they are moving to Indiana where he meets Sadie Ann. While attracted to each other, Silas and Sadie Ann both have a past. Will their pasts keep them from forming a meaningful relationship that will perhaps become a HEA? Be sure and read this real page turner to find out; I know you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Interesting story

My Review:I have enjoyed reading this Amish series, and I’ve also appreciated the fact that the author has made sure that the gospel has been shared in every book. It’s been interesting and heart-touching to follow the lives of the main characters through the series. If you are reading the series for the first time, you’ll want to begin with this book.In this story, both Silas and Josiah have choices to make, and the choices made in this book will affect their lives and the lives of their families all through the rest of the series. I came away with a new respect for Silas, and it’s easy to how see he becomes the strong, faithful character we read about as the series progresses. This is interesting, clean Christian fiction with a message of faith, hope, and love.I voluntarily received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Denki, Gott!“You need to be quick,” the attendant urged.Without another second, he nodded and rushed to the rollercoaster’s front car. The attendant waited until he clicked his safety belt on, then he lowered a metal bar in front of them.“I can’t believe we’re actually doing this!” Excitement exploded from Josiah Beachy’s voice as he bounded into Silas’s bedroom and shook him by the shoulders.Silas Miller grinned at his best friend as he attempted to fold his swim trunks and place them into his travel bag. “We are. Finally. The trip we’ve been talking about and planning for since…when?”“Ach, didn’t we talk about it when we were still in school yet?”“A week and a half at the beach!” Josiah grasped Silas’s arms and shook him.“I can hardly believe it.”I recommend reading.The Newcomer by Jennifer Spredemann is a wonderful well written 5 star book.I am looking forward to reading more books by Jennifer Spredemann.I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.AMISH COUNTRY BRIDESThe Trespasser (Amish Country Brides)The Heartbreaker (Amish Country Brides)The Charmer (Amish Country Brides)The Drifter (Amish Country Brides)The Giver (Amish Country Brides Christmas)The Teacher (Amish Country Brides)The Widower (Amish Country Brides)The Keeper (Amish Country Brides)The Pretender (Amish Country Brides)The Arrangement (featured in the Amish Spring Romance collection)The Healer (Amish Country Brides)The Newcomer (Amish Country Brides)
