Amish Prayers (Amish Strands of Love & Chastity #1)
Saraah Sowell
Will she survive the ultimate test of faith through her prayers?
Life for the Amish is never easy, but sometimes terrible things happen even to those who live the most pious and simple lives. When bandits attack a simple Amish community, they forever change the lives of a little girl and the woman who will become her adoptive mother.
Sometimes the worst of circumstances create the most beautiful people, but only if they allow themselves to heal.
Rebecca Yoder is an orphan adopted by a Mennonite church, serving the Lord along with the nuns and other orphans. She is prepared to devote her life to God, to take her vows of chastity and serve the Holy Church for the rest of her life. Not once has she considered a life that is any different—this is the only place she really remembers as home aside from a few hazy, painful memories of the night her parents were killed.
However, a chance meeting with a handsome stranger quickly turns her world into something from a fairy tale. As she learns that her feelings are not sinful and there is nothing inappropriate about desiring the love of a family, she must learn to trust God, to have faith that His perfect will is revealed in time. When everything falls apart just as she’s learning to love a man, her faith is put to the ultimate test.
“Miss, will you do me the honor of courting me?”
Rebecca was dumbfounded. She had never been approached by any man, so she didn’t know how to react to the proposal. “Umm...”
For the young man with the massive family, love has always been a treasured commodity shared amongst parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, nieces, nephews and even cousins. On a whim, Matthew Glick decides to take his youngest niece and nephew—who happen to be his favorites—to the Berlin Mennonite Church one day, and his life is forever changed. He meets a beautiful, innocent woman and immediately falls in love.
It is love at first sight, but his past threatens to tear apart everything he works so hard to create with the naive, shy girl named Rebecca. When he learns that his offer of courtship and marriage is acceptable to the woman he loves dearly, life should be absolutely perfect. Sometimes things aren’t always as they seem though, and his inner demons may ruin their happily ever after.
Is Rebecca ready to leave the church behind and accept love?
Can Matthew escape his inner turmoil and allow someone to capture his heart completely?
