His Love Endures Forever by Beth Wiseman

An unplanned pregnancy. An absent father. Can love really endure all things?

Danielle Kent is anything but Amish. But as destiny would have it, she has fallen in love with an Amish man.

Now she’s 18, pregnant, and hopeful that the child’s Amish father—Matthew Lapp—will do the right thing and marry her. She knows Matthew plans to leave his Colorado settlement for a life in the English world. But that plan never included a baby.

When Matthew walks away from her and their unborn child, she has nowhere to turn. Her unlikely friendship with Levi offers some comfort—yet they have so little in common. This wasn’t the plan she had for her life, and she has never felt so alone. She doesn’t want to be pregnant. Doesn’t want to be Amish. Doesn’t want to trust God.

And yet God has plans beyond what her mind can imagine . . . loving plans to show a lost young woman that His love never fails but endures forever.

What you just read was the synopsis of a book I recently read called, His Love Endures Forever by Beth Wiseman.  When I saw this book on Book Sneeze, I was drawn to it. As you know I am a big fan of the Amish fiction and I had heard that Beth Wiseman was an excellent author.  It was all that I expected.  I was drawn in at the very beginning and could not put it down until I had finished the last sentence on the final page.  This is a story of believing in yourself as well as believing in God.  The prevailing question that Danielle keeps asking herself is does God still love and accept you when you have had rough breaks all your life and then make a big mistake that threatens the future of all those around you?  The answer to this question is yes and throughout the pages of this book Danielle slowly comes to this realization.  This is a book that is worth reading. Its a great fiction book with an excellent message.

The Reason By William Sirls

What is the reason of life?  Why do bad things happen to good people? As a medical professional, how do you deal with a situation that is essentially out of your hands? As a parent, how do you cope with a child diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening cancer?  What can you do when you are facing a situation the devil has placed in your path and it feels like you are staring into the face of Hell itself.  Nothing seems to go right and everything seems to go wrong.

What if in the midst of your darkest hour, God came down to earth and took on the appearance of a man?  What if you looked into his eyes and instantly knew that he knew everything about you, all your thoughts, feelings, and prayers?  But at the same time an overwhelming sense of peace reaches down to your very core.  He looks at you with kind eyes, smiles, and only asks one thing of you.  His request in the midst of all that is wrong is to ONLY BELIEVE.

In this book, The Reason, by William Sirls, a storm in brewing.  At a small church in Michigan a bolt of lightning hits the cross in the front yard shattering it in half.  But that is only the beginning. For most of the people in this congregation, their lives will never be the same.  

James Lindy, the blind pastor, wonders if they can repair the cross and keep their faith through it all. 

Brooke is a single mother of a 5-year-old little boy named Alex who is fixing to enter a fight for his life when he is diagnosed with leukemia.  She would do anything to have her son healthy and whole. 

Macey, the oncologist that is treating Alex, struggles with her faith as she treats this sick child. 

And in the middle of it all, a mysterious stranger appears. A carpenter by profession but seemingly able to work miracles. He enters the lives of all the characters at just the right time but his only advice is to ONLY BELIEVE.  

This is an excellent book that I could not put down. I was reading with tears in my eyes and the message touched my heart. I recommend this book to anyone that has ever asked any of the questions stated above.  You can find out more here.
