Unbreakable

Enter Today - 2/11 - 3/5!

This last week I was reading many different books to use sort of like a run away from the daily stress of Dear Hubby having surgery.  But one book did not make it a run away at all.  Instead it was better for it pulled me into the community and made me part of the events building there.  Now that is great writing.  Better is that I have not had a single book on the Amish or Mennonite lives that has pulled me in this well.  Unbreakable by Nancy Mehl delivered me to the town of Kingdom and let me get to know the many people who have kept this place one of calm and serenity.  Now it has become a place of fear and anxiety spreading all over.  Never have they been threatened before and with their strong beliefs of non-violence they are becoming divided on how to keep Kingdom and it's residents safe.  I hope that Nancy plans on bringing us back here so we can see the next step of rebuilding and forgiveness bring life to a new height of love.

Unbreakable Gentle and unassuming, Hope Kauffman has never been one to question the traditions of her Mennonite upbringing. She quietly helps her father run Kingdom Quilts and has agreed to the betrothal he arranged for her with the devout but shy Ebbie Miller. Despite the attempts of Hope and other Kingdom residents to maintain the status quo, changes have already begun to stir in the small Mennonite town. The handsome and charismatic Jonathon Wiese is the leader of the move to reform, while Ebbie insists Kingdom must remain true to its foundation. When Hope's safety is threatened by a mysterious outsider, she can't help but question what she's always been taught about the Mennonite tradition of nonviolence. As it swiftly becomes apparent the threat Hope faced is only the beginning, the town that's always stood so strong finds itself divided. With tensions high and their lives endangered by an unknown enemy, will Hope and the people of Kingdom allow fear and division to break them or will they draw on the strength of the God they serve?  Meet Nancy Nancy Mehl lives in Wichita, Kansas, with her husband Norman and her very active puggle, Watson. She's authored fourteen books and is currently at work on a new series for Bethany House Publishing. All of Nancy's novels have an added touch - something for your spirit as well as your soul. "I welcome the opportunity to share my faith through my writing," Nancy says. "God is number one in my life. I wouldn't be writing at all if I didn't believe that this is what He's called me to do. I hope everyone who reads my books will walk away with the most important message I can give them: God is good, and He loves you more than you can imagine. He has a good plan for your life, and there is nothing you can't overcome with His help."  I received a copy of this book from Litfuse and the Litfuse Chicks to share with you by way of a review.
