In true Beverly Lewis fashion

(Part of The Postcard/The Crossroad series)

She has the perfect life: a beautiful house on the water, a loving husband, and her painting. And after spending years looking over her shoulder, Mellie thinks she's finally safe. But then that perfect world is shattered. When she's out with a friend and spots "that face," Mellie knows she has to run.

Leaving her house and husband behind, Mellie finds herself in Amish country--at the home of Lela Deninger, a single Amish woman with a room to rent. Mellie's husband is truly lost without her and can't figure out why she left. With the help of a close friend, he discovers that he is closer to the answer than he realizes. As Mellie waits with Lela for a phone call that will tell her what to do, she finds herself connecting with God in a way she never thought possible. Then when she finds out a depressing truth about her husband, Mellie realizes her true Sanctuary is in the Lord.

I truly enjoyed this book and read it with ease. Lewis has a wonderful way of drawing the reader in and holding their attention!

The Lewis's Sanctuary

My first David & Beverly Lewis read. I have enjoyed numerous Beverly Lewis books. David adds a bit of intrigue to Beverly's tender telling of stories within the Lancaster County Amish community. A great collaboration and most enjoyable read.

Sanctuary

This isn't really the type of book I would read if the author wasn't highly recommended... it seems like everyone who comes into the library is a Beverly Lewis fan. So I figured, why not try something by her? And I did...

I'm not usually a religious person... but I like the way this book portrays faith. The characters talk about their beliefs but don't do it in an annoying way; they don't shove it down the reader's throats. Instead of trying to force me to believe, the book simply opens my eyes.

That being said, this wasn't a completely religious book. Beverly Lewis is known for her Christian works, and this is no exception... except I actually enjoyed the story. It wasn't really all that (at least to me... someone more spiritual than me would enjoy it) but it's still a good read.

A Good Read

Melissa is recently married to her wonderful husband Ryan. Suddenly after a brief encounter with someone from her secretive past she leaves her husband and hides herself in an Amish settlement. Her husband's world is turned upside down with his wife missing. It sounds pretty predictable but for me it wasn't. There where some twists thrown in there. It starts off exciting and pretty much stays thrilling.

Another Amish fiction. Yeah I am on a Amish kick. Maybe I should start a challenge? Beverly Lewis is probably best know for her Amish series The Heritage of Lancaster County. Unlike her fellow Christian author Wanda E. Brunstetter she doesn't romanticize the Amish she adds mystery and psychological thrills. She also wrote this with her husband David. I don't if that is what made this one different for me because I have read other books by her and sometimes they fizzle out.

So what can say if I wanted you read this book? I like this book because lately I am looking for religion and these books have that. Just a little but it added in a smart way, in a real way. Where when you read the different situations the characters are going through you understand because you can add them into your own life. I like that.
