It is fun to see these people come together and learn from each other. I look forward to many more books by Wanda E. Brunstetter. I received this book from the author for a fair and honest opinion. I regret that I didn't read it sooner. I loved it a lot. ( ![]() Emma takes her Amish quilting class to the Sunshine State. Emma and Lamar's quilting class seems to attract those needing something, be it encouragement, love, or just someone to listen and understand. Their latest class is in Florida and, once again, there is a mismatched group of people. With the help of Emma, Lamar, each other, and God's grace, they find they are not the same as when they started the class. I hope Wanda continues her Amish Quilt series. This is her best series yet and I hate to see it end. What a great read about how an Amish couple touches so many lives, and how the rebound of this love is passed on. Emma and Lamar have taught quilt classes before in their hometown of Shipshewana Indiana, and decide to do the same while in Pinecraft Florida. You can see God’s hand in this idea, and don’t know if Emma and Lamar realized how much they were going to change a number of lives. Your heart will break for some of them, and rejoice for others. In the end, all of the class participates lives do change, not always how we are hoping, but in the way God planned. We get to enjoy the beautiful setting of this book, through the eyes of each of the characters. Dangle your feet in surf, enjoy hunting for shark teeth, and just enjoy watching the surf. You never see how interconnected with others we are, and marvel how you are at the right place at the right time to do what God wants, in his perfect timing. I would love to take a quilt class from this delightful couple, how fun it would be, and not only learn how to quilt, but enjoy the scrumptious treats that are offered. Also, loved the fact that we are updated on all at the end of the book, and can put some closure in their lives, and wish we could join with them more. I received this book from the Publisher Barbour Publishing Inc., and was not required to give a positive review. Amish newlyweds Emma and Lamar have purchased a small house in a Florida community. Emma sents home for her supplies and advertises a quilting class. Quilting therapy evolves.
Emma and Lamar Miller purchased a winter home in Sarasota, Florida to get away from the harsh winters in Northern Indiana. Emma felt something missing in her life, and Lamar suggested she teach a quilting class to some of the local residents as she had done in Indiana. Her class filled rapidly with an assemblage of broken individuals. Each student carried his/her own personal and painful baggage, hoping that the quilting class would bring some diversion and healing. As in the past the Millers held each of their students up in prayer, and offered compassion and hope to each of their students in various ways. Six new students are introduced in "The Healing Quilt," each with significant and distressing circumstances. A variety of serious life challenges affect the students and their relationships with one another. As in "The Tattered Quilt" the author brings characters from her past books into the story, creating continuity and blending the past with the present. As in the prequels to this book there is a richness of character in both Emma and Lamar that remains with the reader long after the story has ended. Mercy and Christian love are evident throughout as well as beauty in the descriptive elements surrounding the location. Realism and consequences are evidenced by the resultant events in the lives of these characters, and healing comes in a number of ways. Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from Wanda E. Brunstetter through Barbour Publishing in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own, and no monetary compensation was received for this review. Kuuluu näihin sarjoihin
