Book 3 in the Cadence of Grace series by Joanne Bischof was a joy to read. Christian fiction is my escape from lust and perversion of television. As a senior citizen, I have no interest in reality TV and certainly don't want to read anything I'd be afraid for my grandchildren to see.

Joanne writes from the heart. Hurt and sorrow is not a stranger to her characters. Grace and mercy abound from the family and friends of Gideon, a man with a past and many mistakes to undo. Lonnie loves Gideon but thinks he is lost to her. Can she really forget him and make a new live with Toby?

Christy Award-finalist, Bischof has a bright future in writing stories of God's love. Her trilogy of books center on characters from Appalachian Mountains. Being from North Carolina and attending college in Boone, peaked my interest in this writers interpretation of the culture and country living in Appalachia.

I received this book free from Multnomah Press to review for Blogging for Books.

For Every Season Amish Viines and Orchards, book 3

Cindy Woodsmall is one of my favorite authors. The simple life of the Amish and the focus of God in their lives is a pleasure to read. The King's Orchard has many problems in their first year in Unity, Maine. Friction between brothers over their feelings for the same women create another dilemma in the lives of the workers. Rhoda moves in to stay with Englisch neighbors and her spiritual gift of "heightened intuition" shows her information about Camilla feels too sensitive to share but too wonderful to ignore. Her beau Jacob needs to grow up and think of others for a change. Will the harvest survive.
This book was given to me by Waterbrook Multnomah publishing for my review.
