![]() Lastly, though I don’t like cliffhangers at the end of a book, there was enough closure to satisfy me and looking forward to The Timepiece coming September 2019. I know I hate to see characters go through hard things, but I love seeing their growth in the end as it gives me hope in my own trials! Forgiveness, redemption, and restoration are strong themes in this one. ![]() Though they went through fiery trials, each took it with a measure of grace and grew in faith as they depended on God to help them through it. Sylvia, Earnest, and Rhoda Miller are characters that I could easily see meeting if I ever visited the Amish community they were a part of. Their faith never wavered and their struggle with their human emotions is something we all deal with from time to time. I think what I admired the most, is how they clung even closer to God and His promises in His word. And there’s a whole lot happening here to make your head spin! My heart ached for each hurt the characters experienced, for each doubt and fear and for strained relationships where there had been peaceful harmony. Therefore, I eagerly read this latest novel, barely wanting to put it down lest I miss something happening in the pages. I had devoured everything I could find by her! She’s always written with passion and a healthy respect for the Amish lifestyle. When I first discovered Amish fiction early in my Christian fiction reading, Beverly Lewis was the author who introduced me this whole new world. How can they all weather the coming storm? It shakes the very core of everything she’s believed and has the potential to implode her relationship with her Dat. Sylvia Miller snoops in her father’s Tinderbox, setting the course for a twenty-year-old secret to threaten to tear apart her family, her parents’ marriage and her community. All opinions shared here are my own truthful thoughts about this story. I borrowed The Tinder Box from the local library. This book is one of the Authors best books. I highly recommend it to my Goodreads friends. Wait for The Timepiece, available in September of 2019.Īll readers of Amish Fiction and fans of Beverly Lewis will want to read the Tinder Box. I loved the unpredictable twist near the end of the story that will leave readers anxious for the compelling conclusion to The Tinder Box. I thought it was a heart warming story that taught a good lesson on the importance of honesty with those you love. The motto of this story is not to keep hidden secrets from those you love and also the importance of having a forgiving heart. A secret that robbed Earnest of his peace of mind and drove him into deep conviction. A secret that had the power to hurt his family should anyone discover the real truth that he was hiding, locked away in his Tinder Box. ![]() But there was a secret that Earnest hid from his family and the Amish church. In fact folks forgot he once was from the English world. After a time they were married and started having children.Įarnest became a respectable Amish man in his community. Soon he started to court a lovely Amish girl that he'd met at a road side vegetable stand. He went through a time of proving and then joined the Amish church. So when he was a young adult in college and he was hurt by someone he trusted and loved, he made a big change in his life. His grandparents however were plain Mennonites and had a lot of influence in young Earnest Miller's life. How could it be any better?Įarnest Miller grew up in the fancy English world. Awesome reading experience as far as I'm concerned. Totally a five star rating from this reader. Wow!!! Not since Beverly Lewis' book, The Shunning, have I been so caught up in any of her stories as I was this one. I received this book in exchange for my honest review and am truly happy to provide it! All the thoughts are my own. I'm giving it 3 stars but if the whole book had been like the last page I would have given 5 stars. Though that ending was slightly surprising and I NEED to read the next one! If you like Amish books you definitely need to check this one out! There was a good bit of intrigue to go along with the rest of the story and the ending has me wanting to read the next book so bad right now! She did a wonderful job with this novel and I look forward to the next book in the series! Let's just go with it's not my cup of tea. My Thoughts: I liked this book, I really did. *shrugs* That may just be me though.įor where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. It was like it was doomed from the start. My favorite character/s: Hmm, I guess that would have to be Sylvia, she was an interesting character and I liked reading about her but I kinda disliked her relationship with her beau.
