Narration Toward Books Seek Me with All Your Heart (Land of Canaan #1)
What would cause the Amish to move to Colorado, leaving family and friends behind?Some Amish are making the trek to Colorado for cheaper land. Others are fleeing strict bishops with long memories.
For Emily Detweiler and her family, the move is more personal. Tragedy struck Emily in Ohio, shaking loose everything she believed was firm, including her faith. Her family took the bold step of leaving Ohio to resettle in a small Amish community in Canaan, Colorado, where they hope the distance will help erase painful memories.
David Stoltzfus's family moved to Colorado for reasons he doesn't understand. But Canaan is turning out to be something other than the promised land they all anticipated. Fearing that a health condition will cut his life short, David plans to return home to Paradise, Pennsylvania, as soon as he can. But then he meets Emily, who stirs feelings in his heart despite his apprehension about the future.
Emily's growing love for David surprises her, but she fears that he will find out the truth about her past and reject her. But what if the truth is that they are made for each other? And that God longs to give them the desires of their hearts if only they will seek Him first?

This book was recommended to me by a friend. From page one, I was totally engulfed in it. I loved the story and the characters and I love how Miss Wiseman painted the scene of Amish living. This is a good book that was a quick read for me and one that has made me feel like a better person for having read it.Two families from 2 different communities, but the same Amish faith.. find themselves in the same new small community. Emily is a young girl, holding a dark secret. Her family only knows part of it.. so she thought..she felt that she was tainted.. that no one would want herDavid- is a young man that hold his own secret.. but is it really as he thinks...Can he really have a family..As the 2 grow to know each other.. both their secrets come out.. and both realize that what they fear, does not
I could not put this book down....It's that good however the storyline of Lillian and her family starts in the Plain series before they move to Colorado..You don't have to read it first to enjoy the story this is just FYI...
After reading the Daughter's of Promise series it was fun to read the "behind the scene" things that were happening in that series.

I love how she dealt with some issues that aren't the norm for Christian fiction. Bit don't get me wrong, she still kept it appropriate! For some reason I had in my mind that all Amish fiction was lame and cheesy. Boy oh boy, I was wrong! What an awesome read. I just loved it! I completely fell in love with the
I read a lot of Amish fiction, but have never read anything written by Beth Wiseman so it took me a little time to become used to her writing style. There were some things in this book that made me question its authenticity at first and at times I found the voices she gave to her characters to be a little modern to really connect with them as Amish.

Seek Me with all your Heart by Brenda WisemanReviewed for: Mommykins, who loves her some Amish/Inspirational/Bible-Toting Romances, but thought this was just the outside of enough.Disclaimer: SPOILERS! Like whoa, majorly, and totally filling the ante room of yon review :) Warning: this book review is rated G. It is also probably filled with plot inaccuracies due to skimming and boredom (but this may be the fault of the author, she was kind of random). No offense is intended towards the author,
