My Review

The fourth book in the Hope Chest of Dreams series is so filled with hope and inspiration. Even though this is part of a series it can easily be read as a stand alone. Very uplifting,quick and easy read, the words just flew by. Very inspiring to see a nonbeliever Englisher become a believer by the faith filled messages of an Amish man. A sweet tale that takes us inside the minds of the main characters as one struggles in disbelief that the other is a nonbeliever and the nonbeliever struggles with wanting to be a believer but not knowing how to. It gladdens my heart to see this nonbeliever come to know God and discover who she really is as well. Beautiful story I highly recommend to readers of clean inspirational fiction. Pub Date 28 Aug 2018 I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
