Review: Amish Front Porch Stories

I've loved reading stories about the Amish for years. I'm drawn to the way the focus on faith and not so much of the world. I love the "idea" of their life, but I know that I could never do without most of the modern appliances that I currently use. I'm also drawn to the community that they seem to have built. People come together in the good times and the bad. They visit and they work together for the good of everyone. In Amish Front Porch Stories the author tells us 18 short tales of Faith and Wisdom. I really liked the idea of these short stories because they each focused on a trait. Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness and Temperance.  I often don't enjoy short stories because I feel I don't get to know the characters. I didn't have to worry about this with Wanda E., Jean and Richelle Brunstetter as the authors.  Each story was so well developed and I truly felt touched by the traits that were being taught. This is a book that I'll read again and again just as a reminder of how we all need to work on ourselves and do better to help others.
