A Shining Light by Judith Miller (Review)

Judith Miller has done it iagain! A Shining Light is one fantastic read.



This is a story of God's redeeming love and care.  It's a perfect rendition of love in action. I'm usually an avid reader of Amish Christian Fiction, however, I'm so glad I chose to read this heartwarming story of the Amana way of life.

After learning that her husband has been lost at sea, Andrea and her son Lukas set off on a journey to travel back home to live with her father in Iowa. Once they arrive, they find that her father is no longer living and has sold the farm to the Amana community. Left with no money and no place to live, Andrea and Lukas are taken in by this wonderful community known as the Amana village.

They both experience a love like they've never known before from the Amana people, and soon become a part of this loving community. 

After a time of living in this community their world is turned upside down, and it takes forgiveness on the part of Andrea, and the love of a good man, Dirk, to show her that God is a loving father and does allow His children to have second chances.

This book was a great read from start to finish. Admittedly, it was hard to put down and I was sad to see the story come to an end. 

Thank you Bethany House Publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book!
