Christmas at Promise Lodge

By Charlotte Hubbard

Book Overview

As the year draws to a close, the brand-new colony of Promise Lodge is thriving, a welcoming community that offers three Amish sisters a fresh start. And as Christmas approaches, gifts big and small are given with love . . . As Promise Lodge's first wedding arrives, the evidence of a community building a foundation for the future is a cause for celebration. But the bishop's narrow-minded wedding sermon doesn't sit well with the Bender sisters, the town's courageous founders, especially widowed Mattie Schwartz. She believes marriage and family aren't the most important of God's gifts-even if she suspects her tender feelings for Preacher Amos Troyer run deeper than simple friendship. Amos hasn't given up hope that stubborn, spirited Mattie will change her mind about taking another husband, but when an accident threatens to change the course of his life forever, he wonders if the Lord has sent him a message. He'll need faith, hope, and charity to find the right path-and a Christmas blessing to convince Mattie to walk it with him.

A Wonderful Series

The first two books, in this series, make enjoyable reading. I feel like the Bender sisters, owners of Promise Lodge, have become friends of mine. The writing is that good. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series. I would highly recommend.

Excellent Book

The book begins with Mattie's son marrying.Then Amos proposes to Mattie.They have been in love since the teenage years but Mattie's father told her not to marry Amos, That he was too poor. Both unhappily married others who predeceased them. Amos and the Bishop have a horrible accident and Amos calls off his wedding to Mattie permanently. It makes him miserable and prolongs his recovery. I do not think that the bishop will ever recover. Another Bishop very Charismatic comes to town at the end of the book.I do not trust the man but that will be answered in the next book.
