The Healing Quilt by Wanda Brunstetter


Well Wanda has done another wonderful book! I always love to read her books, but I have to have a clear day to read it right through! I always want to find out what is going to happen! Her stories always suck me in!

Lamar and Emma Yoder Miller are living in Florida during the winter months as Lamar has trouble with arthritis.Emma enjoys the warmer weather but is missing her family, friends and one of her favorite past times...quilting. Lamar suggests that to pass the time maybe they could teach a quilting class in their new home.

A real mixture of all walks of life come together for this special quilting class. Each one has their own struggle- new baby, illness, workaholic, relationships, challenges. All are having many problems that they can not get a grip on but when they start the quilting class they seem to have help not only from Emma and Lamar but also from God.

I really like the way Wanda blends everyday problems that are occurring with many people all over the country and spins hope into those situations with prayer. She shows that even when we are at the bottom we can pray about our issues as well as help others out with theirs. Our problems do not always get "fixed" the way that we think they will. Life takes us on many twists and turns and many times it isn't fair. However; if we look at each new day as a gift and look past our problems many times we can see a different view- and help someone else.

I would suggest giving this book a read. Be prepared to want to help someone and to learn how to quilt! Thanks  to Shiloh Run Press for the copy of this book. All they ask for is a book review to be posted. This as all Wanda Brunstetter books is a good read!

Goodbye to Yesterday by Wanda Brunstetter


 Goodbye to Yesterday (Discovery Series #1)



Hey all you Wanda Brunstetter lovers... here is another great book from our favorite writer.
Luke and Meredith Stoltzfus are a young married couple that are going through some of the same struggles that we are all facing or have faced. Luke loses his job at the furniture store even though he is a talented woodworker, this starts a frustration inside of him as he is not able to provide for his family.
As he is struggling with his being laid off, not meeting bills, and all the extra stress that comes with problems. The one peron he pushes away and hides his feelings from is his wife. Will this hurt their relationship, will they become close again? Meredith is going through her own stress with having no money coming in, Luke does not want her to get a job and should she tell him her big secret?
As a new job becomes available can Luke rise to the occasion and learn the trade? Can Meredith keep her secret? Will this new job be a blessing or will it just bring more trying times for this young couple?
This was a great book. I love that Ms. Brunstetter went with a little bit of a different type of book- its thin, tall and part 1 of a 6 set series.
I received this book free of charge from Handlebar Publishing. In return for the book all that they asked me to do was share my honest review of the book with others. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did.
