I always forget how much I love Beth Wiseman and her books until I pick up the new one. This book was all I wanted it to be plus some and to me it was better as there was no tragedy in the last couple of chapters that they needed to overcome as in many other Amish books I read. This book is the first book in a new series called A Land of Canaan Series. It is about Emily and her family, who has moved to this new Amish community and how they settle in, meet new people, strengthen their relationship with Christ, and even some humor. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next installment. Good job Beth! Emily Detweiler and her family moved to Colorado after a devastating event that will haunt Emily for the rest of her life. Emily vows to start a new life, one that will never include marriage. David Stoltzfus isn't quite sure why his family has moved to Colorado, but he vows to move back to Paradise, Pennsylvania as soon as he can. David, too, is convinced he'll never marry. When Emily and David meet, they both begin to care for each other. Will their love overcome their reasons for not wanting to marry? "Seek Me with all your Heart" is the nicely done first book in Beth Wiseman's new "Land of Canaan" series about an Amish community living in Colorado. Wiseman uses several characters from her "Daughters of the Promise" series in this book, namely David and his family, and fans of that series will be eager to find out what happens to David. David's reasons for not wanting to get married are understandable and it is interesting to see how he's grown through the series of books and how much he grows in this particular book. Emily's fears about marriage are truly heartbreaking and show how even the Amish are not immune to crime. Wiseman deserves kudos for treating a brutal subject so sensitively. The romance between Emily and David is nicely done and very believable. While their romance is the center of the book, there are several other interesting storylines. The continuing marital problems of Katie Ann and Ivan are a central part of the book and will be explored even further in the next book in the series (I wish I didn't have to wait a year to find out what happens!). For me, in many ways, the most interesting secondary character was Martha. At times she made me laugh, other time she made me cry. I'm anxious to find out what happens to her in the next book. "Seek Me with all your Heart" is yet another good book set in the Amish Community by Beth Wiseman. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Very well written story. Took me a little bit to get into the story, but once I did, I enjoyed getting to know these two families and seeing how they were dealing with hard realities they each experienced. Alot of interesting characters in this story and I look forward to getting to know them even better in the next book in this series, "The Wonder of Your Love". ( )
