Synopsis

Devotions for women that provide a refuge from the loud, restless world, where God’s truth can be clearly heard. Whether it’s the TV or radio continually playing in the background or the persistent pinging on our phones, the constant noise and frenetic pace of modern life can be overwhelming. The cacophony of cultural messages that permeate the air produces an inner restlessness that says, “You should be doing more, saying more, posting more, and sharing more.” More than ever, we need sanctuary, not only as a refuge from the noise around us but also as a place where God’s truth can be clearly heard. This 31-day devotional explores what it means, and what it looks like in very practical ways, to lead the “quiet life” Paul speaks of in 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12. Readers will come to see that a quiet life doesn’t mean escaping from the world around them but centering their hearts on Christ so that they can live with a clear focus, a quiet confidence, and a steady peace.

This is only the second Amish book I have ever read, and probably (maybe not...can't remember for sure) the first book from Beverly Lewis. And my overall opinion? I loved it.

Goodreads review by Mayda on March 25, 2019

This third book in the Crossroads series is so vastly different from the first two it is hard to believe it’s part of the series. Very little of it takes place in Amish country. It centers around a young non-Amish woman, her father, and her husband. The authors try to build suspense by waiting throu......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on April 09, 2017

Of all the Beverly Lewis books that I've read, I think this one was my least favorite. The story, as a whole, was good but I didn't like the way it was written. The thing that bugged me the most was that an explanation for Melissa's being on the run was not given until almost 200(!!) pages into the......more

Goodreads review by Patti on March 10, 2008

I just read this for book club and I didn't love it. Although, it was a quick read. Not something I would pick for myself. It's about a girl who picks up and leaves her husband with just a note. She is being chased and winds up hiding in an Amish community. As the story unravels in the last 1/4 of t......more
