The Shunning and the Shining - An Amish Romance Kindle Edition

It was a dark day for Joel Miller and his wife when the community decided to shun them. All the money that Bishop Alderman had gotten for his cow was gone, and Joel Miller had been the thief. That's what the bishop believed, and although Joel claimed he had nothing to do with the theft, judgment was swift and harsh. He and his wife were to leave.

But Joel had a lovely daughter, and he couldn't stand the thought that his impressionable child would have to face the ugliness of the world outside the community.

Would Esther be allowed to stay in the community, so she could continue to grow in a deeper understanding of the ways of the Amish? And if so, would her presence as the daughter of a shunned couple, really be a blessing to the community, or would it turn the whole community upside down? Can she find love and in a community that despised her parents, and could a faithful man see beyond failure and falsehood to embrace a faithful God-fearing Amish wife?

Join us on an emotional journey with deep lessons of faith and honesty, and a touch of humor with the adventures of Esther Miller.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Grace Given is an author of sweet, Christian Amish Romance.

For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by the simplicity and faith of the Amish people. In a world so busy and self-consumed, the virtues of a simple life are more and more appealing to many people.

Amish romance has given me the opportunity to express my own heart's desire for a world less cluttered, where love and virtue are front and center.

I hope and pray that you enjoy my stories, and that the warmth and love with which they are written touches your heart as much as they have touched mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Special Story!

I have enjoyed a number of Grace Givens' books. This one was special! It involves accusations of stealing and then four years later, unclean thoughts and actions, terrible offenses in an Amish community. Who is the guilty one? Strong faith is needed by the falsely accused.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting read!
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2019
I liked the fact that the people in the story lived their faith in trusting God to lead them on the correct path for their community. Some members had done wrong which hurt other members. The hurt members at all time followed God and showed true forgiveness. Pure Reads is the Publishing House, I can trust that all of their authors write clean Christian stories. A short novella that is clean, fun, and interesting to read helps me get away from my problems for a hour. I've read many books from Pure Reads this past year so Thank You for sharing the work of these Authors.
