Book Description


An unplanned pregnancy. An absent father. Can love really endure all things?

Danielle Kent is anything but Amish. But as destiny would have it, she has fallen in love with an Amish man.

Now she’s 18, pregnant, and hopeful that the child’s Amish father—Matthew Lapp—will do the right thing and marry her. She knows Matthew plans to leave his Colorado settlement for a life in the Englisch world. But that plan never included a baby.

When Matthew walks away from her and their unborn child, she has nowhere to turn. Her unlikely friendship with Levi offers some comfort—yet they have so little in common. This wasn’t the plan she had for her life, and she has never felt so alone. She doesn’t want to be pregnant. Doesn’t want to be Amish. Doesn’t want to trust God.

And yet.

God has plans beyond what her mind can imagine . . . loving plans to show a lost young woman that His love never fails but endures forever.

His Love Endures Forever is the third book in the Land of Canaan series.  Beth Wiseman has written a wonderful story of redemption.  This is not a typical 'boy meets girl and everything works out for the best' story.  This is a real life situation in which many of our young people are living through. 
 
The difference?  GOD
 
God uses even an unplanned pregnancy and an unlikely friendship to bring good from all things.  I had not trouble relating to Levi' mom throughout the story.  She is the epitome of the mama bear protecting her young.  Love her for it!  Beth's writing pulled me into the lives of each of the characters.  I love how a simple fiction book can remind me to wait on GOD, not run ahead of Him. 
 
Rating: A
 
I look forward to reading the first two books in this series: Seek Me with All Your Heart and The Wonder of Your Love.  Even without reading the first two books, I had no trouble following the storyline or characters.  Beth seemlessly blended it all together!  Great job!


I received a complimentary e-book from Thomas Nelson and their BookSneeze program for my honest review.  I received no monetary compensation.
 
Blessings,
