Amish Journey

They both love music. Will God deny what brings them such joy? Musical prodigy Levi Shetler hasn't touched a piano since he secretly played one years ago. His strict Amish community forbids instruments or the singing of any music not in their approved songbook. Levi asks God often why music tempts him when playing an instrument isn't allowed in his world. One person knows Levi's talents… Mary Hershberger, the girl who promised years ago to keep his secret. Mary comes from a more liberal district than Levi, but she's facing family troubles of her own. The mutual care for an aging Englischer, Adeline, reunites Mary and Levi as young adults. They realize that, despite their differences, they have a shared love of music-and a shared confusion about whether their talents are God-given gifts or temptations luring them into the English world. The couple realizes they must compromise or part ways, but a tragic accident shakes their decision. Both Mary and Levi will need to reconcile what they love with what their hearts say is right-because even as their passion for music brings them together, it could be what tears them apart. The first novel in the new Amish Journeys series by bestselling author Beth Wiseman, Hearts in Harmony explores how far the heart will travel for the melody of love.

He's Amish. She's Englisch. They are best friends, despite what the gossips say. But could the rumor mill know more than they do? Englischer Natalie Collins looks forward to Friday night suppers at Levi and Mary Shetler's house every week: delicious food, wonderful conversation with her Amish friends, and, best of all, the presence of Levi's older brother Lucas. Natalie and Lucas have become best friends despite their different backgrounds. They share a love of books, and he is teaching her about God in a way that she can understand. But the closer they become, the more opinions everyone seems to have. Levi and Mary, Lucas's family, and even Natalie's mother-whose own life is a mess at the moment-have concerns about their relationship. Why can't everyone understand that it's possible to just be friends? Besides, they couldn't be together even if they wanted to be. Lucas would never leave the Amish faith, and Natalie is Englisch and pursuing a degree in veterinary medicine. But when a terrifying accident happens, Natalie and Lucas are forced to confront their true feelings and decide if they can stay true to themselves and each other. The second novel in the Amish Journeys series by bestselling author Beth Wiseman explores the compromises and sacrifices it takes to truly listen to love.

The third and final novel in the Amish Journeys series by bestselling author Beth Wiseman. Lydia and Samuel Bontrager weren't planning to get married, and they certainly weren't prepared when Lydia became pregnant at only seventeen.

Now, they are raising their six-month-old daughter, Mattie, and living as husband and wife. Resentful at being pushed into marriage, both Lydia and Samuel are unhappy and have fallen into a mundane routine that includes love for their daughter but not for each other. As they watch their young friends date and fall in love, they find themselves wishing they could experience the courtship they've missed out on. Can Lydia and Samuel find romance and love within their marriage of convenience? Or is too much awkwardness and resentment causing them to settle for less than a marriage can and should be?
