Healing Hearts
Summary
Three hope-filled stories about second chances, trusting your heart, and the power of forgiveness. Healing Hearts—Empty-nesters Levina Lapp and her husband Naaman have no children under their roof for the first time in 30 years. When Naaman leaves to visit cousins in Ohio, Levina never expected him to be gone a year. Now that he’s back, will they be able to move beyond this estrangement and rekindle the fire of the love they once shared? A Change of Heart—Leah is a writer in a community that does not encourage such fruitless endeavors. She lacks the skills necessary to be a good Amish fraa—cooking, cleaning, quilting, and gardening. Aaron is aware of Leah’s short-comings, but his heart is captured by this spirited young woman. Will Leah’s role as an Amish wife and mother force her to set aside her creative life—or will Aaron make an offer she never dreamed was possible? A Choice to Forgive—Lydia has loved two men in her life. Daniel, who disappeared one Christmas Eve long ago, leaving only a note saying he wanted to live in the English world. And Elam, Daniel’s brother, to whom she had been happily married for 15 years. When Elam dies, Lydia gives up on ever loving again. But she is shocked when Daniel wants to return to the Order and her life. Is there enough forgiveness in her heart to overlook the past and move into a future that could fulfill her dreams?

Amish Peace
Summary
Of all the gifts that Jesus left us, his peace is most elusive. We long for it in our homes, in our relationships, in our life situations. One place we can look and see "living peace" is in the lives of the Amish. But you don't have to become Amish to bring these simple, practical ways of living into your own life--and make personal peace a reality. Organized around five central themes in Amish life, each section will include real-life stories, callouts of Amish proverbs, and interesting facts about Amish communities. Each section will also contain questions for reflection and action--things you can do in your own life that "make for peace."

Choosing Gratitude
Summary
Gratitude is a choice. If we fail to chose it, by default we choose ingratitude. And once allowed into the heart, ingratitude does not come by itself but with a lot of other seedy companions that only succeed in stealing joy. To not choose gratitude - daily and deliberately - is more costly than we usually realize. And when we do choose a lifestyle of heartfelt, humble gratitude, we are mindful of the benefits received from our gracious Savior and those He has placed around us. By intentionally thanking God and others, bitterness and entitlement are replaced with joy and the humble realization of just how undeserving we really are. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

What the Heart Sees
Summary
Some believe in love at first sight. But lasting love is most clearly seen with the heart. A Miracle for Miriam: Miriam forgave Seth for humiliating her when they were children on the schoolyard, but since then, she’s guarded her heart. Years later, Miriam sees him at a Christmas party and notices something has changed - not just how he acts, but how he looks. When Seth pursues her, she rebuffs him. She’s not that foolish love-struck girl anymore. But Seth is intent on convincing her that he’s worth a second chance. A Place of His Own: When Josiah left Paradise the first time, he didn’t even say good-bye. Now he’s back, ten years later, and he’s changed. Why is Josiah so distant and bitter? Where is the boy who used to be her best friend? Amanda is learning that there are things even a capable Amish girl can’t fix. But can she just stand there and let him disappear again? What the Heart Sees: Ellie Chupp is resigned to never love again after she loses her sight in an accident. Christopher Miller has returned home, five years after a tragedy took the life of his fiancée. When Ellie and Chris meet again, their attraction is undeniable. But the possibility of loving another person again is terrifying.
