The Coffee Corner by Amy Clipston

 




Bethany Gingerich is an Amish young adult who runs a Coffee Shop in the Amish Marketplace.  Her cousins also have various types of stands in the Marketplace.  Bethany has appeared in their stories in this series but now this is her story.  Amy Clipston has made all these characters good friends to her readers and I have enjoyed every book in the series.  In this one, Micah Zook, who runs a business with his grandfather, makes Bethany’s acquaintance and they being to explore their pasts and their current relationship.

To Dwell Among Cedars by Connilyn Cossette

 



This is one of Connilyn Cossette's beautiful historical novels dealing with the Old Testament.  In this one we have Eliora and Ronen. Eliora was a Philistine but had been adopted by a Jewish elder.  This elder was the guardian of the Ark of the Covenant.  It had been stolen by the Philistines and then returned and he was hiding it.  Ronen is a Levite that is trying to find the Ark of the Covenant and get it back into Levite hands.  What ensues is a rich and colorful tale that brings us much information that enriches our study of the Bible. 

 

I highly recommend this to anyone who like good OT historical fiction.  This author is one of the best.
