Motherhood is a 24/7 job. Join young Amish homemaker Marianne Jantzi in her family’s life on the snowy plains of Ontario in Marianne’s new book, Simple Pleasures. Never sugarcoating the frustrations of motherhood, Jantzi tells it like it is, broken washing machine and bickering children and all. But through her busy days, Jantzi finds strength in simple pleasures of family, fellowship with her Amish community, and quiet time with God.
Do you enjoy reading about the Amish . . . about their simple lifestyle, about their relationship with God, about their wonderful community?
This is NOT a book to be missed!
No, it’s not all happy, skipping children and beautiful, sunshiny days full of bliss.
It’s REAL!
I enjoy reading Amish fiction, but this is real life! And that, simply cannot be put into the same category.
Somehow these stories of a real life among the plain folk goes so far above and beyond what we see in Amish fiction.
Why? – because it’s different on so many levels . . . because it’s REAL!
Read it. You’ll see exactly what I mean!
