When the summer heat forces you inside, take the time to enjoy a little Christmas in July with The Amish Christmas Gift Worth Waiting For.

It will take an Amish Christmas miracle to mend the hearts of two lost and lonely souls this holiday season.

When tragedy strikes the young Amish woman Amanda Beiler, not once but twice, she is left to raise her seven sisters by herself. As her faith is tested, her Amish community surrounds her with love and compassion, but will it be enough to see her through? Or will Bishop Weaver take things into his own hands and use his widowed nephew to help heal her wounded spirit.

Christmas should be a time for joy and renewal, but for Adam Weaver, it only reminds him of all he’s lost. Can he put his anguish aside to comfort the young woman, or will he ignore the prompting of his uncle to help a neighbor in need? When Adam’s pain is still too raw to speak of, he pens a series of messages to Amanda that turns into an unexpected friendship.

Christmas should be a time for joy and renewal, but for Amanda Beiler and Adam Weaver, it only reminds them of all they have lost. Can their shared grief help them realize sometimes the best gifts in life are those worth waiting for?

PLUS: Enjoy an excerpt from An Amish Christmas at the Apple Blossom Inn that releases in November 2022.

Now, it’s time for my Christmas song title: It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Download The Amish Women of Lawrence County and take a trip to Amish Country today!

Tucked away in Northwestern Pennsylvania, resides a small group of Amish that calls Lawrence County their home. Along the winding country roads, etched with well-worn buggy tracks, are families that hold the values of God, Family, and Community deep in tradition. Among them, are ten women whose lives intertwine in this quiet Pennsylvania town. I invite you to come with me as I take you for a walk in a “day in the life” of these Amish women.
