    About this ebook

    In book 3 of the Emma Raber’s Daughter series, Amish fiction author Jerry Eicher brings the faith-filled journey of Katie Raber to its happy conclusion.

    Katie Raber is trying to put her life back together after Ben Stoll's devastating betrayal of her love. When she is baptized into the church, she receives a surprising offer that will keep her close to her Amish community—much to her mother’s delight.

    But soon Ben is back in her life again—and at the same time she finds interest from another young man, though his bumbling efforts at winning her heart show him to be a far less desirable suitor than the more polished Ben Stoll.

    Readers who have followed the saga of Katie and her attempts to escape the stigma of being just “Emma Raber’s daughter” will be charmed by her new look at life as a young woman with important decisions to make.

      In this final book we find Katie with two boys after her. The first is Ben. He is trying to win her back and seeks her forgiveness. The other is a man named Norman. This is a problem since Mabel likes Norman as well. The author showed a side of the Amish that most Amish fiction doesn’t deal with. We see once again that the Amish face a lot of the same temptations and issues the rest of us face. We who are not Amish have built this façade for the Amish. I think we have built it based on the fact that they set themselves apart from the rest of the world, so that must mean they don’t have the same problems. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I felt sorry for Ben. It didn’t matter that he had changed. There were so many in the community that refused to forgive him or believe he had changed. This irritated me. When I was a child some of my relatives had an issue with something my dad had done. It didn’t involve any of them yet they chose to judge him. Since I was living with my relatives at the time and my parents and sisters were coming for a visit, I was told they didn’t know if they could forgive him for what he had done. My response to them was, since they weren’t involved in the situation it wasn’t their place to forgive him, that was God’s job. I wanted to shout this to Ben’s community. We often forget that God is the one who is in control of ultimate forgiveness. I liked the way he relied on God to get him through his situation. Will Katie and Ben get together? What about Mabel and Norman? You didn’t really think I was going to tell you everything did you? You really must read this entire series.I received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my own.

      Is Forgiveness Possible?I am a huge fan of Author Jerry Eicher and I have read nearly all of his Amish fiction books. Katie’s Forever Promise is a book that you just can’t wait to get back to if you have to put it down.I love that this story is filled with real life obstacles and trials. My goodness, I have lived some of them myself. I think this is why this story hit so close to home for me. Katie and Ben have their share of problems throughout this book. The author shows the reader that with God all things are possible if it is God’s will. That being said, will the community forgive Ben of his past sins? Has Ben really turned his life around? Will Katie forgive Ben after the shame he has put her through or perhaps she has moved on and is interested in another young man in her community.Then there is Mable. This is a character that I had a love/hate relationship with. Pick up a copy of this book and you will see why I made this statement!The author gives us an insight into the Amish community that usually doesn’t come out in other Amish fiction books. I think we have a tendency to think that Amish are very different from us. That’s not true. They have issues just like we do. When you read this book you will see what I mean especially when it comes to Norman Kuntz.I was silly to think that I could get through one of Jerry Eicher’s books without crying. Well...that didn’t happen. What can I say, I am a cryer. I was really sobbing at the end of this story.I am looking forward to reading this author’s new series that will be coming out in January of 2014. The Beiler Sisters, Book 1: Holding a Tender Heart.I wish to thank Harvest House Publishers and author, Jerry Eicher, for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review. The opinions expressed in this review are mine alone.
