Softly Blows the Bugle by Jan Drexler

-

 #Softly blows the Bugle #  by  Jan Drexler is an Amish  Fiction book.  This book is  the third in the the Amish of Weaver's Creek series. Jan  brings a wonderful perspective  to her writings with her Amish and Mennonite back round.   The  book is  beautifully written.   It  has  romance , suspense, and action.   The  Amish  values  are  woven in a beautiful way into this book.  The book takes  place in 1863.   The book is written  from   Elizabeth Kauffman's  perspective.  She  strives to be kind, loving, honest in her  dealings with others.  The themes are : forgiveness,  steadfast love, faithfulness, loss. , resilience .  I  like Aaron as a character in the book. He  was in the Battle  of  Vicksburg.  . He  lost his  leg.  There is a scene in the book when  one of the young  children are  at risk from a bull hurting  him.  Aaron  puts  his body over the child to  protect him and  prevent  him from getting hurt.  Aaron already has his own challenges  getting around  one one leg.  How many people  would  be so  caring and self  sacrificing  for others.   Thank you     to the author,  the publisher, netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book.  I  really enjoyed the book. I hope it is very successful.   the opinions are my own.

 Tell Me the Stories of Jesus  is  by Albert Mohler. Al Mohler  is the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He  hosts   The Briefing and "Thinking in Public".  This  book is a Christian living book.  The parables  were written  with an illustration. Jesus wanted  the audience  to think about what  He  was   saying  and then  move  to  recollect   on the deeper meaning  within the parables.  He  wanted the audience   to think  about where their heart is and to apply  the parables  to their life.  If the meaning is given in a straight forward way  it can be easy  to not think about your life because  the meaning  is given  to the audience and they do not have to pause and think  where Jesus is coming from.  The parables are creative. . This book gives great background  for each of the parables. It is very personable.  This book is well written.  It  is a great book for any Christian and for  any pastor. Thank you for netgalley , the publisher and the author f
