His Love Endures Forever

Danielle Kent grew up in an abusive situation and knew little of God and the security of a stable home until she moved in with Martha and Arnold.  Living close to the Amish, Danielle was probably the least likely person to fit in with their lifestyle but she fell in love with an Amish boy who wants nothing more than to leave the Amish faith and Canaan. Thinking he loves her, she is frightened but knows Matthew will stand beside her when she finds herself pregnant with his child. However, that isn't the case. Matthew tells her he never loved her and leaves his family to move to Indiana to live with his uncle.  Danielle is 18, pregnant, and alone except for her best friend, Levi, also an Amish boy.

Levi is convinced God is telling him to marry Danielle but she has no desire to become Amish nor does she want to ruin Levi's life.  Nor does Danielle have a clear picture of the God Levi loves and worships.  After all, very little has ever gone well in her life. Where was God in all those times?  Can God use their unlikely friendship to help Danielle through the circumstances she finds herself in?

Although His Love Endures Forever is the third book in the Land of Canaan series by Beth Wiseman, you will have no difficulty picking this book up even if you haven't read any of the others.  While some of the characters in this book have been introduced in the previous books, the story you find here is complete and Ms. Wiseman does an excellent job of filling in all the holes you might typically find if you begin in the middle of a series. His Love Endures Forever is a beautiful story of friendship, love, and sacrifice.  While I expected a typical Amish story, I got much more than that.  Rarely does an author mix the worlds of the Englischer and the Amish so skillfully.

I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  I was in no way obligated to leave a positive review.
