An Amish man running for President of the United States?

I know...I raised an eyebrow too. 😄

But somehow Martha Bolton made it work...and not just work, but she created one of the most delightfully unique Amish novels I've ever read.

I appreciated that the story never became about political parties. Instead, it focused on integrity, humility, servant leadership, and faith. Honestly, today's leaders could learn a thing or two from Josiah.

One line from Josiah's wife, Elizabeth, stayed with me. She encouraged living within your limits instead of taking on more than you can handle - a reminder that I seem to need more often than I'd like to admit.

If you enjoy Amish fiction but are looking for something completely different from the typical Amish romance, this one is worth adding to your list.

QOTD: What's the most unusual Christian fiction premise you've ever read that actually worked?

Walking through the Christian Fiction section at is a little dangerous for my wallet...but wonderful for my TBR. 😁

I always love spotting books on the shelves that brought great enjoyment to me and that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to another reader. If you're looking for your next great read, you really can't go wrong with any of these.

(And yes...one of them came home with me. 😍)

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!

Who, me? 😅

Yeah...I've been missing from Bookstagram for WAY longer than I'd ever planned. LIFE demanded more of my attention, and everything else fell by the wayside.

What didn't change? My love of reading. 💖

Now...where have YOU been?

Hopefully, somewhere between the pages of OF GOLD AND SHADOWS by Michelle Griep which has been my favorite read so far this year and instantly earned its place on my keeper shelf.

If you're looking for a Christian historical mystery that completely pulls you in, this is it. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, and I NEVER expected to become so invested in a story about Egyptian artifacts...but here we are. 😆

And that amazing slow-burn romance? SWOON. ❤️‍🔥

(Oh, and the sequel is pretty great, too. 😉)

I've missed chatting with all my reader friends so if this post found its way into your feed today, leave me a quick "hey!" and tell me...

What's been one (or two) of your favorite Christian fiction reads this year?
