Awesome

I loved this book. I love the way Beverly Lewis changes from one story to another just long enough to keep you wanting to know what happens next.

Really Enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed this book the narrator is pleasant to listen to and I love Beverly Lewis.

EXCELLENT

Book 2 is every bit as good as Book 1. I'm anxious to read book 3 and see how everything turns out!

Wonderful story

I love Beverly Lewis' books. so able to enjoy ny downtime on the to and from work. allows me to escape into another world.

Storyline drew out far too long

I felt like the storyline surrounding Hen and Brandon's marriage drew out far too long. I was beginning to lose interest.

Sweet Story about trusting God

I liked how Rosie’s family used scripture to decide how to go forward. Good second book!

An Odd Listen For An Old Man

The Judgment by Beverly Lewis was a very odd listen for me. I bought it as a daily special on Audible. I felt a little embarrassed when I realized that young adult females who are devout Christians were the target audience. As a senior male, I still found the simple story with minimal conflict interesting because decorated the story with peaks into the rich Amish culture of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. The Judgment is the second installment in the Rose trilogy, named for main character and narrator of the story. I may just get the first and third installments to see how much more I can learn about the Amish. Afterwards I can give them to my first granddaughter when I am blessed with one.

Slow storyline

Again, like the first in the series, the second book moves slowly and everything happens at the end. I found myself waiting for the storyline to move forward. If I didn't work while listening, I would have been bored. However, the themes did cause me to contemplate and ask questions. The dominating themes being God's goodness and His sovereignty. I find the lack of any mention of Jesus in these "christian" books to be concerning. Christina Moore's take on Nick sounds like a stoned surfer dude, but he is hardly in this book so it's not too much of a problem. In short, I've invested too much time and thought to not finish the series. Definitely not Beverly Lewis' best series.

Too predictable

Would you try another book from Beverly Lewis and/or Christina Moore?

Yes,I'm listening for the Amish lifestyle.

Would you recommend The Judgment to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes, for a young person...12-15.

Have you listened to any of Christina Moore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no

Could you see The Judgment being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

no

Any additional comments?

I think the book should be featured as a
