Amethyst

I couldn’t wait to open the book each time I could sit down and follow the story. Hearing how it was to live in those times in the past was amazing. Ms Snelling is a wonderful Christian author.

Amethyst

The story is great. I love this authors clean writing style. I just have difficulty with the narration.
The breathing, swallowing and lip smacking could be edited.

since they both are tyed to Joel.What happens ,God
has a plan .What will .Is Opal included in this plan?
Opal who has , seen so much death ,and abandonment
Can she accept God's plan ,not to mention , can she
acceept. bbrlieving. in God anymore ?
One thing. I wished was belle had a conversion experience That was not. the case
Can Jacob (a preacher ,which a past )Can her
acceot God's plan and will thay include a wife .
Is Opal ,going accept live out Ggods plan .
Or is she going live with hard. heart .not asking
for God's forgiveness and knowing she needs it.
Can she soften a heart a s accept God's mercy
and God a. Love And shate with so none else .
who needs it.
Amatthustd love for a retired soldierc,wi l,he
find a wide ,nowc he realizes i.If so will she accept
him .
Laura. Scnelling, in this book, mentioned a Catholic
Church, not in a derogatory way
She's sleaydc reminds the temerity faith and fortiti Dr love mercy they showed in that my time..It is still
