Publisher's summary

The Narrow Path is a story about a couple who must face their differences and learn to work together as they look toward a lifetime of love. Miranda Klassen's Mennonite church is big and modern and she loves the mixture of faith, action, and activity. But in order to follow her dream she moves across the country to a small town to organize the 75th anniversary celebration of an Old Order Mennonite church. Ted Wiebe has been assigned to assist and guide Miranda, feeling good that his church has chosen another Mennonite. But except for sharing the same basic faith and denomination, their churches have nothing else in common.

His church embraces old-style roots, so Ted expects to find someone similar at the airport: a woman who never wears pants, no body piercing (including pierced ears), no makeup, and wearing a head covering as a sign of modesty, someone else who lives in accordance with old-fashioned values. But the woman who acknowledges him is wearing unreasonably high and outlandishly expensive shoes, denim jeans, and makeup, including bright red lipstick. As she gets off the plane she's fiddling with an iPod and yapping on the cell phone. When Miranda enters Ted's church and community she feels like she's been transported back into Little House on the Prairie. Ted is supposed to help Miranda fit in, and Miranda is supposed to help his church reach out into the community. When it's time to start planning and organizing for the celebration, then the fun really begins.

Such a delight!

I wasn’t sure what to expect but was really pleased with this wonderful romantic story. The two very different personalities learning how to compromise and come together.
I did think the end was a little rushed, but I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a clean romantic love story.

Great book!!

I loved this book. It was so well thought of. Loved how they explained the Mennonite more clearly and you were able to follow along better. Loved where Miranda loved red and was all about it!! Things worked out great in the end and you really didn’t see that one coming. Great ending!! Woohoo!!
