The Judgment is the second book in The Rose Trilogy by Beverly Lewis, who continues to captivate us with the gentle Amish life and her endearing characters. Rose Kauffman loves her Plain life and will soon have a brand new year to plan. To her, it’s a fresh start and clean slate. But will she fill that year with the love she feels for Nick Franco, who has left the Amish world under suspicious circumstances? Or will she begin a new chapter with her fiancé, Silas Good? Along with her sister, Hen, who has much more outside experience, both women must make difficult decisions that will change not only their lives, but also everyone they love.

Another Beverly Lewis treasure is Amish Prayers, and what better timing? Easter invites us to spend time celebrating new life and our many blessings. This beautifully illustrated collection of prayers dates back centuries (and is still used today by Amish and Mennonites). Each prayer is as relevant to our modern lives as they were to believers 300 years ago. Complete with related scripture, this is a gift of comfort and grace for a friend, or a forever keepsake for you and your loved ones.
