Wanda E. Brunstetter states, in the introduction of this book, that she wanted to give readers a glimpse of the Amish culture and allow them a chance to experience the joy and peace that comes from living a simple life. Well, she's certainly succeeded...the sixty devotionals in this book definitely show the benefits of living such a life!

Brunstetter is a favorite author of Amish fiction fans but her non-fiction books are popular also. The Simple Life is a wonderful devotional filled with delicious recipes, Amish sayings, and funny anecdotes that inspire and entertain and it's written so that each of the devotionals follow the same format: a beginning Bible scripture, a short story/essay, Food for Thought, and Food for the Body. My budget doesn't allow me to purchase every book that I want but I did buy this as a digital copy and I recommend it to all who enjoy devotionals and recipe collections! ( )

A Devotional Book Worth Keeping!

Devotional thoughts from Amish Country.

When I received this devotional in the mail I was thrilled. This one I will keep to read over and over.

The photographs in this book are breathtaking. Love them!

The devotions are heartfelt. I love the message in the devotions I have read so far. I have a couple of devotional books that I read each morning, I saved this devotional to read at night. Soul soothing!

Included after each devotional is a meaningful saying called, Food For Thought. I also love this. It definitely causes you to stop and ponder.

After Food For Thought, comes Food For The Body, this includes a special recipe!

I can’t forget to tell you that there is also an inspirational tear-off bookmark!

After four days of nightly reading, I know this is a devotional book that I want to keep.

This devotional would make a great Christmas gift. Don’t forget to get one for yourself too!

My thanks to Barbour Publishing and Author Wanda Brunstetter for allowing me to read and review this devotional. The opinions expressed are mine alone. ( )
