5.0 out of 5 stars Like A Cool Drink Of Water On A Hot Day, September 30, 2006
Wanda E. Brunstetter has done it again! This lovely little devotional book on thoughts from Amish County is such a refreshing and spirit building read. It calms my soul on a hectic day. It helps to bring me back down to earth when I let the little things in life bother me. This is such an uplifting book! This treasure will make your heart sing! I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars! As I do...so to will you...treasure it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Life By Wanda Brunstetter; Devotional book /recipes, May 17, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is very nice. I like the stories in it as they are about 2-3 pages long for each devotional At the end of each story there is a nice Amish recipe included. Very much worth the $4.97 I paid and it shipped FREE because I am a Amazon Prime member.
