Beverly Lewis has been one of my favorite authors since middle school. She weaves intricate stories of God's pursuance of human hearts with the simplicity of Amish lifestyles, and the complications that come from living in a community that is so different from the world around it. The Fiddler is Beverly's newest novel, and it did not disappoint. I read through it quickly this weekend, enjoying the variations on modern life and the characters' torn desires between the world and God's calling. I love her honesty in showing that not all Amish stay Amish, and that no matter what, God pursues us until we relent.
