Brush of Angel's Wings

Brush of Angel's Wings by Ruth Reid, is about an Amish girl and a Englisher man whom God brought together through extraordinary circumstances. Rachel has waited years for a man to pick her. For someone to ask to escort her home from a singing or to show any interested in her at all. At twenty, she is no longer considered the prime age for courting. She decided that she was probably more suited to be a teacher than a wife.
Jordan just returned to the Amish community that his mother left when she chose to marry his father. He wanted to fulfill his promise to his mother while she was dying that he would go back to the Amish community and try it out for a little while. All he wanted to do was to do his duty and then leave and become a truck driver. He had absolutely no intention to remain in the Amish community and had no intention to fall in love. With the help of the angel Nathaniel, both Rachel and Jordan learn God's true plan for their lives.

I really enjoyed this book. This was my second delve into Amish fiction and I was very pleased with the book. It was different from the other Amish book I read and from other books that I have read about. I really enjoyed how the book added aspects of spiritual warfare by telling the angel's and the demon's side of the story. It had a Frank Peretti kind of  feel to it. It was not a thriller, it was definitely a romance, but it had another aspect to it that other romance novels do not have. It seemed to have more depth to it. It wasn't just a romantic story with God working out the details from afar, it made it so that God was a direct part of the story. It was showing how if we trust God to write our love story, He actually takes an interest and will guide us in His path. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wanted more than just the traditional love story.
