I've found myself wanting to read Amish fiction more and more during the crazy times we're currently living in, as there's just something so calming and peaceful about reading books set in the Amish culture. I knew when I saw the description of this one that it was probably going to be something I was going to end up enjoying, and I was definitely proven right.

I appreciated how each of the novellas were about Christmas, finding love and the importance of faith no matter what, but that each is written completely different from the others, and it was honestly hard to pick a favorite. This collection includes first love, second chance love, a child who has lost his parents needing to find love and security, and a beautiful showcase of how friendship can often turn into something more. Each story had me honestly tearing up and I think any of these four could have been full length novels and still have kept the reader engaged from start to finish.

I was also excited to get to read another story by Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller and Kelly Irvin, and I loved my first experience with a story by Vannetta Chapman. If you're looking for a heartwarming Christmas collection to enjoy this holiday season then look no further than this beautiful collection by a group of extremely talented ladies. This is exactly what I was hoping for when I first picked it up to read it, and I can't wait to read more stories from this group of authors in the future.

Final Rating: 4/5.

Thanks so much to Zondervan for allowing me to advance read this!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the publisher (Zondervan) via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

An Amish Christmas Wedding is a collection of four easy-to-read, heartwarming, inspiring stories written by four talented authors. These stories showcase four Amish couples—Lorene and Ryan, Leesa and Henry, Mary and Jakob, Rachel and Micah—who find or rekindle love at Christmas time. The well-crafted, relatable (even if you’re not Amish) characters face struggles including broken hearts, secrets, grief, doubts, age, and loneliness on their way to finding second chances and sweet romance. As you would expect, the faith element is strong in each story with emphasis on finding and accepting God’s purpose and plan.
I enjoyed all the stories, but my favorite is Kelly Irvin’s A Holiday of Hope. It is “the story of a widower, an orphan, and a reluctant teacher” who must each come to grips with issues in their own lives which compromise their relationship.
I highly recommend this book especially for lovers of Amish fiction and anthologies.

A fantastic collection of Amish romance novellas. Each written by different authors but are definitely well written. Fans of Amish fiction will not be disappointed. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.

Thoroughly engaging, this quartet of stories is truly inspirational. Each story stands alone, yet they all fit together so well. Each tale has a difficult situation to overcome, second chances and a healthy dose of romance.

This was such a lovely collection of 4 stories. I had already read a book by Amy Clipston, so I had high expectations going into reading the story she wrote. And I was not disappointed. I was unfamiliar with the other three authors, but I was happily surprised to find some new favorite authors to read. I enjoyed all four of the stories!

Four sweet stories of love and all things Amish - what more can you ask for!? I love each of these authors and it was a special treat being able to read them all in one book. Definitely a good-hearted book that you will love and enjoy - each different in their own way but so good!

This is a set of four short stories about Amish love and romance set around the Christmas season. I have read numerous books by all of these authors and they are all some of my favorites. Even though all of the stories were great and the characters well developed, the first story, Evergreen Love, was probably my favorite of the four. Amy Clipston is one of my favorite authors who always creates characters who the reader can honestly relate to.

Thank you to the publisher, Zondervan and Net Galley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.

Thank you Net Galley for allowing me to read and review this book.

This is a collection of 4 short stories about Amish couples around Christmas time. One is about a Ryan and Lorene that had planned to get married but never did. Now her younger sister is marrying his brother and they are attending all sorts of family get-togethers prior to the wedding. Both are still attracted to each other but wonder if they can forget the past and go forward. The next is about Henry who ends up being the guardian of a young boy whose father was a good friend of Henry’s. The little boy is having a hard time adjusting and Henry is relying on the boy’s teacher Leesa to help him figure it all out. The next story is about Mary and Jakob who have been best friends since childhood but when family and friends pushed them into courting they both felt awkward about the relationship and broke it off. Now they are both attracted to each other but wonder if there is anyway to renew their relationship. And the last story is about two older folks, Micah who was a widower living with his children and grandchildren runs the Amish Tour Company just to get himself out of the house. He partners with Rachel King, an old maid whose parents have died and left her alone. She offers tea to his tour clients in her home.

I enjoyed all these stories and it was great having a short story I could read in one evening and then another the next evening until I had read them all.

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

This is a delightful grouping of Christmas novellas by famous Amish writers, Amy Clipston, Kelly Irvin, Kathleen Fuller and Vannetta Chapman.

Each story shows the magical feeling that the Christmas season brings. Former loves reunited, a child needing a parent and those who try to help him overcoming their own loss and grief, senior adults facing the loneliness of being without a partner, and best friends who have parted ways all lend to gripping stories of find loves lost and new love.
I enjoyed reading each of these stories and highly recommend this book.

I am growing fond of the compilation books especially Christian Fiction about love at Christmas. Out of all of the stories featured in an Amish Christmas Wedding, my favorite had to be Evergreen Love by Amy Clipston. Reading this story and the forgotten love between Ryan and Lorene reminded me a lot of Jane Austen's Persuasion with the stories being very similar. When Lorene's younger sister is engaged to Ryan's brother, Lorene spends so much time with the family that she forgets why she and Ryan were together in the first place especially unexpectedly when Ryan returns home for the wedding and finds Lorene. If this story tells you anything, its that re-connection is so powerful that it makes you realize what you missed about each other and that time a part might be just what you need to build a strong founding relationship.

We will consider adding this book to our Christian Fiction collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

This is a collection of four Amish novellas, each centered around the Christmas season. The stories are all very different, ensuring that you'll connect well with at least one, if not more, of the sets of protagonists. My two favorite stories were Holiday of Hope and Wreathed in Joy. Holiday of Hope is a historic novella set in Montana. It focuses on a young boy who has been the victim of much tragedy and the two people who come out of their own grief to help him pull through. Wreathed in Joy is a beautiful story of second chances and God's timing...rather than everyone else's. These stories could probably be set any time of year, but the holiday season makes them just a little bit more magical!
