Title: Not an accurate portrayal of the Christian Faith
Review: I was very disappointed with this book. It is not genuine Christian fiction. I read the Preacher's Daughter and The Englisher and I found them to not be an accurate view of the Christian faith. The books (and the Amish faith) portray a legalistic religion, put their authority as supreme rather than a direct relationship with God, and don't allow people to say they have been saved through a personal relationship with God. This thinking is contrary to what the Bible teaches. The Preacher's Daughter also leaves you hanging. There is no good closure to the book and it does not stand alone as a book. You have to read the next book to continue the story and it doesn't conclude well either. I would not want people to buy these books thinking this is what it is to be a Christian. A relationship with God is personal and brings freedom not legalism.
