Product Description
Although she still prays for Caleb, Nellie Mae Fisher has broken up with her beau. Now, her heart's greatest longing is for more knowledge of the Lord. Caleb yearns for freedom, as his plans to leave Honeybrook have been thwarted. He must stay on as caretaker for his father, who was crippled in a wintertime accident. He also longs for Nellie Mae, still hoping that she will return to the Old Order...and to him. Christian Yoder, a young Mennonite man, longs to get to know Nellie Mae better...and to share with her the secrets of her sister Suzy's final days. Rhoda, Nellie's older sister, longs for more of what the world has to offer--from fancy clothes, to her own car, to a new English boyfriend. Meanwhile, father Rueben Fisher longs for unity--among his family and all the brethren. Whose longing will be satisfied, and whose will not?

A Great Book! November 8, 2008
I enjoyed this book so much, moreso than the first two in the series, although they also were good. I felt as though I really got to know the characters. I really enjoyed the descriptions of nature and the seasons. In some books it can actually interfere with the story line. The ending was excellent and the gospel was very clearly presented which sometimes is missing in Christian novels. I highly recommend it!
The Longing November 8, 2008
This item was received in a timely fashion. Would do business again with this seller.
AMISH LOVE STORY November 5, 2008
I picked up a book from a Der Dutchmann restaurant in Plain City, Ohio and it got me started on these Amish love stories. This book The Longing is one of a series of 3 and is just wonderful! I really never read much until I started reading these books and Beverly Lewis is my favorite author! This book The Longing is sweet, has drama, you learn about the Amish way of life and in these books there is no bad language or anything that would turn you off. I loved this series The Courtship of Nellie Fisher and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes love stories and to read for both enjoyment and to learn about another way of living. Almost makes me wish I could be Amish at times!
The Longing (The Courtship of Nellie Fisher, Book 3) October 25, 2008
Beverly Lewis continues to produce wonderful stories. The Courtship of Nellie Fisher series was excellent as always.
 Very good, but nees to be read in sequence October 25, 2008
The book was very good if you like inspirational books but needs to be read in sequence......there are two books before this one in the series.
