Unbreakable by Nancy Mehl Book Review

 Gentle and unassuming, Hope Kauffman has never been one to question the traditions of her Mennonite upbringing. She quietly helps her father run Kingdom Quilts and has agreed to the betrothal he arranged for her with the devout but shy Ebbie Miller.

Despite the attempts of Hope and other Kingdom residents to maintain the status quo, changes have already begun to stir in the small Mennonite town. The handsome and charismatic Jonathon Wiese is the leader of the move to reform, while Ebbie insists Kingdom must remain true to its foundation. When Hope’s safety is threatened by a mysterious outsider, she can’t help but question what she’s always been taught about the Mennonite tradition of nonviolence.

As it swiftly becomes apparent the threat Hope faced is only the beginning, the town that’s always stood so strong finds itself divided. With tensions high and their lives endangered by an unknown enemy, will Hope and the people of Kingdom allow fear and division to break them or will they draw on the strength of the God they serve?

 Nancy Mehl lives in Wichita, Kansas, with her husband Norman and her very active puggle, Watson. She’s authored fourteen books and is currently at work on a new series for Bethany House Publishing. All of Nancy’s novels have an added touch – something for your spirit as well as your soul. “I welcome the opportunity to share my faith through my writing,” Nancy says. “God is number one in my life. I wouldn’t be writing at all if I didn’t believe that this is what He’s called me to do. I hope everyone who reads my books will walk away with the most important message I can give them: God is good, and He loves you more than you can imagine. He has a good plan for your life, and there is nothing you can’t overcome with His help.” Readers can learn more about Nancy through her Web site: www.nancymehl.com or her blog.

My Thoughts:

Unbreakable is the second book in the Road to Kingdom series for Nancy Mehl.  If you haven’t’ yet read the first book, “Inescapable” I would high recommend it. Unbreakable does stand-alone without having read the first book. It will make you want to read the first one in you haven’t already.

This is another wonderful novel! A fast paced story that is filled with lots of suspense, danger, and a thought provoking issues. I love the faith and commitment of the characters. They are enduring and so human. I love stories when you can revisit the lives of characters you have read about in other novels.

The author makes a great dilemma that makes you examine a heartfelt issue that makes you see both sided of the issue. It was interesting seeing what they would do and would they compromise their beliefs. Well done Nancy with handling both sides of the issue.

I had a hard time putting this book down.  I'm looking forward to the book in the series.  

Litfuse Publicity Group has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book. In no way was I asked to give a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
