Looking For A Miracle (2007) - Plot & Excerpts

Can you imagine suffering an accident that would forever change your life. Well Rebekah Stolitzfus was injured in the storm when a huge branch fell on top of her buggy when she was just little. Rebekah was paralyzed. She feels as if she's failing her family and the rest of her Amish community. In this book it tells you about how Rebekah struggles when she can't get up and run like every other normal person age, and how she gets in the pain of losing her dear grandmother. Also she's having since feelings about Daniel Beachy but she would never want to be a burden on his life. As the story goes along she learns about her biggest and strengths and her weaknesses. This is and truly amazing books that help me change my view on challenges and see how good I have it. Wanda E. Brunstetter has done an outstanding job on the whole series and especially on this book!

Rebekah already feels as if she cant do anything and is helpless, but the feeling only intensifies when she goes to check on her grandmother and she finds her dead in her room holding the bible against her chest. After a freak accident Rebekah is paralyzed and feels as if she will never be the same. That is until she meets Daniel, Daniel makes her feel like she always wanted to feel like nothing was wrong with her and she could be a wife and a mother. Rebekah still isn't sure if Daniel really wants to marry her or just feels sorry for her but as her feelings grow stronger for him she realizes God may have put him in her path after all. I liked the book but I felt that the author focused to much on Rebekah's disability. The story line was good and the characters were strong but some of it fell a little flat.

What do You think about Looking For A Miracle (2007)?

I didn't think I would read this book but when I couldn't find anything that was "IN" at the library, I decided to pick it up. It was ok. I mean, it had a pretty good story and I LOVE the fact that it is clean. BUT the conversations were almost painful to read. WAY too formal for me. I've met Amish people before and none of them were *that* formal in their conversations with each other OR with me. I couldn't stand being in a relationship with someone and talking that way. ANYWAY, I won't be reading the 3rd book in this series. My "to-read" list is already long enough!

Looking For A Miracle by Wanda E. Brunstetter is about Rebekah, an Amish young woman who had an accident as a girl and was confined to a wheelchair.  It is a slow moving story about how Rebekah struggles with trusting God for her future and is somewhat bitter because of her handicap.  I liked how she found a way to become more self-supporting and finally found romance and love.  It gives some insight into the Amish community which I found to be interesting and includes a recipe for home-made root beer in the back.  I recommend this for anyone who likes to read about the Amish and enjoys a light, predictable read. This is the 2nd book in the "Brides of Lancaster" series.

I enjoyed this book. I appreciated the reminder that we need to be in constant contact with God . . . always seeking His will for our lives . . . and we need to have His help so we do not miss His miracles for us.That said, there were times in the book I just wanted to shake Rebekah and call her “dummkoppe” (loosely translated as a dunce, but used in a teasing reference). Daniel was no better at points. I guess having characters that make you want to shake some sense into them, yet while still wanting the best for them makes it a good novel! :lol:
