Featured Fiction Giveaway: A Plain Man
A Plain Man by Mary Ellis (April 2014)
About the Book:
Bestselling author Mary Ellis offers an engaging new standalone Amish romance about a prodigal seeking to find his way home.
Though Caleb Beachy lived in the Englisch world for some years, he is a Plain man at heart. When he decides to return to the Amish lifestyle, he moves back home and goes to work for his father. Soon these two strong-willed men find themselves at odds. Caleb discovers there’s more to embracing his faith and reconnecting with the community than merely driving a horse and buggy and giving up Levis.
Josie Yoder was just a girl when he left. All grown up now, she gives Caleb hope for the future. She soothes his frayed temper and is determined to remind him that while his faith may have wavered, God never left his side. Caleb is tempted to return Josie’s feelings, but the choices he made while away are a heavy burden on his conscience. Will past mistakes end up destroying their fledgling romance? Or will she be able to break through the wall around his heart?
A Plain Man is more than just a sweet romance centered in Amish beliefs. It’s the ever-fresh story of a wounded heart finding joy, health, and healing in God’s infinite grace.
Question for You: What does home mean to you?

Home , to me means warmth , shelter , comfort and so much more. My home is my own castle. Privacy from the outside world. My own space. A roof over my head . Shelter from the storms of life. A welcome place to come home to.
I always say that it is nice to go away on vacation for a week or two, but it’s oh so nice to get back home again.
I’m thankful for my home. We raised our daughter here and now that we are retired . It’s nice not having to go out every day to work. We just veg out at home a lot. Our house is big for 2 senior citizens living alone with 2 cats , we should down size but we’ve been here for 31 years and leaving here would be very hard to do. We are rooted here I guess.
Blessings

Home to me is a place to totally relax and be myself. It’s about comfort, security, and family. My family loves me exactly as I am, mistakes and all, and I love them. There is no better feeling in the world to know you are accepted and loved, just as you are… just like God loves us!

Home to me is Sullivan, Ohio. I just moved here a few weeks ago with my husband Jim, and we have never been happier. Our Amish neighbors have made us feel “right at home” ever since we moved in. Actually, even before we moved in. We like our new house, but we LOVE our new “home” in an amazing place that feels exactly like what we were looking for.

Home is many things, for me it is where my soul is centered. It is where I feel safety and security surrounded by loved ones. It is not always a physical building but a spiritual warmth where I feel complete. We have moved several times in my adult life and home is what I make of it at the time I am there. For me it is love, trust, security, and spiritual comfort.

Home is my “Haven” it gives me warmth, security, time with my pets, quietness after a long day, time with God, and a sense of having somewhere to belong. No matter where I go or what I do, I always look forward to going home.

Jessie ratliff, home is family, and friends, where we gather together and share food, good conversations, and games and lots of love for one another.
I love Amish novels, they are about faith, and redemption. I’ve been reading them for 2 years and I enjoy them very much. When I finish with them I take them to the church library for someone else to enjoy. I would love to win a free book.

Home to me is having my children and grandchildren together and making their favorite meal, my Momma’s family’s meatballs and spaghetti. It is having my siblings, nieces and nephews all together for special occasions. Having an immediate family that consists of more than 60 people, getting together is not easy.

Home to me is faith, family, and friends. Home is not necessarily a concrete building. But, those people around you that share faith and love you for the person you are.
Thank you for the chance to enter this book giveaway. This title just grabs my attention. So many books are centered around women. Seeing a man on the cover, peaks my interest.
Thank you for your wonderful stories. I have enjoyed several of your books!!

Home to me is a place where your family and loved ones are. A place where you are comfortable, safe, where you can be yourself.

Home is a place for love, joy, peace, worship, hardships, security and comfort. Home is not a structure which can be torn down but a place that holds your heart.
I have read hundreds of Amish books over the past few years and it was not until then that I truly appreciated “home”.
In today’s society, there is so much strife and things that pull us apart from the true family, your true home. So much technology, crime, doing your own thing so often. By reading so many of the Amish novels, I have learned what the true family, true home is like and things to let go of that is not as important as one’s family, a place where home should be. If more people would follow the Amish lead as to family and home life the world would be a much better place.
[Reply]
Love all your books, learning about the Amish, but the honor and trust of
A family. Looking forward to reading this

Home means love to me.

Family is the main thing in my life. I know we all have problems with certain family members but in the long run family is what holds us together. I am so blessed to still have both my parent, both of my sister’s and my brother. My husband’s family has become mine and I cherish all of them. But I am also the child of a king……Jesus and that is the biggest family that I belong to, what a huge blessing!

[Reply]
Home to me is where my life is centered emotionally as well as physically. When I’ve moved to a new house, I know it’s become home when after a trip away, I long to return to it.
Since I just returned from a Road Scholar program studying the shared heritage of Amish and Mennonites, I’m even more interested in books about Amish and Mennonite communities.
Reading about God’s grace in embracing a repentant heart regardless of its past is always an inspiration to me!
[Reply]
Home is where you and your family grow together and have fun and laughter. Talk about many things and teach them about The Lord. We just had thanksgiving with the whole family and it was so good to see that all of them believe in The Lord .so I know we have done a good job in raising them and passing on The Lords ways. Praise be to The Lord

The word “HOME” to me is a place where my heart is! I don’t have a “fancy” home but it is where I love to be with my husband, our critter’s and the memories of our son growing up here!
“HOME” is also where our son, daughter-in-law and our two beautiful Grandchildren, Aniston and Ari are. Yes they are 2 1/2 hours away from our home but when we are with them we also feel at HOME!
I love watching life change and see the wonder of God right outside my window so to me HOME is where I am with my God and family! 😉
[Reply]
Home to me is where family gathers to make memories. It is a place where you can laugh, cry, worship, pray, talk, or just sit without anything being awkward about the silence. It is a place where you show love, comfort, and peace to anyone who might come through the door.

Home: Home is more than a place I live. Home is my world, a small world in this large one we live in. Home is where the heart is – where my family is, and where God is. MY family gives me the love people so desperately desire when they refer to a place called “home.” When all else is lost, when you feel like the entire world is against you, you can turn to your loved ones and know that you are home.

Home to me is where I’m comfortable, it doesn’t have to be a particular house, but instead a place where I feel loved, where I feel comfortable.
I feel at home when I return to my childhood home, hearing the crunch of gravel beneath the tires and the sound of crickets chirping in the night while fireflies flutter by. Home is when I return to MN and drive down my long, quiet driveway with the scent of pines in the air.
There are many places where home can be!

Home is where my story begins. Tonight it might be inside a dumpster if I I don’t get to eat. Tomorrow night it could be a tall box like for a washing machine to fend off the approaching rain. Many people can happily define it similarly. But when you don’t have those things, home every night changes. It keeps you away from abuse, physical and verbal. Every once in awhile people throw away books which represents Christmas presents to me. Will Christmas come early this year?

Hello mary. I have wanted this book since first seeing it. It sounds so good. I would love one where the guy is on the cover. My home is where I live and love. Where I’m blessed to have a roof over my head, and can relax and always be myself. A place for your children and grandkids and greats can come anytime. Where I can welcome friends anytime for a chat and a good visit. A place to read my Bible , and thank GOD for what I have.A place where there has been much love and laughter with those I love. I would love to win this book. Maxie

Home is where I go to everyday after work to spend some wonderful time with my kids. It is the place where we can be ourselves and even stay in our pj’s all day if we want to. Home is love.

Home is my retreat, to cherish my family, prepare wholesome food, and share meaningful books by reading aloud every day.
I relocated to a rural setting in tune with our values — what a joyful experience!

Home is wherever your family is, where you feel most comfortable and the one place you should love to go most. I don’t even live in the same county where I grew up, but I have some very fond memories of “the old homeplace” where I grew up.

I would love to be considered for the giveaway. I recently went to amish country for the first time. I had been so in love with it before, and am even more so now. Thank you for your consideration.

Home for me is the mountains of North Carolina. Even though I have lived all over the country, this is where I finally feel comfortable…as if my family has been here for generations. It is the one place that I am truly accepted for who I am, the place that when I have been away, my heart is overjoyed to see the mountains again. It’s where I can go to our little library and find a new Amish novel to read!

Home is where I can be with those I love! Home is also where I can worship God and read His word! One day I will reach my eternal Home! There I’ll meet Jesus, my Saviour and see all my loved ones who have gone on before me! Praise God!
