Members Reviews:
Thoroughly Enjoyable Book!
Big Decisions is the first Linda Byler book I've ever read, but I am an avid Amish romance reader. The quality of the writing really surprised and delighted me. We often read in Amish romance novels that worry is a sin and that God is in control and will not give you more than you are capable of. Well, this book illustrated this very idea with humor, wisdom, and skill. The main character, Lizzie, is a young Amish woman embarking on an exciting time in her life- joining church, getting engaged, married, and so on, but as she goes through each step you can see her anxiety rise and her attempts at keeping everything under control. With many reminders that it's unnecessary to worry so much, it is hilarious to see her spin out of control only to learn the same lesson again and again. Such a tale of human nature. It's almost like giving you a chance to laugh at yourself. Not only is this book funny, but is is also touching and wise. While us humans fail again and again, we often pick ourselves up and learn from our mistakes (only to repeat them again later!). I love what can be learned from this book. It is delightful and insightful! Now to get the first two books of the series! I highly recommend it!
Finally becoming an adult
Selfish is the best word to describe Lizzie. Even after marriage it takes a few years for her to understand what everyone has been trying to tell her for her entire life. Than she finally sees how much easier life and living can be.
While reading this series, I could picture the differences between my sister and myself, and then the vast differences between my three sons. It has always been interesting to me how each sibling can be so very different and yet be raised the same.
A very good and thought provoking series.
