Review of "Chloe's Revelation"

Review of Chloe's Revelation

(Amish Girls Series--Book 3)

by J.E.B. Spredemann

Chloe Esh has just completed school and is now looking forward to singings, courting, and training in midwifery. While Levi Hostettler has been interested in Chloe for years, she is swept off her feet when she meets handsome Saul Brenneman from another district. Chloe must find God's perfect will for her life and face some tough choices in the process.

MY REVIEW:   Chloe's Revelation is an excellent book for young teenagers as it shows what the consequences of moments of passion can lead to for them.   This series is written for young girls, but I am quite sure that other adults will enjoy it just as much as I did.  The book gives a unique view of courting among the Amish.   It made me recall the thrill of young love.  This book also shows how wondrous life can be when young people consider their actions and choose well.   5 Stars!!!  

I received a complementary pdf version of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.

About the Author: From Amazon.com's author page:

Author Interview below from brittreadsfiction.wordpress.com:

B: Thanks for being here with us. Will you tell us a little about yourself and how long you have been writing books?

J: Thank you for having me here, Brittany. I am the J. in J.E.B. Spredemann. The acronymous name J.E.B. Spredemann was created about a year and a half ago and stands for Jennifer (myself), Emily (my daughter), and Brandi (my daughter). Since three names are a little much to fit on the cover of a book, we thought J.E.B. was suitable and somewhat incognito. ;)

We began penning works of literature a little over a year and a half ago. Joanna's Struggle (Book 1 of the Amish Girls Series) was the first book we co-authored.

NOTE: We began writing the Amish Girls Series together, but since then the girls have branched out and are currently working on fiction in other Christian genres. The adult novellas are solely penned by J. Spredemann. I chose to not change the name because I felt readers were already familiar with J.E.B., so I kept it. The only place this is indicated is at the front of each book where the 'Other Books by the Author' are listed; you will see an asterisk * next to the books.

B: How did you decide to focus on writing Amish fiction? Is this a genre you enjoy reading?

J: Yes, I enjoy reading Amish fiction immensely. Our writing journey began when Brandi asked me why they didn't have more (Amish) books for girls her age. I replied, "Why don't we write some?" Since then, we've put our hands to the plow and haven't looked back. Also, my husband and I both have German ancestry. My husband currently speaks fluent German and has a Mennonite background.

B: I appreciated the fact that the gospel message was clearly presented several times in the story. Do all of your books present the gospel to readers?

J: I think the Gospel is essential and it is the reason I write. I aim to have the Gospel in all my books. In one form or another, it is presented in each book. If a person only reads one of my books, I want them to know that, no matter who they are or what they've done, God loves them and He made a way for them to get to Heaven. John 3:16-18, Romans 10:9-13

B: You have a series aimed at the Young Adult market. Do you have any upcoming Young Adult books you are working on or have been currently released?

J: The Amish Girls Series for teens is an eight book series. The first four books have already been released and number five should be coming out in August 2013. October, December, and February are the scheduled release dates for books six, seven, and eight. Books six and seven are currently in the editing process, and book eight is being penned at present.

B: Will you tell us a little about the next book in the Amish Secrets series and when we can expect it to be available?

J: The next book in the Amish Secrets series is about Joseph Bender, a young man who has been shunned in his ultra-strict Amish community and now lives on the streets. He believes leaving the Amish life behind is best...until he meets kindhearted Anna Smucker. Will his past secrets destroy his future too? A Secret Encounter (Amish Secrets - Book 2) is due to be released December 2013 at participating online retailers.
