MY THOUGHTS.....

The Beloved Christmas Quilt is a beautiful Christmas quilt given to a young woman by a dying friend who had planned to present it to her daughter on her wedding day. This quilt becomes a source of both enjoyment and comfort due to its outward beauty and the Bible verse stitched on the back. “For thou are my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me." The words of Psalm 31:3 offer three generations of one family comfort, strength, and the reminder that they have each experienced love and blessings throughout their lives. And even though their lives haven't been exempt from problems, they've always known that their family and God would help them through those trials.

I truly enjoyed The Beloved Christmas Quilt. Three generations of Brunstetter women each share a story linking three generations of Zook women to a treasured Christmas quilt. Three different authors successfully blended their stories into one appealing plotline! It is a perfect book to read during the holidays, but its message is appropriate at any time. We are reminded of God's love; His perfect plan in creating a family unit; and the joy of traditions passed down from one generation to another.

This is a reissue of a book that I first read in 2017, but it is as appealing today as it was then! Thank you, Wanda Brunstetter, Jean Brunstetter, and Richelle Brunstetter, for your heartwarming stories!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
