The Reckoning by Beverly Lewis (1998, Paperback)

This is a fun, easy reading novel and series, I enjoyed it. Not too serious or deep, but a nice book that reads fast.

I ENJOYED MY BOOK. CAME IN GOOD SHAPE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVES. If i should need any more books i will remember EBAY.

Anyone who has read the first two novels by Beverly Lewis; certainly cannot wait to read the conclusion. This book has romance, desperation, loneliness, and goes full circle for the heroine. Beverly Lewis has done an excellent job of describing what could have been a horrible experience for a girl growing up in the Amish Community and living in the outside world. Another page turning, up late night reading.

It is a heartwarming book about the Amish and the price was just great. I shopped around quite a bit before finding this book. I appreciate how the website was descriptive and clear. I will be looking here soon for other books that I am intersted in purchasing.

I love this Author and she is a pleasant Writer. She tells a story as if you were there. I have read many of her Novels and have not read one that I did not like. I love her books.

These books have interest from the standpoint of learning about the Amish community, and they are excellent in their explanation of salvation through grace. Unfortunately, Beverly Lewis is not an exceptional writer. She tends to consistently tell the story in the past tense through the memories of the character. For example, the character will be quilting while remembering what happened yesterday. The next scene will find the character baking bread while remembering what happened yesterday after the quilting. The next scene might find someone reading a letter from another character that describes what happened last week. My opinion is that a story is more interesting when it is presented as it happens with dialogue and action. I don't know that I have ever read another author who has as much difficulty in telling a story. I find the lack of present tense action and dialogue to be frustrating. In addition, the plot is extremely predictable. But I appreciate Lewis' beliefs. She obviously knows God personally and, I believe, accurately understands his love, character, and desire to be in relationship with people. From a theological perspective the books are very good. While they cannot be taken seriously in a literary sense, they will likely be greatly enjoyed by younger readers.

"The Reckoning" by Beverly Lewis was a book that I enjoyed very much. The stories of the Amish and the countryside of Lancaster was wonderfully described. I have read other books by Beverly Lewis and they are always well worth reading and great for Christian insights and truths.

The end to a perfect series..loved it all from beginning to end.. one of those books you don't want to put down

I like all of Beverly Lewis' books. Always clean words and great stories.
I hate to see the books end. Always longing for more.

This was wonderful. You have to read The Shunning and The Confession first followed by The Reckoning. Make sure you read October Road (Part 1) to read what happens to Katie and Dan. I recommend these other authors: Wanda E. Brunstetter, Cindy Woodsmall, Beth Wiseman, Lauraine Sneiling, Kim Vogel Sawyer and Shelley Shepard.

This is the third of a series of 3 books by Beverly Lewis. I am reading the third now and I have loved every one of them. I find the Amish way of life very interesting.

Ordered these books to complete my set. Beverly Lewis is one of my favorite authors and when I can order thru e-bay they always come in such good condition. The prices are outstanding and I always get my orders promptly.

Very good conclusion to a 3 book series. The author understands Plain people, their trials and tribulations. I have now purchased the complete set of Abrams Daughters and am well into book 1 of a 5 book series. Plan to read all of this authors novels.

I really enjoy all of Beverly Lewis' books. I had the first two in this series, and wanted this book. When I checked e-bay it was to my advantage to purchase a used (but excellent conditioned) book. I paid less with my price plus shipping and handling. The book itself is a delight full ending to a wonderful series. You must read the first two books first, or this book will not make much sense : The Shunning; and The Confession. Beverly Lewis writes about the Amish/Mennonite people with great love, but is also honest about the historical roots of these plain but deeply religious people. This is wonderful reading without the worldliness of so much other literature mingled in.

What a wonderful story. Beverly Lewis knows how to grab your interest and keep it. I had many hours of enjoyment reading this book.

As with the rest of Beverly Lewis books, I don't get tired of her stories and want to keep reading some more. There is nothing to dislike and everything to like not only about The Reckoning, but all her books.

Great story line, #3 in series, so previous 2 are must reads first. Captivating plot. Good clean reading.

Having just read the two books that started the trilogy, I was anxious to read the ending. Buying the book on EBay was quick and easy and I thoughorly enjoyed the story.

I enjoy reading stories about the Amish. Beverly Lewis' books are excellent reading. I can't put it down until finished.

I have found it so very interesting to learn more of the Amish and Mennonite sects of people. The book is based on Bible knowledge and told with the express intention of relaying to readers that God is the higher being and that He loves us and His Holy Spirit will truly guide us to the truth. Beverly Lewis knows the facts and I enjoy the way she presents them in story form.

The service was very prompt. Also, the book was in very good condition. I would use this service again.
