Joshua's Mission
Joshua's Mission is a new standalone novel in the Plain and Simple Miracles collection from popular author Vannetta Chapman. These stories of love and family and Amish community in Oklahoma tell of the miracles that can happen when lives are lived in service to God and to one another.
Joshua Kline travels from his farm in Oklahoma to offer aid to an Englisch town on the gulf coast of Texas after a category 4 hurricane has ravaged the area. He brings his brother with him, who needs a change of environment. The last thing he wants for Alton is another brush with the law. He is pleasantly surprised when he hears that Becca Troyer, the bishop's granddaughter, plans on joining their team.
What will Joshua find when he arrives in Texas? A lack of electricity, certainly, which poses little problem for the Amish volunteers as they help restore order from destruction. But a budding romance? A call from God? And a possible healing of his relationship with Alton?
Joshua's Mission is a story of love, forgiveness, and the grace of God that carries us through even the worst situations.
"Is it too audacious for a mere reader, even one who has read
nearly every Vannetta Chapman release, to declare Joshua's Mission her 'best ever?' It is wunderbaar gut,
for sure and certain."
—Alan Daugherty, weekly columnist in The
News-Banner
"Joshua's Mission is hands down a must read
book! Vannetta Chapman is a masterful storyteller who has developed
such genuine characters I immediately became emotionally attached
to them."
—Patti Gallagher
"Joshua's Mission is a story that captivates
the reader with the first page. Life can be totally changed by a
weather event and yet can bring people from different areas
together for good. I learned a lot about the destruction that
hurricanes can bring and also, was reminded that God has a plan for
each of us. This is an excellent story."
—Melissa Henderson
"Joshua's Mission is an excellent read you
won't want to miss."
—Anne Rightler
"Cracking the spine of a new Vannetta Chapman book is always a
pleasure and an adventure. Joshua's Mission was
no exception. I grew up in a North Carolina coastal city and we had
some devastating hurricanes. Until you've experienced the massive
destruction these huge and ferocious storms vent, you cannot truly
comprehend them. Chapman has written a revealing and realistic
description of a hurricane impacting a beach community and the
people who live there.
"This is a highly recommended book that you can offer early teens
through grandma to read and feel comfortable about sharing with
them. And I think you'll love Charlie's dog, Quitz."
—Vera Godley
"I absolutely could not put this book down... This is a
wonderful story of love, faith, hope and service."
—Debbie Johnson
"I have to be honest - I have enjoyed ALL of Chapman's books.
She has a gentle style that's just plain likeable. And this book
was no exception."
—Liz Vander Lee
