    First posted on my blog, Legacy of a Writer.I wasn t sure how I would like The Face of Heaven, but since I thoroughly enjoy reading about the War Between the States, I took a bit of a gamble and dived in For those historical fiction lovers who enjoy this time period, I recommend this book as an intriguing read that you will enjoy.The thing that made The Face of Heaven so different and unique at least to me was that the two main characters of the book are Amish And one fights as a soldier in the [...]

    Murray Pura is one of a few men who are successfully penning Amish romantic fiction The Face of Heaven has something for male readers as well as female readers This piece of historical fiction beautifully expresses the pain, suffering, and horror of a war that pitted brother against brother Nathaniel, Lyndel, and Levi leave their Amish roots and farmlands to enter the action of the Civil War They seek to bring healing to a nation and an end to slavery of fellow humans This book was particularly [...]

    The Face of Heaven is a book that is grand in scope and appeals to the intellect I found the history of the American Civil War presented within the pages to be detailed and well researched as is also shown by the acknowledgements page Numerous instances in the story give rise to little tidbits about the era or varying perspectives on why things happened the way they did or clashing beliefs that caused so much turmoil So as far as the setting and the context goes, this book is thorough I wish I c [...]

    This review was fist published in Historical Novel Review.When two slaves seeking shelter on Lyndel s farm are recovered by slave hunters, she and her Amish community are confronted with than a crisis of conscience Her Amish elders, her father included, want no part in the upcoming war And even in this pacifist community slavery is hotly contested Most would rather report runaway slaves and abide by the law rather than stir up trouble.But Lyndel and her would be suitor, Nathaniel, cannot stand [...]

    I loved this book It really drew you in to both the time of the Civil War and the world of the Amish without getting too bogged down into gory battle details or too preachy It was really the best of both worlds I felt completely invested in Lyndel and Nathaniel s lives, and was very sorry when it came to an end The conflict between their love for their community and way of life and their commitment to bringing slavery to an end was so well written that I wanted to jump into the world of the book [...]

    The Face of Heaven by Murray Pura is historical Christian fiction about an Amish man and woman who feel strongly enough against slavery that the man joins the union army and the woman volunteers as a nurse on the battlefields of the Civil War There is the romance story line too but the majority of the book is about the Civil War through their eyes Nathaniel and Lyndel must endure shunning from their families and community when they join the war effort, but believe it is what God would have them [...]

    Murray Pura has penned a poignant read in The Face of Heaven, grabbing my attention from the first couple of chapters and holding me captive until the stirring conclusion As with his prior book I reviewed, The Wings of Morning, I greatly enjoyed his take on the Amish community, and found it highly interesting to watch them grapple with how their community should respond to the injustice of slavery and their response to the civil war My favourite line is when Nathaniel questions their stance not [...]

    Clean historical Christian novelI loved this story it was quite gory at times but overall this story was so touching The love from so many towards the slaves was wonderful So many gave their lives so slavery was irradiated It was touching to have a president Lincoln a republican who took on the democrats to stop slavery and lost his life as a result I recommend the book and the author.

    What a time in history to have lived So many men lost their lives fighting for the North and the South Being a nurse would have been an overwhelming job with all the wounded they had to attend to All the blood and destruction from the gunshots No time to dwell on those that died just had to move on to the next wounded soldier Loved the romance between Lyndel and Nathaniel Different for an Amish story to be so bold in talking about it A happy part of the story was when the Amish that were wounded [...]

    This was my first Murray Pura book I wanted to like it, because I ve heard about this author a lot this past year Actually I really liked the story a lot And I love historical fiction a lot However when so many descriptions of battles, or maneuvers, or trail scenes are described in such detail, it loses my interest I don t mind some, just not so many and in such detail But seriously, besides all that, the plot was terrific Mind you, this is just my opinion about my preferences Anyone who likes a [...]
