Plain Wisdom by Cindy Woodsmall and Miriam Flaud

Plain Wisdom is Plain Heartwarming!

Cindy Woodsmall and Miriam Flaud are two great friends from very different backgrounds. Cindy is a Christian mom and writer living in the mainstream world of media and hustle. Miriam is an Old Order Amish mom who resides in a traditional Amish community. Cindy and Miriam recount stories of motherhood, faith and life from their unique yet similar perspectives. Faith in God is the driving force in each of their lives. Their stories are heartwarming and contain wisdom only derived from living as Christians and mothers. Throughout the stories, Cindy and Miriam offer a glimpse in to the day to day lives of the Amish. The hard work and immense joys are shared as well as information regarding certain Amish traditions. The information was beautifully intertwined with the stories and enhanced the readers understanding of the Amish life. The feeling of the book is that of two experienced mothers passing on life stories to a younger generation. In addition to passing on wisdom, Miriam was kind enough to include some of her family’s favorite recipes! I highly recommend this book. I am confident that it will bless your life as it has mine.

"I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review". The review was not influenced by the publisher. It is my honest evaluation of the book.
