- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5this recording is messed up chapter 12 fits in way earlier in the story...I had wondered how some things got skipped over
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5"When his prayer was finished, Joel stood, holding the Bible against his chest. The seed that had been planted when he'd attended the Amish church with his parents and siblings had finally taken root."This scene is from the last book in The Amish Millionaire series and finally Joel Byler becomes the man that his father always hoped he would be. In the first five books of this series Joel Byler has been selfish, deceptive, disagreeable, and downright unlovable and it has been very hard for me to like him. Time after time he has ignored the teachings of his Amish upbringing and allowed himself to be swayed by his overpowering need for material possessions. It is only after he tries unsuccessfully, time after time, to perform a selfless act that will satisfy the requirements of his deceased father's will that Joel finally understands where his true wealth lies. When he humbles himself and asks for help Joel finally receives the ultimate gift of forgiveness and redemption.Authors Wanda E. Brunstetter and Jean Brunstetter have written a great conclusion for The Amish Millionaire series and I recommend The Selfless Act to all fans of Amish fiction.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Amish Millionaire is a series of six books about an Amish family who copes with the death of the father and the distribution of assets. One of the children has gone out to the world and wanted his money right away. They can't find the will which makes it harder. Like all family, there is problems and solutions. I adored all six of these books and found the series quite enjoyable.
