ABOUT MY BOOKS…It seems like every series I've written has been unique:
AMISH GIRLS SERIES: (co-authored with my daughters) is a fun series set in Pennsylvania, and is geared for teens (although many of my older readers have said they thoroughly enjoyed it!) (8 books + 2 tie-ins)
AMISH BY ACCIDENT TRILOGY: Amish by Accident was originally a stand-alone book (my first book released!) It was SO different (that was my crazy imagination kicking in), I was unsure how readers would respond (or if anyone would even read it, LOL). And then the reviews started coming in! As of today, the book has 700+ Amazon reviews with a 4.5 STAR average! PRAISE THE LORD!!! I ended up writing a sequel and a prequel, thus the trilogy. :) (3 books)
AMISH SECRETS SERIES: Oh, boy! This series tackles some pretty intense topics that you likely won't read about in your mainstream Amish fiction books. The first book in this series, An Unforgivable Secret is currently FREE in ebook. This was another one that I was unsure how it would resound with readers. It currently has 1500+ Amazon reviews with a 4.5 STAR average! GOD IS GOOD! (7 books)
AMISH FAIRY TALES: (originally 'FAIRLY' TALES, on purpose, but not everybody 'gets' my twist on words) Basically loose retellings of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, Amish-style (2 books, #3 on the backburner)
AMISH BIBLE ROMANCES: the Bible stories of Isaac & Rebekah; Jacob, Rachel, & Leah; Joseph; Ruth; and David loosely told in an Amish context. (5 books so far)
AMISH COUNTRY BRIDES: Sweet faith-filled romances set in Indiana (8 books so far)
STAND-ALONE STORIES: Love Impossible (Amish Dreams) this is kind of a Twilight Zone type of story
UNLIKELY SERIES: Unlikely Santa (An Amish Christmas Story) LOVED writing this one, and its sequel Unlikely Sweethearts.
AMISH COLLABORATIONS: Amish Christmas Miracles Collection, More Amish Christmas Miracles (2021), Amish Spring Romance (2022)

A sweet Christian romance about finding God’s will for your life. Amish fiction fans are sure to love this heart-warming story inspired by Isaac and Rebekah from the Bible.
This is Becky Lehman and Isaac King's story.
Isaac King glanced at his father, knowing the conversation that was about to ensue. Again. He mentally braced himself. Really, truly, he understood his father’s dilemma. Dat was afraid that if he didn’t do something about Isaac’s bachelorhood, his son would never marry.
Which, Isaac admitted to himself, was probably true. What was wrong with being single, anyway?
His father now stared at him, scratching his head as if in dismay. “Sohn, you really need to find yourself a fraa.”
Becky Lehman carried the pail of goat’s milk into the house. She’d been blessed that Rose was still giving milk. This would be perfect for the soap she planned on making this week. Not only did she make enough soap for the family to use, but she also earned an income by providing her handmade soaps to local grocery stores.
It seemed Englischers liked her products as much as she did. She couldn’t wait to experiment with the new scents she’d recently ordered.
I highly recommend reading.
AN AMISH REWARD by J.E.B. Spredemann is a wonderful well written 5 star book.

Nice presentation of a Biblical account

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

I really liked the presentation of the classic Biblical account as modern Amish Isaac and Becky. I didn't enjoy the way some of the scenes ended so abruptly. I thought the transitions could've been smoother.
I loved the characters, and it was great seeing the secondary characters' stories unfold, too. Aunt Lucy, now, she was a trip! I did wish Abe had told his son he'd also made the same transgression with deception, but I guess that's why he spoke to the bishop on his behalf.

I've never dreaded a sequel so badly, though. Knowing what's coming in their marriage (based on Scripture, at any rate) makes me nervous for Becky and Isaac, even if he's dropped a little in my estimation by the end of the book. That said, having read the first chapter of the next installment, I feel like I need to read Jacob's story.

I don't know if it's just because I had such a connection to a previously read book, or if I just am not in the mood for a novel such as this one- but I did not feel the pull to this novel that I normally do when I am reading a new novel. I will definitely have to try again later.

I absolutely loved this book and once I started reading it, it was hard for me to put down. Jennifer Spredemann did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life on a modern day biblical perspective. The interaction between Ezekiel and Aunt Lucy was so sweet and comical. All in all this was such a beautiful biblical love story and my hat goes out to Mrs. Spredemann for a job well done. To follow your heart is not always easy nor what others think it ought to be but rather what you feel in your heart is right for you. Becky followed her heart and was blessed beyond blessed with the husband of her dreams and this book brings hope to those who is ready to give up on love!

The author’s books are always enjoyable, centering on their faith, and wanting and waiting for God’s will in their lives. A nice touch thinking of his son, and the plans he has for him. Will it work, read and enjoy and find out.

Cherese Akhavein's review Jun 14, 2019 · edit
it was amazing

I love this series so much it’s interesting to see how the author creates a story line using the Amish around the Bible stories. If you want to enjoy a wonderful look into the life of the Amish through the Bible stories then this series is for you. It’s beautifully write, with a heartwarming sense of romance and faith. Just when I think this book is my favorite J.E.B. Spredemann gives us another in the series and I love that one as well. Do yourself a favor and not only read the series but collect the series because your kids and grandkids will benefit from this wonderful series of Bible stories as well.

A beautiful, clean love story. Not Preachy

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2019

I love this book! This is a beautiful love story about trusting God and waiting for His answer in order to get His very best for our lives. NOT a preachy book at all! I would not mind that but some peoole do. This is a story about 3 couples who find each other and find love and happiness. A very satisfying and well written book. I did think the ending just a tad abrupt. Maybe it could have taken us as far as all the babies born and playing together then fade out... That said, I loved the book and highly recommend it. I will be watching for books by this author!!
