When he's suddenly faced with the task of helping the fading mid-western town of Prosperity survive, he realizes the task is greater than the town or the District can overcome.
Hearing about Prosperity through a ragtag ham radio, the remnants of the Government sends U.S. Cavalry Captain Jimmy Flanagan to protect the town which has evolved into a symbol of hope for all of America. His nagging concerns about his family in Nebraska keep him restless where he would otherwise find contentment.

The Meek Reviews
-
Wow I hope I can do this review justice, I Don’t like to give spoilers so I will try to just give you as much information as I can to temp you into reading this fantastic book! Let’s start with one of the Authors’s Quotes, “For the English, it was the end of the world as they knew it. For the Amish it was Tuesday”. Now let’s think about how we all look at the Amish for the most part, simple, plain, old fashion, out dated, pioneers, Christians, and farmers. And now our English counter parts, fast paced, Technology Driven, relays on modern conveniences for everyday living. So what would happen if tomorrow life as the English knew it ceased to exist and they found themselves relying on the Amish for not only survival but life skills in general as the life they once knew may never be again?
I think about this book and all the things that are happing in the world, I realize Amos Wyse and Laura J Marshall could not have picked a better time for the book to come out, Pull up a chair and get comfortable I know you will love this book as much as I did, just when you think you will not be able to handle the reality of the words your reading (and believe me in truth this all could happen.) you will be blessed with the wonderful love story, then it’s back to grabbing a tissue as you are yet again struck with the harsh reality of a hard life of war. But be assured thoughout these pages this author carries a strong spiritual treads that reminds us that even in our darkest of times God is in Our Corner, which is yet again another strong Amish thread. I believe this is for me the best Amish Fiction book I have read, within its pages it contains the reality of war, the amazing force of God’s hand in love and guidance, and a love story like no other. Please don’t only read this book but share it,! It really is time to get back to where God wants us to be, and I believe this book is a stepping stone in that direction! -
Oh my goodness. This book is simply amazing. The story is told in a captivating manner that will have the reader thinking this could really happen. I truly had difficulty putting it down. Please do yourself a favor and don't miss this book. Thank you to Amos Wyse and Laura J. Marshall for this thought provoking book.

Great book
This booths me from the beginning. Even if you are not an Amish fiction fan , I think you will enjoy this one. One of the best books I have read -
As I’ve previously said, I am a huge fan of Amos Wyse & Laura J Marshall… who have a new Amish Romantic Suspense out — and it’s truly amazing!
Jedidiah Wenger is an awesome young man who, after losing his parents and siblings, hires three couples to help him with the harvest and the canning of food he’ll need to get through the winter. He has no idea early one morning when he sees the sky light up with flashes of what he believes to be lightning, that the English world is forever changed.
The sheriff in town confirms reports of power outages all across the country, causing widespread panic, looting, and rioting everywhere. Most of the people in the community are happy to work with the Amish and Mennonite families, because daily life for them is the same…
I love how the authors did such thorough research that I found myself deeply involved in the story. The characters are realistic, the action is more than enough to hold your interest and the ending… well, you’ll see (if you read it).
There’s so much more I could tell you, but I’d really rather encourage you to read the Meek for yourself. If you enjoy Amish suspense novels, you’ll love this new story by these amazing authors!
Happy Reading! -
My review today is on the Amish Romantic Suspense, The Meek. For the English, it was the end of the world as they knew it. For the Amish it was Tuesday. I was asked to read this book; all these words are my own. I really enjoyed this book although it is kind of scary how possible the book really is. There are many people worried about this happening to the United States. This book is well written, action packed, and full of faith. You will love this book.
Jedidiah Wenger was working when he noticed lightening off in the distance but there wasn't a cloud in the sky. There were several flashes of light, a strange feeling in the air. He took his milk to the cooler to await the truck to pick it up. It is strange thing that the truck is late. Jed has a large farm that he runs alone. His family had been killed by a drunk driver several years ago. He puts everything into his farm. He has three couple that come each fall to help with the harvest and canning. A half an hour, later more lightening flashes appeared, still no milk truck. The next day he noticed black smoke in the distance. Why would they be burning lands now. He and his man work all morning and afternoon but quit early to go to town. The men meet a lot of cars abandoned in the middle of the road. There are no telephone wires, what can be going on. No one is working; they see a large crowd in front of the sheriff's office. There is no power, everywhere is without power. Jed steps up and tells the sheriff they will help the English.
A journey of the Amish helping the English learn to work in a new world without electricity. The Amish change their lives by moving in together to save heat and food. They must store up enough food and wood for the soon coming winter. God has a plan for a hope and a future for these people. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil. Give Him your heart and watch Him work in your life. God can make a way where there is no way if only you listen to Him and abide in Him. -
The first line grabbed me. End of the world? A normal Tuesday? What in the world does that mean?
Authors Wyse and Marshall have written an Amish book like no other. Suspenseful. Life changing as we know it. I won’t tell you what happens; no spoilers here, but I never thought about this happening. And it could. Reading as people came together to survive a catastrophe, I was forced to consider what we would do if something like that happened. Would we come together? I certainly hope so. I also had to consider how dependent we are on certain comforts. Could we survive if our life wildly changed in an instant?
This is not your typical Amish novel. With a sweet romance, the reality of war, and a fight to survive, there was quite an emotional roller coaster to the book. I became attached to the characters and found myself encouraging them. Faith in God, even during hard times, was the constant thread in the story. Such a great reminder to me personally. Seriously, if you’re looking for something with a different flare to it, please do yourself a favor and read The Meek.
