This heartfelt series about an Amish family began with The Covenant (K1028) and The Betrayal (K1090). Best-selling Christian author Beverly Lewis continues the melodic ballad of Abram, his wife Ida, and their children who work together to learn how to forgive past transgressions and embrace the joy that their faith brings.

"Such a fantastic book. I'm so caught up in the story now to where I'm just flying through this series. So wonderful. I love how she portrays these culture differences in such a positve light. She's not passing judgement on either of them, you just get to observe the ups and downs of both sides of the fence."
— Jennifer (5 out of 5 stars)
“Themes of family unity and forgiveness abound in this moving episode... it’s winsome and full of fascinating cultural detail.”
— RT Book Reviews" Like the title, The theme of Sacrifice is woven throughout the novel. Giving light and hope to Leah Ebersol. The writing style seems different from the first in the series, but I've still enjoyed reading about the Amish way of life and I am hooked to find out what happens next. "
— Lori, 1/31/2014" Mixed feelings on this one. I picked this book up knowing that it was published by Bethany House and that it would be about the Amish. I didn't like the back handed way the author handled the Amish religious beliefs. "
— Cheryl, 1/28/2014" Same as every book in the series, lots of unanswered questions. So you better be ready to read the whole series or else you'll be frustrated. "
— Tanya, 1/18/2014" Loved it!! Very interesting look into a closed off world and society. I learned a lot! Great series!! "
— Raina, 1/17/2014" Damn book made me cry 3 times. "
— Kikki, 1/9/2014" This one was so much better than number two. Even though there are still loose ends (and I'm definitly going to read book 4 and 5,) there was enough closure for the time being. I didn't feel gypped at the end like I did with book two. "
— Maren, 1/5/2014" These books are really growing on me. "
— Janice, 12/29/2013" This was good, though I'm having to be patient with this series...has a lot of suspense and every novel seems to end leaving you hanging:) But it's still good, and I can't wait for the next one! "
— Kayla, 12/21/2013" Very good, continues with the series. Excited to see what happens in the next book. "
— Heather, 12/11/2013" Loved this series of books! Great story with lots of twists and turns!! "
— Shelly, 12/11/2013" My heart breaks all over again for Leah. She deserves so much more than what shes be given in life. Hopefully as the series continues, life will grant her some blessings. "
— Seneca, 11/4/2013" Just when I thought I had Beverly Lewis figured out... This book has so many twists and turns that I just couldn't put it down! I am looking forward to the remaining two books in the series immensely. "
— Catherine, 7/6/2013" I skipped too many pages of this book. Still, I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series, i.e., The Prodigal. I have to know how the story ends. "
— Adenike, 6/2/2013" This series was great. Beverly Lewis always takes me to a place that is visually as well as mentally stimulating. Love all her work. "
— Stephanie, 4/18/2013" I totally agree with the review I saw that this is like an Amish Soap Opera, but I can't get away from it. This is the 3rd in the series and still like them. "
— Shirlyn, 12/13/2012" Very good!!! Anxious to get to the next book! "
— Cindy, 11/5/2012" I liked this series, but it got a little too soap-opera-ish for me! "
— Analisa, 10/11/2012" Same review as the covenant and the betrayal. Was not as emotion evoking as The Betrayal. "
— Amanda, 10/4/2012" Not my favorite thus far of the series. It's a little too evangelical for my taste, however, I am happy to have kept up with the Sadie, Jonas, Leah saga! Looking forward to Book 4. (I kind of skimmed through the evangelical parts...) "
— Jessica, 9/22/2012" I skimmed the pages and was able to piece together what happened, as the series is somewhat predictable. "
— Marci, 5/12/2012" I cried so much I got a headache. Good read. Thorough invested in the characters at this point and can't stop. "
— Memomma13, 1/12/2012" I love all of Beverly Lewis's books! Once I pick them up and I can't stop reading. "
— Katonda, 10/23/2011" I was a bit surprised by how things went in this book. I know the author is trying to show how strong the Leah character is but I felt let down by the change of events in her life. I wanted to see more of her struggle in overcoming her feelings for her sister; it fell a bit flat for me. "
— Sherri, 10/18/2011" Book 3 of Abram's Daughters Saga "
— Erin, 8/7/2011" Most of these books I bought on Amazon for a penny plus shipping. Teenagers would enjoy the stories. It makes me want to go to Lancaster County and see the fruits of their lives in person. "
— Connie, 7/4/2011" Damn book made me cry 3 times. "
— Kikki, 6/27/2011" My heart breaks all over again for Leah. She deserves so much more than what shes be given in life. Hopefully as the series continues, life will grant her some blessings. "
— Seneca, 6/6/2011" This is the 3rd in the Abrams Daughters series. I love these books. Such trials this family goes through, and continues to go through. Do they grow spiritually??? I'm thinking they are growing spiritually in a different direction. "
— Pam, 3/11/2011" Of all the books in the series, this was the most sad, I thought. But still a very heart-felt book. "
— Nicole, 1/4/2011" Not my favorite thus far of the series. It's a little too evangelical for my taste, however, I am happy to have kept up with the Sadie, Jonas, Leah saga! Looking forward to Book 4. (I kind of skimmed through the evangelical parts...) "
— Jessica, 9/12/2010" Like the title, The theme of Sacrifice is woven throughout the novel. Giving light and hope to Leah Ebersol. The writing style seems different from the first in the series, but I've still enjoyed reading about the Amish way of life and I am hooked to find out what happens next. "
— Lori, 8/23/2010" I love this series....If you have ever thought about reading a series about the amish, this is the one to read. <br/>You will not be disappointed. Everyone that I have recommended the series too has fallen in love with Abram's daughters as much as I have...just do it. "
— Jodie, 7/4/2010" My mom gave me this book. It's the third in a series of four or five. I learned a lot about the Amish. I might read the rest of the series. "
— Lisa, 5/10/2010" This book was awesome it starts out slow but it is a great book to read "
— Brittini, 5/4/2010" Excellent. This one is a little more on the sad side then the others, but the story continues to progress and I couldn't put it down! "
— Liz, 3/3/2010" Escape from reality book. Quick read. "
