Armor for Orchids
Three small-town young women face big-time battles.
After suffering a heart-aching breakup, Marissa retreats into herself, over-exercising and depriving herself of food. When she takes on an acting role portraying a mysterious woman named Poppy, she realizes that to find joy again, she must fight for it.
Still reeling from the void left after her father died, Elise fills the space with short-lived thrills and flings, each leaving her lonelier than before. But when she meets Brady Bradshaw, the lead actor in a movie being filmed in her hometown of Bluebonnet, she finds herself drawn to something more than his charm and good looks.
The honeymoon phase ended long ago for Charlotte and her husband, who pays more attention to his phone and sports than to her. After meeting handsome, blue-eyed Wes, her imagination shifts from the fantasy world of her romance novels to reality. Will she strive to save her marriage, or will lust and apathy undermine what she knows is right?
Poppy McAdams calls these women the Orchids. Despite barely knowing them, this sage older woman assigns each a particular species of orchid, one that reveals what they struggle against and how to fight back victoriously. Her own life has been rife with hardship and heartache, but it serves the Orchids well as they learn to trust in God’s work.
A story of hope, inspiration, and life-changing belief.

This book had been lurking on my kindle for many months before I had a chance to read it. I am not the fastest of readers, nor do I ever have much time to read, but, this weekend, being very tired after starting a new job, I settled down with it and, within the first two pages, was hooked.
The style at the beginning reminded me of The Waltons or Little House on the Prairie, sweetly old-fashioned and full of home-spun wisdom, and I settled in for an enjoyable read in the past. However, it soon jumped to modern day and at first I was unhappy about that, wanting more from the past, however, the characters the author has created are so real and compelling, that I quickly forgave the time jump.
This book is listed as a book of faith, and that alarmed me a little. Not being overly religious myself, beyond the "why can't we all just be nice to one another and get along" mindset, I was afraid I might be preached at, and I was, but for the most part I didn't mind that. Almost like reading a book about another race or culture, Armor for Orchids, gives a fascinating glimpse into the lives of devout, practicing Christians, how they structure their days and motives around the Bible and the teachings of Jesus.
But please don't think that is all there is to this book, because there is more, so much more. An intriguing three strand love story, that dips seamlessly into the past and then back again, with a twist in the tale I did not see coming, but, once the secret was revealed, I could have done with a bit more about it, and, if there is one tiny criticism about the book, it is that the author doesn't explore her characters far enough. I wanted more of them, I needed to know what happened to these three women I'd invested a whole weekend in, and felt a little shortchanged at the abrupt ending and the loose threads left hanging. I don't know if the author is planning a sequel, I really hope so, to clear up the unresolved issues in the main characters lives.
The author's style of writing is smooth and flowing, especially Poppy's remembering of the past, and made for a very pleasant, easy going read. Nothing alarmed or shocked in the telling of this sweet and simple tale, and the book was exactly what I needed to escape from the pressures of life and relax. This book is the equivalent of a hot bath, or a cozy evening by the fire, and offers an escape, for a few hours at least, from the busy existence most of us have.
There is a great deal of religious and spiritual references, and I can see how that might annoy some readers, that sensation of being preached at, but, the book should be viewed for what it is, a story set in an alternative way of life that is clearly very important to the author. As such, the reader shouldn't take the preaching personally, in the same way that any book depicting a lifestyle you do not agree with or understand, should be taken personally. Just because something is different, it doesn't make it wrong.
Overall, I found Armor for Orchids a unique and fascinating read. The intimate stories of the four very different women, and the way the contrasting strands of their lives came together and merged into one, was clever and intriguing. Although there were male characters in the book, it was the women that were its strength, and the title and its concept - rather like the film, Steel Magnolias - says all you need to know about this book. When life becomes too hard to bear alone, it is the other women in her life that very often gives a woman the backbone to carry on. That, in the friendships of women, lie solidarity and strength.

If you like Christian romance stories and authors like Francine Rivers, you will love this book!

Okay, this book was one of my first religion based pieces of fiction I've read. It's definitely the first one I've read in a long while and it didn't disappoint.
Many of the topics and themes in the story were things I could personally relate to or have given a lot of thought to as I ponder what my future will look like. It's nice seeing that other people have reservations, struggles, and and fears when it comes to their religion and lives and this book translated that perfectly.
Another thing that I loved about this book was the strong sense of 'girl-power.' Often times you'll see girls have malicious intent towards each other and speak ill of one another and it's really a shame. So when you do find those rare and genuine women who support and love you unconditionally it makes the hard days seem a little bit lighter.
One thing that was missing from this book that I would have loved to have seen were certain conversations play out between characters. Mostly between the romantic interests. It would have added that much more to an already great plot.
Overall, this was a great read and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a uplifting, spiritual boost.

The best thing about this book is the characterisation. I got so emotionally involved in the individual stories of each of the 'orchids'. Normally I find that when a book skips between two or more points of view there's one I find much more interesting than the rest. In Armor for Orchids that wasn't the case for me. I was interested in them all and also the length of time spent with each one was just right. It kept you excited about their story while not forgetting about the others. I have read many books, some famous, where this technique hasn't been done as well as this. It's a very skilful piece of writing.
One thing I will say is that this is Christian women's fiction. So if you're at all dismissive of religion this may not be the book for you. However, I found that neither is it necessary for the enjoyment of the work to agree with everything said, it is fiction after all!

What a beautiful and inspiring story this is. The four women were wonderful characters who relied on their faith which is nice to see in a book. These ladies were strong and level headed, beautiful and full of many layers, like an orchid. I am new to this author's writing and really enjoyed it.

I signed up to review this novel. I think I saw this on Instagram. Thank you again, Diana Anderson-Tyler for the ARC.
Armor for Orchids is a Christian novel about four women. Their journey to rediscovering their faith, finding new friendships and support, through the beauty, uniqueness and strength of orchids.
In this book, you will meet four different women who were brought together through a movie. A life of an old pastor who resigned from his church because he committed adultery was made into a movie. While the movie was being made, Marissa, Charlotte, Elise, and Poppy, meet in a serendipitous way and became close as they found God, the chink in their armors, their strengths and new meaningful friendships.
I can relate a lot to this book. This mentioned a lot of truth about human weaknesses and tendencies which in some ways I am guilty of. This book talked about recognizing and accepting our frailties and asking God to give us the strength and equip us with armor to fight it. To learn to accept our fears and forgive ourselves. Each character in this story has gone through something that broke her heart leading to the loss of faith in God and in oneself. By the power of the Holy Spirit, through Poppy, each woman was given hope and where to find strength to let go, to forgive and to accept.
I like the analogy and comparison of women to orchids. Like orchids, women are beautiful, strong and can thrive anywhere they are planted. Each has her own strength and has to harness it in order to survive and flourish.
I give this book 4/5 orchids. There are a lot of very valuable quotes here that are right on the bull's eye. They sort of simplified some of life's mysteries. In a way, this book gives hope. In one way or another, I think each of us has been like each of these women. And like all these women, may we find the source of our strength to continue living and find hope, even the littlest spark. To find our armor as we battle life's storms and blows.
Here are a few quotes in the book that I found very inspiring.
From Diana Anderson-Tyler-
Doubt can be a harbinger of something good.
A born perfectionist, always made mountains out of molehills. The slightest bump in the road, the faintest disappointment, and the pettiest criticism would feel like a boulder bearing down on her.
Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.
Everyone of us is capable of having our entire lives toppled by a single problem.
Did he understand how it felt to want to learn more about Jesus one minute, and then curse his name the next?
Most people shrink back from wind and rain simply because they don't know how strong they were made.
Be an original in a world full of copies.
...but the hardest things are typically the most worthwhile ones.
The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear a crushed spirit?
Some people come into this world with silver spoons in their mouths. Others were born with the hounds of hell snapping at their heels.

Diana’s new book Armor for Orchids was my “buddy” wherever I went for a few of months in the second semester of 2016. Not that I’ve taken so long to read it (LOL) but because I couldn’t let it go.
This is the kind of book that goes on my list of “before and after I read it”. Before I read her book I was one kind of person. After, I’ve changed. At the very beginning I thought this was just another entertain and sweet Christian-like novel. But to me it goes deeper.
I wont tell you “I didn’t put this book down”, because I did. But not because Diana’s book wasn’t good. On the contrary!
But I had to put it down many times, I had to put this book down to sight, to sob, I put it down because I had chills, I put it down because I had to hold the tears because I was reading in a public place and had to put myself together. I put it down to think about my own life and my situation. I put it down to cry and to pray. Also, I couldn’t stop thinking about those girls and I take it back and read the same passage again because it has resonated in me.
This is the kind of book that is more than just beautifully written, it’s inspirational. I truly believe that God still inspires writers like He did with the writers of the Bible. And I understood that He sends me a message through the Armor of Orchids’ stories. I was reminded of how God has always looking for us, He is always in control, no matter what may happen.
I’ve been Elise. Elise reminded me who I was at my early adult years. Avoiding a love kind relationship at any cost. She showed me how much I have been healed.
I’ve been Marissa. So. Many. Times. Marissa lived a nightmare that (almost) every woman fears and many have to pass through. And she showed me how much I have learned and how much I had survived.
And now, I am Charlotte. I just hope don’t go so far as she did (no judging!). Reading Charlotte’s chapters, especially the first part of her story, was like reading my own story. I don’t want spoil, but I would like to say that I know her pain and that many of you knows her pain too. Reading her parts was like living again.
But those girls had Poppy, and I don’t have anyone like her to talk, to guide me, to pray for me. She is the kind of friend who I would like to have. I really fall in love with her! She had survived so much and she brings so much wisdom and calm and peace that I didn’t want to let her go.
This is a book for every woman who don’t want to be in a romantic relationship, for every woman who lost a partner, for every woman who is struggling to make a relationship work and for those women who had passed through all and come out stronger and wiser."

Sometimes I think that God messes with me by letting me believe that I am in control of what I do and what happens to me in my life and then purposefully takes that away from me by flipping everything on its side and showing me something to help me see things differently. That's what I feel this book was for me, divine intervention.
I have never read a faith inspired book. I never really thought I was going to read one. As much as I believe in God it never really crossed my mind to read a book about faith. Which, thinking about it now feels rather bad of me, but I digress.
Going into this book I knew it had to do with faith, but I didn't realize how closely I was going to identify with the characters and how much I would hope for their futures.
First off is Marissa, a woman who's break-up lead her to digress into a hole of self-pity that I remember feeling myself when I was having a lot of problems with self-image and self-worth a few years ago. Like my own mother, Marissa's doesn't let her wallow if she can help it. It made me so happy to see a mom that instead of being the sole comforter, actually pushes Marissa to do something and take control of her life.
Then there is Charlotte, a married woman who feels dissatisfied with the way her marriage has transpired and seeks other means to spice up her life. Her faith journey was the one that inspired me the most. Reminding me that under certain circumstances you need to say no where you've previously said yes.
Elise made me really happy. I feel like Brady fit her perfectly and their dates were always fun to read. I love the banter that Brady and Elise had between them both. Her doubts about God made me sad especially her reasons for doubting, but we are all full of doubt one way or another it's a part of life.
Bringing them all together is Poppy, an older woman whose life is being told in a movie. Poppy is the most steadfast believer in God I have ever come across. Her meddling in these women's lives made them and me, all the better for it.
For a faithfilled journey full of ups, downs, side roads, and the guiding light of fate that looks a lot like Orchids, take the dive into the world of Armor for Orchids. A book that for the health of your soul, you will never regret reading.

Christian Encouragement
A faith-based novel, written to support the lives of Christians, Armor for Orchids uses puzzles and flowers and an old woman's story to share Biblical encouragement with the women in the story and with the reader. Well edited and clever, this book may serve as a reminder of the importance of God's protection to people of faith. Although it sometimes reads like a sermon, with extensive Bible quotes, the story itself seems strong enough to share it's wisdom through the discoveries of its women. The book could be considered a Bible study in novel form, adding enjoyment to learning.

I adore books that talk about faith, especially when it is in action.
In Armor for Orchids, we follow the lives of three women: Marissa, Charlotte, and Elise. Each of them on different paths. I loved Poppy! The courage and comfort that she brought to these women.
If you want a faith filled book that will inspire you then look no further.

This was a great Christian book about 4 women journeys. It's about life, love, and the power of god. With the help of one elderly women these women found faith, courage, light, and comfort. I truly enjoyed the read.
March 26, 2017
A lovely Christian faith based novel about women and some of the struggles we face in our lives... internal struggles with our faith; faith in ourselves, faith in others, faith in spirit. I found I wasn't able to put the book down.

Please read this book! I don't normally read Christian books, but this one was amazing! Diane did an amazing job bringing these stories to life, and the characters are relatable.

This is a fun adventure for all Christian women to explore their own relationships. Fun and uplifting.

Escape
This book was a great story to allow you to escape the every day life traffic we all have going on. It will certainly make you think about things in a new perspective.

The characters are real and relatable. Every woman can probably identify with one or all of them. Poppy is an inspirational role model and amazing Christian mentor.
