I absolutely loved this book. I felt like I was visiting the Amish of Holmes County, Ohio first hand. I found it to be quite informative about various aspects of their life and I highly recomend it to everyone that wants to learn about the Amish.

If you have ever wondered what a normal day in the life of an amish man or woman consists of, then you will thoroughly enjoy this book. The chapters are actually articles that were written for a special section in the Holmes County newspaper,specifically dealing with the ways of the Amish. The chapters deal with various customs and traditions of the Amish culture, how the Amish make their living, what a typical Amish School is like, and what is expected from them personally in their church.

This book only touched upon the history of the Amish people,and did not really talk about all their religious beliefs,but after reading it,I do feel like I have a better understanding of this culture. I found this book full of detail when it came down to the every day life of the Amish people.I would recommend this book to anyone who is curious about the Amish culture.
