A Customer - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Amish in Their Own Words (Paperback)

This book was fascinating! Written by the Amish themselves, it presents the reader with an authentic view of Amish life. This book is one of the best insights into the Amish culture that is available on the market today.

Jennifer Spinner "wife, mom, all-around nice gal" (Western Washington) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Amish in Their Own Words (Paperback)

We drove into Lancaster Cnty. yesterday to "see the Amish." I picked this book up (for a bit more than it is offered here at Amazon) and breezed right through. It is interesting - to say the least - and quite provocative. It debunks many of the idealized stereotypes I had of the Amish and portrays them as 'normal' people who have deliberately (and sometimes not deliberately) chosen a very separate Christian walk. Very inspiring, too. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in the Amish & Mennonites as well as all Christians. We can learn much from the quiet people in the land.
