The Amish [Kindle Edition]

Ammon Monroe Aurand Jr. (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This is a short pamphlet about the Amish written in the 1930s by A.M. Aurand, Jr., a local Pennsylvania writer who self-published a number of similar booklets. Written in a conversational style, this outsider account is sympathetic and provides a surprising amount of detail about Amish and Mennonite religious beliefs and practices. Because Amish life is deeply conservative, this treatment remains useful for understanding their culture, even though it was written decades ago. ---J.B. Hare

I can't tell you how ackward this book is to read. Chopped sentences, missing page and the list goes on. He has many facts wrong altogether also, so I wonder where he got his research from. It is imformative even so, and I will finish reading it in good time. I can speak with some authority because my ancesters are both Mennonite and Amish, and I've written several pamphlets for the Christian Research Institute when I held a position there during the 1990s. Sorry for the spelling errors. To correct them all is too difficult right now.
