Of all the gifts that Jesus left us, his peace is most elusive. We long for it in our homes, in our relationships, in our life situations. One place we can look and see "living peace" is in the lives of the Amish. But you don't have to become Amish to bring these simple, practical ways of living into your own life--and make personal peace a reality.

Organized around five central themes in Amish life, each section will include real-life stories, callouts of Amish proverbs, and interesting facts about Amish communities. Each section will also contain questions for reflection and action--things you can do in your own life that "make for peace."

I just purchased this book in Montgomery Indiana - Amish Country. I’ve been interested in these unique and fascinating folks for awhile. Read other books about them and have a bit of knowledge on their ways. So I was disappointed that this book just skims over each subject. I wanted more info and details. A couple pages dedicated to each chapter is just not enough. I would instead recommend Money Secrets of the Amish. Although it is more finance focused, it gives more details and information about these hard working people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meaningful wisdom for a busy life.
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2017

This is a wonderful book. It is divided into 5 parts and within each section are smaller “chapters” with reflection questions at the end of each. These reflection questions ask a person to consider how they may be applying a concept (like forgiveness or frugality) in their own life as the Amish do. I found myself “being in the present” as Fisher suggests the Amish do, something difficult during the holiday season when being pulled in multiple directions. This is a book that I will refer back to time as again not so much for the Amish “facts” (which are plentiful and interesting) but more for the discussion of the culture and and very foundations of what being “Amish” means- and how I may incorporate “plainness” and simplicity into my crazy life!

It's not often I want to thank an author for writing a book, but I thank Ms. Fisher for writing Amish Peace.
Really. I've only begun reading the book, starting with the Epilogue, and was so blessed - it absolutely ministered to me as I am learning to take my "sticky fingers" off the things only God can do, and turn away from "my kingdom" so His Kingdom can come.
Then I read the chapter on special children and know that one of the women I bought a copy of the book for, who struggles with having a severely handicapped child, will be touched and blessed and helped when she reads it. It's hard to wait until Christmas to give it to her.
I love the font...the pictures on the covers...mostly I enjoy hearing the authors "voice". Reading the book is like sitting down and having a good chat with her...it's encouraging and uplifting
I highly recommend this book. I find myself wanting to savor it and make it last. The Amish Proverbs that begin each chapter are finding themselves sprinkled throughout my thoughts and words each day, and it's a refreshing perspective.

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2016

Like many I have always been fascinated with the Amish lifestyle. It seems full of family time, hard work and devotion to God. It also seems like a dreamy destination to escape our hectic high tech world.

This is a book of wisdom on how and why the Amish do what they do. It is a practical guide for the modern day life. We don't have to give up the benefits of technology to live a better balanced life. Don't just read and be amazed by the simple wisdom...let it change the way you live life...a little less stressed, more balanced and full of joy.

One thing I'll say about Suzanne Woods Fisher, she really knows about the Amish.
Better than that, she is one of the few people who understands them and appreciates
the Amish peoples amazing wisdom.
She writes about the Amish people with the respect that they deserve.
I would simply say that she is one of the best writers of the Amish people that you can read.
This book is extraordinary. It goes very in depth, speaking of things you may have never known about the Amish.
One of my all time favourites.

I cannot say enough about this treasure of a book. It is immensely inspiring, to say the least. Suzanne writes in a comforting and cozy manner, making you feel a sense of communion with the Amish. She grasps their intimate moments and leaves you wanting more- I couldn't get enough of this book! It'll truly make you want to slow down and enjoy a simpler life, the life I believe God wants us to live. Focusing on what really matters: family, selflessness, and number one--- God.
Now, when anybody asks me what my favorite is, I can answer with certainty- Amish Peace. I would love to see an Amish Peace 2!
Amish Values and Amish Proverbs by Suzanne Fisher are next!

I really enjoyed this book! The author set up a nice format that included Amish proverbs at the beginning of each chapter, and some facts about the Amish at the end of each chapter. The chapter itself would give personal examples from the Amish on different aspects of their life. The author would then give ways that those of us who are not Amish could incorporate some of those things into our lives. A GREAT book!

As another reviwer wrote: "It made me look at how i live my life and how i could make little changes to a more peaceful life."

I bought the book for my iwfe as a birthday present after we had re-watched Harrison Ford in Witness (great film, by the way an available on Amazon). She loved it and then bought three copies for her firneds! The book has great vignettes about Amish life which really make you think about how life could be a bit more peaceful and simple. I personally would find the Amish lifestyle restrivtive, but we could all benefit form better values and less hurry in our own life, even if we keep electricity and alcohol.

A highly recommended book: well researched and well written, with a great lvoe for the Amish people.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2011

I'm still working my way through this book but it has already challenged and influenced my life. For me, as indeed the writer says, it's not about me becoming Amish but about maybe adopting some of the principles - in small steps -to achieve a less stressful way of life; after all, there are some habits I just get caught up in, like picking up my laptop and wandering around the web aimlessly when I have 10mins to spare, when in reality I could do something much more calming and constructive. The Amish sense of community and how they care for one another is also challenging. Anyway, I won't go on any more - read it for yourself - slowly! It's not a book to be hurried through.
