Reseña del editor:

Brad Igou offers writings by Amish people across North America, compiled from the first 25 years (1968-92) of Family Life, a monthly Amish magazine. He includes letters, articles, history lessons, parables, questions, challenges-a wide spectrum of human experience, from an Amish point of view. Sixteen chapters cover fascinating topics such as shunning, nonresistance, clothing, youth activities, old age, conflicts with the modern world, work, church, humor, and lessons from life. You will laugh, cry, and be touched in a personal way by a people focused on living for God. These humble folk write with simple directness. Open this book and explore the unique world of the Amish, their history, their church; their community, their challenges, joys, and sorrows, as only they can tell it-in their own words. 402 Pages.

Nota de la solapa:

"Brad Igou has combined a quarter-century of Family Life and reproduced Amish-written short pieces on a wide range of subjects: early Anabaptist history, American Amish history, internal conflicts within the community, family relations, child-rearing, worship, nonviolence, and many others. The Amish emerge from these pages much more humanized than they do in the more familiar caricatures; they turn out to be people not so unlike the rest of us, with doubts and disagreements and a sense of humor."
