The story of the Amish--told by the Amish.
Brad Igou offers a second volume of writings by Amish people across North America, compiled from the last three decades of Family Life (1993-2020), 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. Fourteen 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.
