| Abstract | [The author] took the time to rub shoulders with the Amish, stepping into their world and living there as possible for months on end. The result is this book, describing virtually every aspect of Amish life and faith, hope and vision...The author has found a way to help the reader enter into the life of an Amish community -- experience with them their special moments at home, at work, in school, in worship: their hopes and fears, their fortitude and foibles, their keen wisdom and admonitions, their conclusions about the whirlwind and insatiable society of modernity. -- foreword |
