false <![CDATA[Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173805125m/330396.jpg 385664 3 Rumspringa is Tom Shachtman’s celebrated look at a littleknown Amish coming-of-age ritual, the rumspringa—the period of “running around” that begins for their youth at age sixteen. During this time, Amish youth are allowed to live outside the bounds of their faith, experimenting with alcohol, premarital sex, revealing clothes, telephones, drugs, and wild parties. By allowing such broad freedoms, their parents hope they will learn enough to help them make the most important decision of their lives—whether to be baptized as Christians, join the church, and forever give up worldly ways, or to remain in the world. In this searching book, Shachtman draws on his skills as a documentarian to capture young people on the cusp of a fateful decision, and to give us “one of the most absorbing books ever written about the Plain People” (Publishers Weekly). 320971 2006 Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish total:403|5:32|4:129|3:167|2:67|1:8| 403 1319 723 115 385664 0865477426 9780865477421 377 103 Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish 3.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174353928m/385664.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/385664.Rumspringa_To_Be_or_Not_to_Be_Amish 3 3 false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Nov 08 04:16:00 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 29 04:36:19 -0800 2007 more...]]> 385664 0865477426 9780865477421 377 103 Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish 3.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174353928m/385664.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/385664.Rumspringa_To_Be_or_Not_to_Be_Amish 5 5 false Thu Mar 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 14:57:38 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 15:14:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 385664 0865477426 9780865477421 377 103 Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish 3.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174353928m/385664.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/385664.Rumspringa_To_Be_or_Not_to_Be_Amish 3 1 false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 11:39:47 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 11:57:53 -0700 2008 more...]]> 385664 0865477426 9780865477421 377 103 Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish 3.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174353928m/385664.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/385664.Rumspringa_To_Be_or_Not_to_Be_Amish 4 1 false Mon Jun 30 15:26:50 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 30 15:41:49 -0700 2008 ...more...]]> 385664 0865477426 9780865477421 377 103 Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish 3.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174353928m/385664.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/385664.Rumspringa_To_Be_or_Not_to_Be_Amish 3 2 false Sun Sep 16 18:06:41 -0700 2007 Fri Jan 11 22:49:27 -0800 2008 more...]]> 385664 0865477426 9780865477421 377 103 Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish 3.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174353928m/385664.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/385664.Rumspringa_To_Be_or_Not_to_Be_Amish 3 1 false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 05 05:54:51 -0800 2007 Mon Mar 17 04:43:57 -0700 2008 more...]]> 385664 0865477426 9780865477421 377 103 Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish 3.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174353928m/385664.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/385664.Rumspringa_To_Be_or_Not_to_Be_Amish 5 0 false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Mar 18 05:52:01 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 05:56:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 385664 0865477426 9780865477421 377 103 Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish 3.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174353928m/385664.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/385664.Rumspringa_To_Be_or_Not_to_Be_Amish 5 0 false Sun Jan 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 16:24:40 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 16:33:20 -0800 2009
