[Jan]

Photographs and scripture, with important text. This author was born in a Mennonite home and is the founder of Mill-bridge craft village and hires many Amish people. Other books go into greater detail but this one, is the perfect balance. No persons are named as the Amish want no acknowledgement. So beautiful

[Sara]

Loved these pictures.

[Gaile]

Beautiful photos of Amish people coupled with Bible verses illustrate this books. Short simple explanations of the Amish people and their way of life also accompany the photos.
