Amish in Their Own Words. Amish writings from 25 years of Family Life magazine. Samlet af Brad Igou. Der findes mange bøger om Amish. Nogle er romaner, andre er bøger skrevet *om* dem.

Forlaget skriver:
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.
One truly gets an insight into their thinking, culture, worries and hopes for the future the way that they experience it firsthand. By clinging to past and simple ways of living, the Amish try to live a life dedicated to serving God and others. The book is divided into specific sections which focus on how they perceive and live their lives on an everyday basis including sections on marriage, business dealings with others, death etc. and how best to preserve their communities for future generations to come. This is a great book for a true understanding and appreciation of the Amish.
If you are just curious or want an in depth history of the Amish, this book is fantastic. Since most of the book is based on experiences from the actual people, you can get a feel for what they went through and what they might be experiencing now.

Anmeldelse:
"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."
