review 1: Great book! The author, Lorilee Craker, writes in a very fun style, and it's very interesting.Each chapter is on a different topic, such as food, gifts, "de-spoiling children", debt, etc.She describes the visits and conversations she had with Amish people on the topic of the chapter, and then how she (and her husband) applied it to their family's life.I spotted it first in Indianapolis' Eskenazi Health Center gift shop, and then checked it out of the library.
review 2: How do you write a book about money secrets of the Amish and glaze over the number one way they save money???They grow most of their food. They don't buy from co-ops they are the co-ops. This book was a waste of time. It's a way of bragging about Ralph Lauren finds in second hand stores. She in... moreterviews one man of fourteen kids and asks whats your secret? He lives thrifty. Wow no kidding. This man is deep in his faith and believes God well provide and does. Though she doesn't mention it aside from hand me downs. I garuntee you they breastfeed, cloth diaper, can/dehtdrate/etc out if thier garden, they put thier kids to work while instilling the value of what they have. Driving a beat up van through a rich city is applaudable? Car pools, bicycling, and walking is even cheaper and really worth a standing ovation.Cmon lady. Get in and get your hands dirty. Shopping whether by gap or by Goodwill isn't how to save money. less
