review 1: I have been intrigued and inspired by the Amish for some time now. Their simple faith filled way of life contrasts the busy, complex shallowness so prevalent in our society today. This book shares stories and experiences from Amish individuals and families that exemplify the Christian values that so many say they want to lives by, yet have strayed so far from. Reading this book made me think about my own priorities and how I might simplify and refocus on what is most important - God, marriage, family, community. Indeed, as this book points out, there truly is much we can learn from the simple way of life and faith that the Amish embrace.
review 2: For the most part, I really enjoyed this little book. I read a section each day alongside my daily devotional.... more There were a few stories that I didn't find particularly inspiring or interesting, but most of the time Suzanne managed to put forward a useful, practical application from each tale she told. I'm not sure if it's because I put this book down for a period and came back to it a few months later, but I found the insight at the start of the book much deeper than the application sections towards the end. I definitely took less notes as I got close to finishing the book.If you read a lot of Amish fiction or have studied them at all, some of the basic facts about the Amish might not be new to you, but the insight into their family traditions and methods of parenting were certainly interesting to me. Not all of them will be applicable given our circumstances, but but for the most part, this book made me think. 4* less
