Praise for The Amish Way
"The Amish Way is enlightening, practical, and well-researched. A wonderful read!" --Beverly Lewis, New York Times bestselling author of Amish fiction
"With detailed personal anecdotes and explanations straight from the Amish themselves, The Amish Way illustrates the simplicity and grace with which the Amish live their lives, and proves that those of us who have our own questions with faith might well learn from their example."--Jodi Picoult, author, Plain Truth and House Rules
"The Amish Way is a treasure--educating as it enlightens, inspiring as it informs. The authors' vast access to Amish life and use of Amish voices makes The Amish Way unparalleled in its authenticity and accuracy."--Erik Wesner, author, Amish America blog and Success Made Simple: An Inside Look at Why Amish Businesses Thrive
"Kraybill, Nolt, and Weaver-Zercher bring a rare combination of expertise and understanding to the religious beliefs and practices that shape Amish life. The Amish Way is a fascinating exploration of the spirituality of a people who live their faith."--Karen Johnson-Weiner, professor of anthropology, SUNY Potsdam; author, New York Amish
"In this beautifully written book, a Christian community that is often viewed as a curiosity emerges as a thoughtful, complicated body of believers. The authors' appreciative and nuanced portrait helps us understand the Amish way of life--and challenges us to reflect on our own." --Dorothy C. Bass, editor, Practicing Our Faith: A Way of Life for a Searching People
