A warmhearted and fascinating look at these people January 6, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is the eighth in the People's Place Booklet series on the Amish and other Old Order Anabaptists. This wonderful book covers a group of special occasions (such as weddings, baptisms, choosing a pastor, funerals, and much more!), explaining how they are run and what they mean. But, this is more than a boring recitation of information. Instead, the author weaves fascinating stories, bringing the ceremonies to life through the eyes of fictional participants!Overall, I found this to be a warmhearted and fascinating look at these people, really bringing their lives and ceremonies right to me. The Amish wedding chapter was great, and I found the Old Order Mennonite baptism to be especially touching. If you are interested in the Amish and other Old Order groups, then I cannot recommend this book to you enough. Get it!

This book is not at all stuffy. It presents its material clearly and accurately, but in a style that is easy and enjoyable to read.
