AMISH VOICES book review

Strong families. Caring communities. The nearly nine in ten youth who join the church. How do the Amish do it?
In Amish Voices, Amish writers share news and advice from their communities and reflect on their daily lives, work, and faith. Brad Igou, publisher of Amish Country News, gives readers a behind-the-scenes tour of Amish life by compiling writing from Family Life, a popular monthly magazine that thousands of Amish people read. Learn about how the Amish began and what they value. Hear what they think about technology, happiness, community, obedience, success, and change. Listen in as they discuss shunning and rumspringa and forgiveness. Find out what sustains them in difficult seasons, and how they try to trust God in all things.
Why learn about the Amish from outsiders when you can learn from the Amish themselves? And why just learn about them when you can learn from them?

MY BOOK REVIEW:   
4 Stars: 4/5 stars
This book is highly informative about the Amish life and faith.  The writings share historical facts as well as personal reflections on so many topics.  I would highly recommend it to those who are interested in the Amish and have little knowledge of their practices.  I have studied the Amish so long that much of it was not new to me.  Some of it was though.  This book does have limited appeal, but excellent for those interested in the Amish.
I received a digital copy of this book from netgalley and Herald Press in exchange for my honest review.  I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.
