As a Red Cross Blood Services recruiter and advocate of the Amish, I visit different settlements on a daily basis. I look forward to reading the book and hearing about it at the upcoming Elizabethtown Amish Conference. If I win a copy, I will donate it to the Central PA Amish Library.
I love to learn about the Amish and this sounds so good!

I would give my arm and leg to win this book. I love reading Amish and Amish authors. They all have something to offer in their writings.
This book is one I definitely want to add to my collection. It sounds extensively well-researched and comprehensive, as well as being far more factual than much of what is written about the Amish. I always appreciate more scholarly works, that discuss what the reality of being Amish is rather than all the fanciful stuff that’s spread about (especially on TV, but also in books)! I’d love to own a copy, and many thanks to the authors for their interview!
Miss Giveaway
I love Amish books and Amish authors. They are all rated high in my estimation.
Sounds like a very interesting title. I remember trips to Lancaster, PA as a boy and the different world the Amish seemed to live in.
Im looking forward to reading this book… however I attain it. 🙂
I really love the authors Q&A. Thanks so much!
comment on 3-book giveaway and Q-andA with the authors of the Amish
I am going to Ohio this year and will be having a day in Berlin, Ohio. I can’t wait. We have a small community of Amish close by where I live and I love going to their stores and purchasing homemade items. I been reading Amish books for over 8 years now and truly love each and everyone. I am enthralled with the Amish and love reading about their everyday way of life.
This book will definitely go on my “to buy” list!

WIN A BOOK
Sounds like an absolute “must read”!
I love learning about the Amish and have been fortunate to begin meeting some great Amish folks. My parents have a home in rural southwest Ohio and many Amish, as well as Mennonites, have begun to migrate to that area. One Amish woman told me they left their home in Kentucky because as the English moved closer to their homes, they felt their own children were being influenced by technology in the wrong ways. She said it is important that they follow God and the church, their family and hard work, in that order.
What I find amazing is that because of this, they (as well as extended family), packed up everything, moved away and started over, just to protect their children. Imagine if we, the English, would do something like this to protect our own children?
Sounds like excellent reading! Please enter me in the contest.
Thank you!

We have a large population of Amish in our area. They run discount grocery stores, general merchandise, lumberyards, and greenhouses. They are great neighbors to have!
I’m familiar with the authors’ previous work and would be honored to win this book. I’ll suggest we buy one for our library, too.
As usual, thank you for this opportunity!

A stellar and audacious cast of experts to take on such a daunting challenge. We know we’ll not be disappointed. Congratulations! When did you first conceive the idea for such a comprehensive project and when did you actually begin working on it? Rich S
The Amish
I am fascinated with Amish culture and read everything I can get my hands on – both fiction and non-fiction. I have read books by these authors – e.g., Amish Grace, The Amish Way – and found them interesting and informative, as well as very readable. This new addition sounds terrific and I look forward to reading it.

This book sounds so interesting. I love learning about Amish and their lifestyle.

Sounds like a very interesting and informative book. Would love to own a copy. Enjoyed the author Q & A. Thank you.
I love reading anything and everything about the Amish. I really, really would love to win and read this book. I live in eastern NY and never knew NY state had Amish until I read Karen Johnson-Weiner’s book “New York Amish”. Now I don’t have to travel to Pennsylvania or Ohio when I can just take a day ride an hour away to see the Amish. I used to travel to Pennsylavania to visit an Aunt and Uncle who lived in Lancaster county and would see the Amish from their home. Sadly, my Aunt and Uncle are no longer with us and I haven’t been back to Pennsylvania for years. Thank you for this giveaway.
I would like to enter the book giveaway to donate the book to the library here. There have been Amish here from way back when they lived like most people around here used to but the Amish community is growing and their ways don’t comply with modern laws so there are more and more conflicts.

This has a lot of good info. I’d love to know more.
I know of quite a few people who assume all Amish people must surely be very serious, judgmental, and never laugh. I’m glad I know better. Just as Englisch people run a wide range from serious to …not serious ( lol can’t think of a word ), it makes sense Amish people would do the same!
BOOKGIVEAWAY
I prefer books that I know are written by people who are learned and considered experts. I have several books by Steven Nolt and Donald Kraybill and surely would love to read this one. Thank you for the opportunity.

It sounds like a very interesting read. So much of the things we hear about the Amish seem illusive, more like a make belief life style, than actual people. I’d like to learn more! Thanks for a chance!

I would say the world needed a comprehensive book such as this.
New Book
I am learning of my Amish ties who came to Lancaster, Ohio and Indiana and find them so practical and happy with the lives they have created. I prefer the non fiction books about them and not the romanticized versions.
