I would love to win this volume of impressive works.
Thank you for the opportunity.
The book sounds very interesting! We live in Holmes County OH, the largest Amish community in the world. We visited with the Hutterites at several of their compounds in South Dakota and very much enjoyed their hospitality. We’d like to learn more of other settlements.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Fascinating! I seem to be immersing myself in much of the information concerning the Anabaptists, their cultural and spiritual beliefes, and how they live it out in the world. I am currently reading and learning from The Amish Way and would LOVE to have one of these books, as well!

always the most responses when giving away a book,lol. i comment on here because i enjoy it, and because i enjoy coming to this site. to prove that ill pass on winning the book……….
What a great resource. I wish this book had been around in the’90’s when I was teaching at Faith Mennonite High School in Lancaster. Having Mennonites, Beachy Amish, and Church of the Brethren students together – this would have been valuable to them to help them “sort each other out”!
Richard, I post on here frequently too. And I too, enjoy the blog and all the interesting information,,,, but I would still love to win the book. š
Wow, he didn’t know about the Menno’s in the Bahamas? I could have told him they were there. And they ARE doing mission work- there’s a church! Oh yes, and enter me in the drawing please. š
