20 Most Asked Questions About the Amish and Mennonites
This is a good beginner book for someone who is curious about the Amish and Mennonites. It does not contain some of the fascinating details which may be found in other books, such as Rumspringa. We all have to start somewhere and I hope that those who hunger for more knowledge will consider expanding on this information. Ebay sells a good many such books. I think there is a great deal we can learn from the Amish and the Mennonites about living a good life, loving your fellow man/woman, and developing a personal relationship with God.

Price was right but didn't care for the book
I bought this for my young grandchildren and when it came I found it wasn't an easy read for eight year old children. I am from Lancaster County Pa. and have read many books about the Amish and Mennonites and know many of their customs and I didn't enjoy this book at all. The answers to the questions are too long. Should have more questions and shorter answers. I would never suggest this book for anyone to read unless they know absolutely nothing about the Amish and Mennonites. I have read many books that have had more basic information.

Simple explanations
Brief "booklet" with pictures, simply discusses the Amish faith and practices. I found this very helpful for a person without a lot of time to read things like this. The Amish are amazingly prepared for all those "emergencies" that most of us are either oblivious to or just plain lazy to prepare to... earthquake, hurricane, tornados, floods, blizzards, power outages, economic collapse... on and on... they will not even have a "blip" in their day to day.

20 Most Asked Questions About the Amish and Mennonites
I recently visited an Amish community and wanted to learn more about their customs and beliefs. That is what prompted me to buy this book. I thought the book was very interesting and gave good explanations. I would recommend it for anyone wanted to better understand the Amish and Mennonite people.

good book
Answered my questions, thanks! I might go live with the Amish and this will help me prepare. It is helping me learn about their clothing, beliefs and their lifestyle.
