Growing Up Amish
Author: Richard A. Stevick
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421413728
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
Accurately reveals the challenges faced by Amish youth caught between the expectations of traditional community and the pressures and temptations of adolescence. On the surface, it appears that little has changed for Amish youth in the past decade: children learn to work hard early in life, they complete school by age fourteen or fifteen, and a year or two later they begin Rumspringa—that brief period during which they are free to date and explore the outside world before choosing whether to embrace a lifetime of Amish faith and culture. But the Internet and social media may be having a profound influence on significant numbers of the Youngie, according to Richard A. Stevick, who says that Amish teenagers are now exposed to a world that did not exist for them only a few years ago. Once hidden in physical mailboxes, announcements of weekend parties are now posted on Facebook. Today, thousands of Youngie in large Amish settlements are dedicated smartphone and Internet users, forcing them to navigate carefully between technology and religion. Updated photographs throughout this edition of Growing Up Amish include a screenshot from an Amish teenager's Facebook page. In the second edition of Growing Up Amish, Stevick draws on decades of experience working with and studying Amish adolescents across the United States to produce this well-rounded, definitive, and realistic view of contemporary Amish youth. Besides discussing the impact of smartphones and social media usage, he carefully examines work and leisure, rites of passage, the rise of supervised youth groups, courtship rituals, weddings, and the remarkable Amish retention rate. Finally, Stevick contemplates the potential of electronic media to significantly alter traditional Amish practices, culture, and staying power.

While a young widowed Dokterfraa learns to heal the body, the Great Physician heals the heart … In Herb of Grace, Sarah Yoder, an Amish widow in Pennsylvania’s Whinburg Township, is doing her best to provide a home for her young family. But it’s difficult to pay the bills—until the local Dokterfraa, or herbal healer, makes a startling suggestion: Could she be a healer? As Sarah learns to compile her cures, she waits for God to do his healing work. In a man who rues a harsh decision. In a lonely prodigal who has lost everything. And maybe even in a herbalist-in-training who firmly believes she will never love again … In Keys of Heaven, Sarah Yoder is learning to use the herbs in her garden and fields. But Sarah’s relatives can’t resist doing some matchmaking between her and a prosperous visitor to their community. She should be willing for God to show her His choice of partner … and not allow her friendship with her neighbor, Henry Byler, to grow into anything more. The plant Sarah calls keys of heaven may grow in impossible places, but it’s not easy for people to find the place where they belong. So it’s quite a temptation to take matters into her own hands … In Balm of Gilead, with Henry Byler now engaged to an Englisch woman, Sarah Yoder is doing her best to find peace. But when Henry comes to her for a cure to heal his sensitive hands before his success as a potter is jeopardized, Sarah must stifle the longing in her heart.
