Book Description
Follow the Journey from Tradition to Truth in "Undeceived" by Eli Yoder At eighteen, Eli Yoder made the life-altering decision to leave the oppressive and often abusive confines of his Old-Order Amish community. Venturing into the unfamiliar "English" world, he sought freedom from condemnation and ultimately discovered the life-giving truths of the Bible and liberation from the deceptions of human traditions. "Undeceived" is more than an exposé of Amish life; it is one man's heartfelt and intimate search for faith, authenticity, and redemption. While critical of the heretical and harsh practices of his Amish roots, Eli's deep respect and love for the Amish people and lifestyle shine through as he pursues a reality that goes beyond the traditions of his upbringing. For anyone feeling bound by the customs and beliefs of their past or trapped by their life situation, Eli's testimony of tragedy and triumph is a powerful reminder that true freedom does not come through religious practices, institutions, or human ordinance, but through the simple grace and truth of Jesus Christ. Walk alongside Eli as he unveils the liberation he found through an honest investigation of the Bible, encouraging readers to seek truth over tradition and live undeceived. About the Author: Born and raised in Ohio, Eli Yoder left his Hardin County Old Order Amish community at the age of 18. Frustrated by the oppressive traditions of his Amish upbringing, Eli's departure from the ultra-conservative community was triggered when he faced condemnation of his soul for riding a bicycle. Eli left his Amish roots to ultimately embrace the reality and truth he discovered by reading the Bible and discovering salvation through Jesus Christ. Eli is a prominent YouTube and Social media personality where he features a variety of content ranging from Bible teaching to personal stories about his life within and outside the Amish community. Known for his straightforward and heartfelt storytelling, Eli often records his videos from his truck, earning him the nickname "the preaching truck driver". He frequently supports former Amish individuals, helping them transition into mainstream society by providing resources and guidance. Eli's message is not just about leaving a way of life, but also about finding a new path free of deception and using his experiences to educate and inspire others. His dedication to shedding light on the complexities and challenges of the Amish lifestyle has made him an influential voice in discussions about religious oppression and personal autonomy.
