Book Description
An Amish Boy and a Mother's Prayer takes readers into the heart of Daviess County, Indiana, where Glen Graber was raised. His family was swiftly kicked out of the Old Order Amish church when Glen's dad bought a rubber-tired tractor. Then Glen's mother died, and left him with a request: She had been praying for a business that would alleviate the family's financial hardship, and asked Glen to take responsibility for the family's future. Despite the pressure, Glen and his family found hope and humor each day as God miraculously answered their mother's prayer. More than a biography, this book is about a boy being determined to change his place in the world, and the miraculous reversals of misfortune. It's about the prayers of a mother, the idiosyncrasies and love of a father, and the strength of a family. It is, in other words, the story of us.

My People, the Amish

ISBN: 1622454464
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
In My People, the Amish, Joe Keim paints a detailed picture of life behind the bonnets and buggies. More than a biography, this is an honest look at the heart-warming traditions that mingle with the deep-rooted legalism of the Amish community in Ashland, Ohio. Born, raised, and baptized in an Old Order Amish church, from childhood Joe Keim was taught that if he didn’t follow the twenty-two-page ordinance letter that governed his community, there was no way he could get to heaven. What started as a path of rebellion led Joe and his wife Esther to a caring group of Englisher Christians who would love them like family and show them how to live out their new found faith in Jesus Christ. Nine months after their traditional Amish wedding, Joe and Esther left family and friends forever to live openly for Christ, and endured shunning and excommunication with bold faith. Since then, the Lord has brought many former Amish people to Joe and Esther for help. Because of their passion for the Amish people and with the support of fellow believers, they have brought biblical truth to thousands of Amish through the ministry they founded in 2000, Mission to Amish People (MAP).
