Capture the simple peace of the Amish in your own life  
  
You don't have to become Amish to make personal peace a reality. Organized around five central themes in Amish life, Amish Peace shows you how you can cultivate a simple life of love, gratitude, and faith in the midst of a very complicated world. It includes real-life stories and examples of Plain People, Amish proverbs, and fascinating facts about Amish communities. Each section also contains questions for reflection and action, outlining things you can do in your own life that "make for peace."

Till now I have learnt all I know about the Amish from the very enjoyable Christian Fiction published by Bethany House. If fiction is not for you, this is the perfect way to learn more about them and to absorb some of their philosophy into your own life. At this time of economic crisis they have so much to teach us about living simply. I would not wish us all to live exactly as the Amish do, but we could learn so much from them and their attempt to live Godly lives. Time spent reading this will be well worth while and a pleasure not a chore.
