Amish Peace: Simple Wisdom for a Complicated World
Of all the gifts that Jesus left us, his peace is most elusive. We long for it in our homes, in our relationships, in our life situations. One place we can look and see "living peace" is in the lives of the Amish. But you don't have to become Amish to bring these simple, practical ways of living into your own life--and make personal peace a reality.
Organized around five central themes in Amish life, each section will include real-life stories, callouts of Amish proverbs, and interesting facts about Amish communities. Each section will also contain questions for reflection and action--things you can do in your own life that "make for peace."

Community Reviews
An interesting book describing how Amish live their lives in a peaceful and much less stressful manner compared to the society that surrounds them. The book mostly relates real-life stories from members of the Amish community that serve to illustrate the values of their community. As the title indicates, the book illustrates the peaceful nature of the Amish people. This is not to say idle - work on the farm and raising large families requires much labour. The way they live their lives is much less hectic and stressful than what most non-Amish people experience. The premise of the book is that non-Amish can choose to emulate the values and approaches of the Amish to make their own lives more peaceful.
