Customer Reviews

What a handy resource!

As a writer, I'm constantly looking for resources, and I'm so glad I found The Pocket Guide to Amish Life. With topics divided by chapters, it's easy to find the answers I need. I especially enjoyed the chapter Myths vs Truths. After reading that chapter, I realized my view of the Amish Life was not a true picture. Thank you for giving me a true picture, Mindy!

Fun and informative

What a delightful little book. I've often been interested in the Amish but found the other nonfiction books had too much information. I wanted to know the basics and it was tough to draw those out of the abundance of information. This was an easy, quick, and fun read.
