OK, it's a little old-fashioned, but it's a relic of a bygone age, and many of the recipes deserve to be given new life. The weaknesses are mostly in some of the main-course recipes that, by all appearances, can be extremely fatty and greasy. Speaking as someone who just lost 30 pounds, I don't need that! But they're probably good for an occasional indulgence. The cookie, cake and pie recipes ...             Best Of Mennonite Fellowship Meals6 reviews Phyllis P Good Good Books, 1969 Highly recommended! One of my favorite traditions is the church fellowship meal - where each family brings a dish to pass, and the whole congregation gathers together to eat in Christian fellowship. This wonderful book is a collection of over 900 recipes (I took the author's word for it, I am NOT going to try to count them!) that were collected from Mennonite churches across the United States. The main part of ...             Stories: How Mennonites Came to Be1 review John D. Roth Herald Press, 2006 An Insightful, Fascinating, and Relevant Expression of the Mennonite Story This is one of the best church books I've ever read--it definitely deserves re-reading. In order to avoid the common mistake of telling the Anabaptist story by starting in the sixteenth century, Roth opens up by relating the story of Jesus and His first followers, and summarizes the first three centuries of the Christian faith. He then moves to the conversion of Constantine, the Roman ...             Beliefs: Mennonite Faith and Practice3 reviews John D. Roth Herald Press, 2005 GREAT book!!! Whether you are Mennonite or just curious, this is a great book to read. I was raised Mennonite, but strayed away from the religion when I was a teen- it seemed so old fashioned. But after reading this book, I can say that I really am a Mennonite at heart. It clarified all my questions about where our beliefs come from. Mennonite beliefs are very simple, straightforward, and rather admirable. ...             Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective2 reviews Herald Press, 1995 What Mennonites Believe This book provides the reader with the core values that Mennonites confess prior to becoming members of a Mennonite congregation. The book includes commentary and biblical references. Essential for any Mennonite or person who wants to know what Mennonites believe.             From Amish And Mennonite Kitchens7 reviews Phillis Pellman Good Good Books, 1969 Great Recipes, Great Cookbook I love this cookbook! It has simple, delicious recipes presented in an easy to read format. A plethora of hearty dishes awaits you, including a great section on soups. There is even a recipe for homeade root beer! I would recommend this cook book for anyone who likes classic American dishes and desserts made with easy to find ingredients.             What Mennonites Believe3 reviews J. C. Wenger Herald Press, 1991 A Good Baseline This book provides a good baseline and is written by one of the best-known writers in Mennonite circles. It gives a good overview of the basic traditional Mennonite beliefs. By reading this book and comparing the text with current beliefs and practices in the Mennonite Church and General Conference Mennonite Church, the reader can see how the church has drifted from its traditional beliefs.             Mennonite Country-Style Recipes & Kitchen Secrets9 reviews Esther H. Shank Gramercy, 2000 Mennonite Cookbook should be in EVERY kitchen This is a very helpful and resourceful book, that must be in every kictchen. I received this book as a gift from my mother-in-law, and have used it constantly over the years. There are excellent recipes, hints and tips. I would highly recommend this book to all those who are in the kitchen. Everyone can learn something from this book, young or old, new cook or experienced. You will not be ...             An Introduction to Mennonite History: A Popular History of the Anabaptists and the Mennonites6 reviews Cornelius J. Dyck Herald Press, 1993 An Advanced Teaching in Mennonite History I read this book a few years back and remember it as a book that was very detailed and informative. It is not an easy read. It's more on the level of college material and definitely for the serious student of Mennonite history. Don't let that scare you away. Even if you pick up one half of what is written you will probably know more history than most Mennonites. I found this to be true in my ...             Mennonite Handbook1 review Herald Pr, 2007 Hilarious & Profound This book is a hoot. It also contains a lot of valuable facts and information. Recommend             The Mennonite Starter Kit1 review Craig Haas, Steve Nolt Good Books, 1993 The Mennonite Starter Kit Wonderful! A masterful compilation of almost every inside joke, cliché, and quirk of the Mennonite Church. Probably not very funny if you aren't Mennonite, but as the title suggests, it's a great way to learn to understand the Church if you've just joined.             Modest Mennonite Home2 reviews Steve Friesen Good Books, 1990 Not just a guidebook to one specific 18th century house Sure, this book was designed to explain the origins of the Hans Herr House built near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1719. But it includes historical background about the Mennonites from their beginnings in Switzerland and the German Palatinate through their immigrations to North America in the early 1700s. Aspects of typical daily life are detailed as well, such as building construction ...             The Mennonite Hymnal1 review Mennonite Church Herald Press, 1960 A treasure This Hymnal is a treasure to me. It has a variety of hymns, including many German hymns (many translated by Catherine Winkworth), English hymns, (including some with music by Ralph Vaughn Williams), and a select number of gospel hymns. The arrangements are always beautiful. I love the many songs which I have found only in this hymnal.             20 Most Asked Questions About the Amish & Mennonites (People's Place Book, No 1)7 reviews Merle Good Good Books, 1969 Buy it! This book is the first in the People's Place Booklet series on the Amish and other Old Order Anabaptists. This particular book goes into 20 top questions on the Amish and Mennonites, ranging from "What is the difference between the Amish and the Mennonites?" to "What, in fact, holds them together?" Along the way, the reader is treated to many black-and-white pictures, and a lot of information on ...             Mennonite Arts (Schiffer Book for Collectors) Clarke Hess Schiffer Publishing, 2001 This pioneer work presents the rich and diverse decorative arts produced by the distinctive Mennonite communities in Europe, Pennsylvania, and Canada over a 300-year period. In his scholarly text, Clarke Hess identifies a host of newly recognized Mennonite artisans of traditional textiles and quilts, furniture, clocks, wooden boxes and carvings, metals, pottery, and fraktur. Derived from private collections throughout the United States and ...             Testing Faith And Tradition: Global Mennonite History Series, Europe (Global Mennonite History Series) Claude Baecher, Neal Blough, ... Good Books, 2006             The Mennonites2 reviews Larry Towell Phaidon Press, 2000 A book for life Reviewing a photo book is extremely subjective. I first read this book 5 years ago when I started college and wasn't impressed by it. I picked it up again last year and see the pictures with new eyes. The pictures and writing create a piece of literature more about humanity, independence and will than Mennonites. It is my Bible.             On the Backroad to Heaven: Old Order Hutterites, Mennonites, Amish, and Brethren (Center Books in Anabaptist ...6 reviews Donald B. Kraybill, Carl Desportes Bowman The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002 The best book on some of the most interesting peoples around As a person always curious about lifestyles different from my seemingly mundane existince in suburban Melbourne, the Amish and Old Order Mennonites, with their resistance to technology and extremely gentle and peaceful beliefs, have always fascinated me. Although other books, such as the "People's Place" series, actually offer a good deal of useful information about specific topics relevant to ...             Mennonites, Amish, and the American Civil War (Young Center Books in Anabaptist and Pietist Studies) James O. Lehman, Steven M. Nolt The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007 During the American Civil War, the Mennonites and Amish faced moral dilemmas that tested the very core of their faith. How could they oppose both slavery and the war to end it? How could they remain outside the conflict without entering the American mainstream to secure legal conscientious objector status? In the North, living this ethical paradox marked them as ambivalent participants to the Union cause; in the South, it marked them as clear ...              search for books american, anabaptist, anabaptists, backroad, beliefs, brethren, collectors, community, confession, cookbook, country-style, favorite, fellowship, handbook, history, hutterites, introduction, kitchens, mennonite, mennonites, perspective, pietist, popular, practice, questions, schiffer, starter, studies, testing, tradition books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
