I picked this book up (for a bit more than it is offered here at Amazon) and breezed right through. It is interesting - to say the least - and quite provocative. It debunks many of the idealized stereotypes I had of the Amish and portrays them as 'normal' people who have deliberately (and sometimes not deliberately) chosen a very ...             Mennonite Community Cookbook: Favorite Family Recipes14 reviews Mary Emma Showalter Herald Press, 1992 A classic! 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 ...             Martyrs Mirror: The Story of Fifteen Centuries of Christian Martyrdom From the Time of Christ to A.D. 166016 reviews Thieleman Van Bragt Herald Press, 2001 Book review A part of my family research - but brings the sadness, the strength and the Christian conviction to a very harsh reality. Something all of us from those roots need to read.             More-With-Less Cookbook (World Community Cookbook)85 reviews Doris Janzen Longacre Herald Press, 2003 Very Flexible Cookbook I love how this cookbook is very realistic and flexible. It gives so many substitution options. You can swap ingredients for something you may have on hand, add on something if you happen to have it, or even omit ingredients if you don't have them depending on the recipe- it will let you know. The recipes are great and very cheap. I use this book literally every day and have learned SO MUCH! ...             Simply In Season (World Community Cookbook)24 reviews Mary Beth Lind, Cathleen Hockman-wert Herald Press, 2005 Simply a great cookbook/resource I really have liked the recipes I have tried so far. Also a great book just to flip through and enjoy. I enjoy the way the book is divided up into different seasons and color coded for easy reference!             The Upside-Down Kingdom11 reviews Donald B. Kraybill Herald Press, 2003 Upside Down? Yes... Upside Down! I will never forget the confused look I received from the audience when I said, "The Kingdom of God is Upside-Down." This revealed to me that many Christians probably have not given a lot of thought to the Kingdom of God. If the Body of Christ fully understood this Kingdom... I don't think she would squinch her eyes at the words "Upside Down." And I certainly don't believe we would be giving in ...             Breaking silence: A family grows with deafness11 reviews Ferne Pellman Glick Herald Press, 1982 one of the most beautiful album ever "breaking silence" is without any doubt janis's best album... so good from the first song to the last. "some people lives" will make u cry and "breaking silence" is probably one of the most well recorded songs i've ever heard (so if u have a good HI-FI system, it's a pure joy !!!). conclusion : get it !!!             Extending the Table: A World Community Cookbook22 reviews Joetta Handrich Schlabach Herald Press, 1991 Not just "Christian moralizing" All the recipes in this book are delicious, clear, and exciting, as the other reviews amply cover, but the anecdotes and essays and quotes are equal treasures. While the book is written from a missionary-Christian POV, I found it meaningful and touching as an agnostic sort-of-Jew, and never felt proselytized or talked down to, and it never seemed like the many different faiths and cultures of the ...             Black Spider over Tiegenhof5 reviews James D. Yoder Herald Press (PA), 1995 Black Spider Over Tiegenhof In reviewing three W. W. II era books, by far the most somber, and...the best of the novels...The brutality done to Ruth simply screams from the page. Yoder's sentences are spare and powerful...deeply moving.             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 ...             Complete Writings of Menno Simons: Circa 1496-15614 reviews J. C. Wenger Herald Press, 1956 A good book on the writings of an early Anabaptist leader. This book edited by J. C. Wenger's contains a new translations of Menno Simons' writings and is worthwhile reading for those looking to understand the Anabaptist-Mennonite view of Christianity. Another book by Bro. Wenger, "Introduction to Theology", is also a good source book on Mennonites. This book is again in print.             Meditations for the New Mother6 reviews Helen Good Brenneman Herald Press, 1985 Wonderful This wonderful book is a collection of thirty meditations for the new mother, written by Christian author and speaker Helen Good Brenneman. Starting with a special one for the first day, each one has a Bible passage, a short homily, a prayer, and an uplifting poem. I bought this book sight unseen for my wife, and am very glad that I did. The author is widely known and respected in Mennonite ...             Church Hymnal4 reviews S. F. Coffman Herald Press, 1999 Keeping an Old Favorite Up-to-Date In September of 2003 I wrote a very similar review of this *CHURCH HYMNAL* and filed it privately, to retain anyonymity, so as not to conflict with a study project I was working on. Since there is now no conflict-of-interest, I am now free to update information about this fascinating hymnal and freshen the review under my own name. Although the publisher, Herald Press, is part of the Mennonite ...             Lasting Marriage5 reviews Harvey Yoder Herald Press, 2007 The Perfect Gift As a therapist, I rate this book as excellent in communicating sound and fundamental issues for a successful marriage. I liked the readibility and the original concept of an owner's manual applied to marriage. I like that Yoder writes from a lifetime of experience as a family counselor, therapist, husband, pastor, father and grandfather. He is very comprehensive in covering life issues that ...             Against the Death Penalty: Christian and Secular Arguments Against Capital Punishment4 reviews Gardner C. Hanks Herald Press, 1997 An important book and resource that fills a needed niche Although there are several books available that detail facts, figures and stories on the death penalty, I found Gardner Hank's book to have the best organized and appropriately concise presentation of the arguments against the death penalty. In particular I think it is appropriate to divide the perspective on the issue into secular and nonsecular arguments. In particular for me, as an agnostic ...             Hidden rainbow,6 reviews Christmas Carol Kauffman Herald Press, 1957 Hidden Rainbow This fabulous book gives you a look into the life and struggles of a young Yugoslavian couple back in the turn of the century. It shows the strong ties families had to their religion as well as the persecution those who found and accepted Christ went through. As you read this suspensful page turning book, you can't help but smile and remember that God always keeps his promises to those who ...              search for books 1496-1561, against, anabaptists, arguments, breaking, centuries, christian, community, complete, cookbook, deafness, extending, favorite, fifteen, history, introduction, lasting, magazine, marriage, martyrdom, meditations, mennonite, mennonites, more-with-less, punishment, recipes, silence, tiegenhof, upside-down, writings books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
