    This book helped me at a time when my world is anything but peaceful. At first I was speed reading to finish it, then I realized I needed to take my time and soak it in. It helped me to calm my soul and spirit and just slow down and think about more spiritual things and draw closer to God and let him calm my storm I was in. I have read other books she has written and they have always been good. Take your time reading this book and share it with others as I have. It will be a blessing to you and you can bless others this way!

    Amish Peace by Suzanne Woods Fisher is a fascinating look at the source of the title. Fisher, who comes from an Anabaptist tradition called Dunkards, delves deeply into the day-to-day life of the Amish. With their focus on God and family, they have a better understanding of what it means to live the way God intends and the peace that pervades every aspect of their life emphasizes this. Each short chapter gives insight into one aspect of their lives: respect for elders, working as a community, or church services. The Amish have a different way of looking at life: one woman gave up her painting for a time when she feared that it was overwhelming her love for God. Families with Alzheimer's patients or disabled children don't institutionalize their loved ones, but devote their lives to caring for them. Whether you have an slight interest in the Amish or a fascination to know more about their way of life, this book will definitely satisfy.

    Peace. Does anyone really have true peace? The Amish seem to have it, but is it peace or just a lack of things? I was curious to read this book and see what Suzanne found out in her research, visits and interviews with the Amish. What I didn't expect was the peace I would get just from reading the book. I'm not a huge non-fiction fan just because it usually takes me a lot longer to read non-fiction than it does to read fiction. Suzanne has such a captivating writing style, short chapters and wonderful people to write about that I just zipped right through this book. At the end of each chapter she has a little section "Reflections on..." and a "Plain Living" box that both give you things to think about and how what was discussed in that chapter may or may not relate to your life.This book would be such a blessing to any fan of Wanda Brunstetter, Beverly Lewis, Beth Wiseman or Shelley Shepherd Gray. It will give the reader a deeper insight into the culture they have loved reading about and may just give them a deeper insight into how to obtain more peace in their own life.

    Our culture in recent years has become increasingly fascinated by the Amish lifestyle. It is not difficult to figure why this is so. Our society is so hurried and rushed and technology seems to dictate our lives. Don't get me wrong, technology is a wonderful thing, but I think more and more Americans want to slow down and take in the simpler things in life.

    Amish Peace is just the book to help us learn from the Amish and learn to slow down and appreciate the simple things. This book is a lot more in depth than I was expecting. I am really impressed with the up close and personal look inside the world of the Amish that Suzanne Woods Fisher gives the reader. There is a lot of practical information in this book and the reflection questions at the end of each chapter help the reader apply a little Amish wisdom to their lives.

    The title of this book says it all. If you want to read a peaceful, relaxing book, and actually learn something, I recommend Amish Peace. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I hope you read and enjoy this book and that it gives you some peace from this hectic world we live in.

    This book moved me deeply. It is incredible how the Amish people truly live the tenets of their faith in modern day society. The vignettes are beautifully set up. Questions at the end of each vignette are helpful in applying the topic to our lifestyle. It is broken down into five themes. The part on Community and Forgiveness moved me deeply. This is a unique book with examples of living out our faith in the world. I highly recommend it.
