Synopsis

As a teenager, John D. Stoll sought refuge from worldly society and a troubled family by living in an Amish home for several years. He explains customs and asks, “What attracts outsiders to the Amish? What issues do seekers face in trying to join them? What can modern society learn from the Amish?” This is a rare tale by a person from the outside who lived as Amish, learned their German dialect, and even engaged in rocking-chair courtship. Stoll declares, “I’m moved by the spirit of grace and love shown by many of my Amish friends and in the biblical record of Jesus Christ. The certainty of specific doctrines escapes me, but I sense that the spirit of grace is still a possibility.” · · · “This spiritual and ethical odyssey of a modern American’s search for authority in his life echoes earlier American spiritual autobiographies and ranks with the best of them . . . as it portrays what makes the Amish world operate.” —Dr. Don Yoder, Dean of Pennsylvania Dutch Folklife Scholars
