Amish Peace: Simple Wisdom for a Complicated World
Capture the Simple Peace of the Amish in Your Own Life
You don’t have to become Amish to make personal peace a reality. Organized around five central themes in Amish life, Amish Peace shows you how you can cultivate a simple life of love, gratitude, and faith in the midst of a very complicated world. It includes real-life stories and examples of Plain People, Amish proverbs, and fascinating facts about Amish communities. Each section also contains questions for reflection and action, outlining things you can do in your own life that “make for peace.”
I have always been facinated by the Amish and the peace that they seem to have. This book was an amazing read full of real life stories and lessons. Each section is broken down into different parts, such as:
Simplicity
Time
Community
Forgiveness
and the Sovereignty of God
After each story there is a small reflections on time where they talk about the story and then give you questions to think about which I really loved because it made me pounder more on the story and how I could make my life more simple and at peace.
They also have a section after the story that is called plain living that compares our world to the plain living world of the Amish.
The whole book is about living simple and how you can do little things to live simplier in your life.
Suzanne makes me feel like I really could live part of the Amish Life.
If you are wanting to relax and unwind and just try to live a little simplier in this complicated world then I would suggest Amish Living.
