I came across this interesting book entitled 20 Most Asked Questions About the Amish & Mennonites. First published in the late 1970’s, it deals with the most commonly asked questions, some of which I hear all the time, about Anabaptist-type groups such as the Amish, Mennonites, Hutterites, and so forth. I found it a fascinating read. As succinctly as possible this book tries to answer such questions as “What is the difference between Amish and Mennonites?”, “Are they a Christian group, or do they represent another religion?”. Even odd ones like “Is food a part of their religion?” is dealt with clearly and fairly honestly. I was impressed by the way the authors were able to handle some pretty detailed issues in such a short-and-to-the-point way. Also, the book is written by Christians as opposed to an “outside” look from a secular viewpoint the way so many of these types of books are written. I highly recommend it. You can buy it from Amazon.com by clicking on the linked title above.
