"Amish Peace", by Suzanne Woods Fisher

If you like reading Amish fiction or like learning about the Amish culture, you'll definitely enjoy this book.  Suzanne Woods Fisher takes five basic categories of the Amish lifestyle and uses examples from real life Amish as to how each category is played out in their lives.  She then brings the simple wisdom learned from each experience into a personal application for her reader to take away, based on the truths from God's Word.

I really enjoyed reading this book - it was a good reminder of how the simple things in life can be some of life's biggest blessings.  It was also a reminder to simplify my life - to squeeze out the things that don't matter and focus on the stuff that is really important.

I enjoyed Fisher's style of writing - the short stories followed by an application.  It made the book easy to read and easy to come back to after a time away from it.  Fisher has a way of making each story touch your heart and take to heart the message it brings.
