We have seen them ride their horse and buggies throughout rural
America. Many remember their signature straw hat, or beards. I
am talking about the Amish community. We rarely get a good
glimpse into what life is like for the Amish outside of what TV
shows us. Usually the only time you even hear about the Amish is
when a tragedy strikes like the one in Pennsylvania a few years
back when a trucker opened fire at a children’s Amish school
where children were needlessly taken from this earth for no
apparent reason. Well our next guest knows the Amish community
very well. She did not study the Amish way of life, she lived it
for the first 26 years of her life. She and her family lived in
an Old Order Amish community in both Iowa and Missouri. She and
her husband left the Amish community and enter the modern world
and were instantly excommunicated from their Church, friends and
families. But they did find a way to now lead a Christ-centered
life. In fact 2 of her children are missionaries. The book we
will talk about today is titled “The Greater Inheritance.”
