This is a very interesting and informative book about the Amish way of life. Wittmer focuses on the factual and positive aspects of the Amish. He does not debate any of the negatives. The only fault I found with the book is that it gets to be repetitive. There are several typos also. A good editor could have fixed that problem. The book appears to be self-published. (
