Growing Up Amish

No, not a post of my stuff, just a link to a blog whose author wrote a book... and I think it should be interesting. Mom, are you going to get it? ;)

  1. Is this an offer like the other one where you get a free book if you generate a certain amount of hits for them? How do you get those offers - I would love to do something like that. I mean not for Amish books necessarily, I would be more interested in health books... or children's books. Let me know, anything free is always exciting!!!!!

  2. I checked it out, and now I'm wondering how I'm supposed to cut back on my computer time?!?!
    It was fascinating, at least the FIFTEEN MINUTES worth of material I read!

  3. @Miss-no, this is more like an unsolicited plug from me for his book. I've been following his blog for quite awhile now and he's a good writer.His book is due to be published soon and can now be pre-ordered at Amazon for less than full price. I often get asked about the Amish and thought it was a good opportunity for people wo are interested to get an accurate account of one person's experience. The other thing where I actually managed to win that encyclopedia was just a drawing- I didn't do anything except post the link. I knew about the contest because I follow (in Google Reader) the guy's blog. I guess you just have to find a site or 2 that you like and follow them and you might run into a contest! ;)
    @Susan- I like his style of writing although I wouldn't say I necessarily agree with everything he says. He posts about once evet 2 weeks. What he wries about Amish is always interesting.

  4. I read the first couple of chapters and found it quite interesting. It makes me want to read the rest of the book. Wonder if our library will be getting it. I prefer to use the library for books unless I'm going to read them over and over again.

  5. Mom ordered a bunch! Yay! Maybe you can borrow one of hers, Adina? ;) It will be a good book, I think. Not just a 'warm and fuzzy' take but the real live experience of someone.
