Land, Piety, Peoplehood
by Richard K. MacMaster
paper, 344 pages, $19.95
Richard K. MacMaster follows the Mennonite migration to the New World and analyzes the ecomonic, social, political, and religious forces which drove these people out of the Old World into America. Mac Master paints a portrait of the lives of the early American Mennonite people: Their wealth, migration patterns, social structures, family patterns, and changing attitudes toward education. He traces the influence of such movements as Pietism on these people and shows how they fit into the total context of colonial and revolutionary America. Volume 1.

Mennonites in American Society, 1930-1970
by Paul Toews
paper, 448 pages, $19.95
This volume provides a rich interpretive story of how Mennonites have preserved their identity through the 20th century.

Paul Toews examines ways progressive Mennonites have slowed their absorption into American culture through creating institutional systems, refining and rearticulating ideologies, building ecumenical alliances, and developing a service and missional activism. Meanwhile, the Amish have formed a creative set of adaptive strategies that permit economic integration and social isolation.

An in-depth look at how Mennonites nad Amish were able to become a more visible and respected people than ever before during their more than 300 years in America. Volume 4.

Missions
The Amish are widely known and appreciated for their quiet industry, their religious devotion, and their unique culture, but they have rarely produced stories of cross-cultural missionaries. Until now, that is. Miss Nancy is the inspiring and fascinating story of God's work in the life on one Amish missionary to Belize. As a result of her years of selfless service to the small Central American nation, Miss Nancy Coblentz is known and loved by thousands, from street waifs to statement, from paupers to a prime minister. Whether in drudgery, danger, or success, Miss Nancy's dauntless faith and devotion have inspired and challenged countless people. Her story is both entertaining and edifying. As you read it, you will be amazed at the God who uses ordinary people to produce extraordinary results.

This album represents a sampling of folk and hymn tunes Amish enjoy on the harmonica. They probably were first learned in school from non-Amish teachers before Amish established their own schools in the 1950's. Tunes on this recording have slight variations, a legacy from the persecution of the past centuries.

The harmonica is played by a young wife and mother. She played these songs as a teenager when she was "running around" with the young people at singings. The harmonica is the same one she used as a teenager, with no half steps. She now lives in a more liberal community where recording is permitted if done anonymously.

Lancaster County
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania hosts the oldest Amish community in North America. When most people think of the Amish, it is the Lancaster County settlement with their grey buggies that comes to mind.

But in other Pennsylvania Amish settlements buggies can be black, white or even yellow. The religious paths these Amish communities travel can be strikingly diverse. What emerges is a mosaic of Amish life and practice quite different from the common Amish stereotype.

Finacial pressures have forced the majority of the Amish to forsake farming for more lucrative business enterprises. Business owners tend to adopt technology more rapidly than farmers, leading to a mini- industrial revolution. Amish-style Buggies, once built of wood, now are often built of fiberglass. With more adults working in industries, family dynamics are beginning to change.

Buller's camera captures the changes sweeping across the Amish landscape. His interviews with authors/professors/researches Donald B Kraybill and Steven M Nolt provide uncommon insight into the Amish mindset.

Experience Amish farm life, family life, business enterprises, childhood, school, worship, horse cultures, business practices, barn raising, rumspringa (running around), Florida vacations, women's roles and more. Includes Amish response to Nickel Mines tragedy.
