| Originally written in German, printed and published in Paraguay, South America in 2007, This English version, translated by Erwin Boschmann, has expanded text and pictures. A major economic metamorphosis happened in the Paraguayan Chaco beginning in the 1960's. It followed thirty years of hardship and little progress for Mennonite immigrants from Canada and Mennonite refugees from Russia. The effort to settle an indigenous population greater than the Mennonite population in the succeeding thirty years makes this a curious event in world history. In 1951 William T. Snyder, Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Associate Executive Secretary, recruited a Mennonite couple graduating that year from Bethel College in Kansas, to manage a joint venture experimental farm in Fernheim Colony, Paraguay. It almost didn't work out. The Unruhs tried to disconnect from MCC after their first five year term expired, the working environment and living conditions so difficult; the Chaco was known as a 'Green Hell.' But they were moved to return and spent their working lives in the Chaco, 32 years altogether until illness intervened, along the way endearing themselves to the Mennonite settlers and to the native Indians. Given the human yearning for precise explanations and an authoritative point of origin, the reader is taken by surprise encountering restraint, gentleness and straightforward reasoning in this gradual and complex evolutionary development. Leadership spontaneously rises to the occasion in a prosaic manner; scrupulously methodical, patient, nonassertive and nonjudgmental. This self-effacing style gave few persons in North America a clue-as it was happening-that the depth of the Unruh's imprint on Mennonite ethnicity in Paraguay might be significant or lasting.

More-with-less
| In 1980, before living simply and "green" became trendy and popular, Doris Janzen Longacre wrote Living More with Less, a practical guide for living in simple, sustainable, and healthy ways--ways that keep the future of the planet and all it's inhabitants in mind. Thirty years later, the 30th anniversary edition is being released as a way to celebrate and honor Longacre's foresight and vision, and to pass on her vision for simple and sustainable living to a new generation. with both classic and updated stories and tis about living simply and sustainably in areas such as money, clothing, cooking, eating, homes, transportation and travel, celebrations, recreation, and more, Living More with Less: 30th Anniversary Edition is just as relevant today as it was 30 years ago--it may, in fact, be even more important, considering the pressing issues facing people and the planet today.
