I just Googled 'amish news' and it seems the Amish are getting some polarized coverage these days. If they're not being lauded as an example of how we should all be more forgiving, they are under fire as heartless puppy abusers. What's the real deal? Besides stating the obvious that we should look at the

There is something so appealing about the way the Amish live. Their simplicity, their family values, their work ethics to name a few.
Although we live in a fast-paced world, dependent on technology, we CAN slow things down, down-size, simplify and practice the "spirit of frugality." That is the premise of the book "What the Amish Can Teach Us About the Simple Life" by Georgia Varozza. The author uses the Amish community as a model for living a personally satisfying existence in the midst of a noisy, hectic society. The Amish life is centered in family and faith and is characterized by structure, tradition, quietness, industry, and an unhurried pace--very different from the lifestyle most of us live. Varozza offers a comprehensive list of practical suggestions for taking control of your life--from a plethora of ideas for family time, to making your own household cleaning products, composting and gardening, and raising cows, chickens or goats. Don't let city life deter you, either. It is not illegal or impossible to raise goats in many U.S. cities! And did you know that you can freeze eggs? The author shares that tidbit of wisdom among many others that will enhance your life if you are willing to expend a little effort. What do you get from simplifying your life? Varozza states, "We are increasingly living unexamined lives as we jump from one thought to the next with the click of a mouse." If you recall, the philosopher Socrates is quoted as saying that "the unexamined life is not worth living!" Our spirit, that elusive essence that makes us who we are, is nourished by taking time to practice the "spirit of frugality." Take some time and peruse this lovely little book; it is never too late to incorporate positive changes.
Fewer than one hundred outsiders have joined the Amish since 1950--and stayed. Marlene Miller is one of them. In this memoir, Miller recounts her unhappy and abusive childhood, how she threw herself into cheerleading and marching band, and how she falls in love with the gentle young Amish man who helps lace her ice skates. In Called to Be Amish, you'll follow the author on her unusual journey. Turning Amish wasn't always an easy path for Miller. Following a series of personal tragedies and the strain of farm life, she came close to walking away from it all, yet nearly fifty years later, she's still living out God's call as an Old Order Amish woman.
