I have read many Amish fiction books, and I enjoy escaping to a place where life seems calmer, more family-centered, and people are honest and hard-working. In April, my husband and I visited Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and spent the day touring and learning more about the Amish lifestyle. Although I know I would never be able to adhere to the Amish way of life, I do believe that all of us would benefit from incorporating some of their attitudes into our busy schedules. In her new gift book, Amish Proverbs: Words of Wisdom from the Simple Life
Suzanne Woods Fisher’s interest in the Amish community stems from her own family heritage. Her grandfather, W. D. Benedict, was raised in the Old Order German Baptist Brethren Church in Franklin County, Pennsylvania (Benedict eventually became publisher of Christianity Today). It is fitting that the sayings in Amish Proverbs
While the proverbs are the focus of the book, the many photographs are a beautiful addition. After visiting an Amish community myself, I can say that the pictures wonderfully reflect the Amish lifestyle and enhance the messages of the proverbs as well. This book would make a wonderful gift for any fan of Amish fiction or anyone interested in a simple, godly lifestyle.
I am happy to say that we have a copy of Amish Proverbs: Words of Wisdom from the Simple Life

Lauren is a wife, mother of two, and an avid reader. She blogs at Baseballs and Bows. Lauren doesn’t think she could live the Amish lifestyle all the time, but she sure would enjoy the food! Thanks to Litfuse Publishing for providing the review copy of this book.
There are some Amish families around here; I’ve become friends with one lady and her children. They are so sweet and friendly. Honestly, there are other townspeople here that haven’t been so friendly to us.
That sounds like a delightful book! I always enjoy books of proverbs, maxims, and quotes.
You won Amish Proverbs! Please respond to this email with your address, and I will have the book sent to you.
Thanks,
Lauren
I would love to have the chance to win this book.

Visited the Amish in PA with my Mom one summer… It was a lovely trip and a great memory of a time spent with my Mom, thanks.
We love visiting the Amish Country often. I think this book would make for a wonderful read. Beautiful!
I have been fascinated by the Amish in my lifetime. In 8th grade I wrote an A+ paper about them 🙂 And I’ve read Amish fiction and watched films. Oh, the wisdom of simplicity. How I long for thee!
thanks for the opportunity to read this book 🙂
I would love a chance to win this!

This looks intriguing! Please enter me, too.
I would love to have this book! We have a small Amish community across the lake from us. We love to go there for lunch and visit with the friendly people.
This looks like a great book. My favorite family proverb is do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
sounds like a beautiful book!
Amish books interest me, also. I’ve recently enjoyed Amish Women by Louise Stoltzfus and The Amish of Lancaster County by Donald B. Kraybill.
I have heard a lot about this book. And I need words of wisdom. Thank you!
Hi Lauren!
