4.9/5 (10156 ratings)

Description:The book is a collection of observations and commentaries on the lives and homes of Amish-Mennonites the author visited during the course of his work. This book is primarily written in English but contains some German passages from works by Menno Simons. It was written circa 1907 by Amish-Mennonite who wished to remain anonymous—styling himself as "A Friend of Humanity"--and is available courtesy of a donation from the University of Chicago's microfilm archives (http://pi.lib.uchicago.edu/1001/cat/bib/1889240) in a variety of electronic formats via the Internet Archive (http://archive.org/details/MN5038ucmf_7).The book's introduction, written by S.D. Guengerich, has this to say about the book:"The author's vocation in life has led him into many different homes of all classes, and in some cases many times into the same home.Being a religiously-minded man and a close observer, he had a good chance to notice unbecoming traits in many of the different homes, which indeed seemed to him very much out of place and irreligious. Hence he directs his talks, first, and mainly, to the homes of the household of his own faith, with the hope and desire of arresting the attention of the inmates, and leading them to think, and to abandon unbecoming and useless habits, and to seek a more ideal moral and religious life. …Many Scripture references are given, and extracts from Martyrs' Mirror and Menno Simon's Complete Works, all of which give evidence that the author's main desire was to stimulate a deeper interest and zeal in humanity- to lead a more exemplary and pious life, as becometh a true Christian. The religious tone of the book is manifest throughout.Some of the plain talks of this book, to some readers, may seem to be sharp criticisms, but when viewed in the well-meaning spirit in which they were written, the reader will see that it is for his own good when our friends remind us of our faults and shortcomings."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
