| What narratives have molded and nurtured us as Mennonites? What
new stories have the power to reshape and transform us? The 28
selected stories in this volume reveal something about who we are and
who we want to be. They illustrate core values characterizing us.
Here you can read about peacemaking Native Americans, pioneer life,
revolution in Russia, migration, optimistic David Toews, Annie Funk and
the Titanic, a near hanging in Kansas, Orie Miller,
dismantling racism, Emma Richards and Marilyn Miller, Peter Dyck,
Mesach Krisetya, a new search for Clayton Kratz, and more. As we
come from varied backgrounds and learn to cooperate, we need to pool
our stories. We draw together in heart and mind as w share events
marking our life and faith, stories of people God has used in
extraordinary ways. God has redeemed us from failures and endowed
us with a rich heritage of faithfulness. We can be agents of
transformation as God translates our rich legacy into a vibrant and
relevant witness. This book is sponsored by the Historical
