Isaac R. Horst, an Old Order Mennonite, explains the customs, beliefs, and culture of his people in Ontario-in English and in Pennsylvania German, on facing pages. How do these people function? How can they be happy while living austere lives? Horst presents his community through the story of a typical boy. Menno Martin grows through childhood at home, on the farm, and in school. He attends Sunday services, youth singings, and instruction classes, and he is baptized. Menno farms, courts and marries Grace, and goes through the lot to be a preacher. Join the excitement of a barn raising: "All together! Ready? Yo heave!" Eavesdrop as Grace describes a quilting to Menno. Get a taste of butchering day. Learn what it is like to experience full submission and peace with God's people. This book includes black-and-white drawings illustrating a typical farm home, arrangements for a wedding, a Mennonite meetinghouse, a barn raising, buggies and clothing details. There is also a glossary of typical Mennonite terms. Copyright 2001. Second Edition. | |
