Summary
The Amish, one of America's most intriguingly private, unique, and often misunderstood religious communities, have survived for 300 years! How has that happened? While much has been written on the Amish, little has been revealed about their history. This book brings together in one volume a thorough history of the Amish people. From their beginnings in Europe through their settlement in North America, the Amish have struggled to maintain their beliefs and traditions in often hostile settings.
Now updated, the book gives an in-depth look at how the modern Amish church continues to grow and change. It covers recent developments in new Amish settlements, the community's conflict and negotiation with government, the Nickel Mines school shooting, and the media's constant fascination with this religious people, from reality TV shows to romance novels. Authoritative, thorough, and interestingly written, A History of the Amish presents the deep and rich heritage of the Amish people with updated statistics.

It’s ok
Narrator cannot pronounce German words correctly.
The book is quite in depth to the point of being heavy and confusing, the author doesn’t carry on with the era or years me ruined but goes back and forth

Interesting
Very detailed history, enjoyed listening to and learning a lot about Amish people. Worth listening to if you’re interested in culture and history.

Surprisingly interesting!
I started listening to this randomly as it was included with Audible Plus. It’s so different from the types of books I usually read but I was strangely captivated by the history of a branch of Christianity that is unfamiliar to me and culturally very different to my experience. It’s not something I’d recommend to everyone! It’s a fairly dry history book but if you have any interest in church history generally or how the Amish way of life came to be then it might be worth a listen.
