The Amish Community in Daviess County, Indiana – Book Review

“It is likely we English probably cannot understand the depth of bonds that are formed when children not only work side by side with their parents but live side by side after they grow up and get married. In addition it is routine to volunteer to work in other’s fields to share the heavy workload. Once when I was with a threshing crew, I followed the wagons to pick up the bundles of spelt… I couldn’t help but notice the boys who were working were having a wonderful time. They worked there all day and enjoyed the whole experience… The social fabric of the community is as strong as the work ethic fabric.”
