For readers who long for strong families that know how to truly enjoy life together, there is much to learn from the Amish. Values like community, forgiveness, simple living, obedience, and more can be your family legacy--without selling your car, changing your wardrobe, or moving out to farm country.

In Amish Values for Your Family, bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher shows how you can adopt the wisdom of the Amish when it comes to family matters. In this inspiring and practical book readers will find charming true stories interlaced with solid, biblical advice about parenting, marriage, and all aspects of family life. As readers get an intimate glimpse into the everyday lives of real Amish families, they will learn to prioritize what's truly important, simplify decision-making, slow down as a family, safeguard time together, and let go when the time comes.

I love learning about the Amish, so I was thrilled to get the chance to review this book! I loved how each chapter was short and contained one lesson, so it could be read as a daily devotional if desired. Each chapter contained a story with the lesson, a review with a few questions, and some random quotes from readers. I loved each lesson, but I especially loved the ones that focused on spending quality times with others, whether it was family or friends. While I do often spend time with my friends, I tend to neglect my family, and I focus way too much on myself at times.
