You might be one of those people who think of the Amish as a simple, peculiar people who choose to live without modern technology and abide by a 19th Century lifestyle. A new book, What the Amish Can Teach Us in so-many words advises don’t underestimate the Amish and possibly learn from them.
The book also answers questions the “English” have about Amish like why don’t Amish own or drive cars but do ride as passengers when someone else is operating the vehicle or why there aren’t telephones in Amish homes but some Amish use mobile phones?
Renowned Amish expert Donald Kraybill, the author of What the Amish Can Teach Us and Senior Fellow Emeritus, Young Center at Elizabethtown College is on Monday’s Smart Talk to discuss the book.
