Becoming Amish: A family's search for faith, community and purposeBill and Tricia Moser were living in one of America's wealthiest communities when they stepped away and began a journey that led to a horse and buggy Amish life. No more BMWs. No more architectural or medical careers. Instead, the Mosers drew close with their children, built pallets for money, wore homemade clothes, and bonded with people of their Amish faith and community.

Bill and Tricia Moser were living in one of America's wealthiest communities when they stepped away and began a journey that led to a horse-and-buggy Amish life.

No more BMWs. No more architectural or medical careers. Instead, the Mosers drew close with their children, built pallets for money, wore homemade clothes, and bonded with people of their Amish faith and community. Here, in Becoming Amish, they offer a modern couple's honest perspective on that separate and seemingly cloistered world, a perspective that is uniquely insider and outsider at the same time.

The Mosers' journey is rich and fascinating all on its own as we learn about the inner workings of the Amish faith, ways and culture--what their church services are like, how their businesses succeed at such a high rate, how they are so remarkably connected on a human scale (without Facebook ), how they balance technology in their lives, and more.

But though the couple's decision can seem extreme, it can also serve as a mirror that helps us reflect upon our own choices, our own beliefs and values. If we were to be as intentional about our lives, how would we realign our choices big and small to achieve a fulfilling life?

Becoming Amish rounds out the Mosers' tale with interviews, vignettes, and information that adds context, perspective and insight into the Amish community. The reader learns of a startlingly violent book--published in 1660--that is central to this pacifist people's belief and is in nearly every Amish home. The reader visits a "plain" community in the hills of Kentucky--a community that lives even more simply than most Amish--to discuss "the whys" of a low-technology life and faith. The reader contemplates an interview with the Lutheran minister who helped lead the Supreme Court case back in 1972 that allowed the Amish to pull their children from public school after 8th grade--what compelled him to do that?

One of the best indestructible dog toys we've bought
Color: 5pack, Size: Large
So we adopted a pup in December and she tears up everything! I mean, Everything! My CPAP, garden hoses, trucks seat belt and backup camera wiring. Every single dog toy with stuffing, dismantle them in minutes. So many dog toys say they are are tear proof. nope! We have tons of stuffing all over our 5 acres. Hen m wife bought these. Beside the bones she bought, these are the only things she can't seem to destroy and she loves them!!!!

BEST Dog Toys EVER! JRT approved
Color: 5pack, Size: Large
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 for these toys! We have terriers who have NEVER met a toy they couldn't destroy... until now. We've had them over a week an all 5 are still intact, crinkly, and squeakers squeaking - and they're played with constantly! When I tell you I've never, in all my years of JRT ownership and rescue, had a toy last 24 hours, much less a WEEK? Well, lots of you will know how astonishing that is! We've currently got 5 dogs (2 fosters, anyone looking for a project?) so the package size is perfect. Get 'em.
