This book has been a nice pick up and read here and there book. Good, interesting, inspiring words. Love the lay out with a Amish-style picture on almost every double page spread. The book is divided into themes or chapters. You'll find words of wisdom about Time, Money, Faith, Children & Family, Words & Deeds, Work, Adversity, Education, Community, Character and Just some Fun Wisdom. Each chapter starts with a short little inspirational story about the theme and then you have about a 5 - 2 page spread with a picture on one page and three or four nuggets of wisdom on the other.

Here's a few sample pages of the book:




This is a very lovely book. Nice size about the size of a CD case. An inch or so in depth. It is a nice little gift book for those that you wouldn't know what to get them or those that have everything. Put is in a gift basket with some other goodies, the receiver will love it. Find out how you can win a copy below.

Through firsthand research and personal relationships, Suzanne Woods Fisher has collected more than 200 proverbs that uncover the rich heritage, folklore, faith, values, history, and essence of the Plain People. These proverbs serve as teaching tools and maxims for practical living--but they're not just for the Amish. They're for anyone who seeks God's wisdom and truth for everyday circumstances.

Ranging from the simple to the profound, from the serious to the humorous, these sayings will stick with you through life's joys and sorrows. With beautiful full-color photos throughout, Amish Proverbs is the perfect gift for any occasion.

Suzanne Woods Fisher is the CBA bestselling author of The Choice, The Waiting, Amish Peace, and Amish Proverbs. Her interest in the Anabaptist cultures can be directly traced to her grandfather, W. D. Benedict, who was raised in the Old Order German Baptist Brethren Church in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Benedict eventually became publisher of Christianity Today magazine. Suzanne is the host of a radio show called Amish Wisdom and her work has appeared in many magazines. She lives in California. Find out more about Suzanne at www.suzannewoodsfisher.com
