Description
Welcome to an Amish home. It’s rare for
outsiders to see inside the homes of Old Order Amish people, who live their
Christian faith in community, simplicity, and humility. An Amish family in the
Midwest gives us a glimpse into the intimate spaces where their family life
unfolds. Patterns of work, play, fellowship, and worship become visible, and
the warmth and light of the rooms bear witness to their love for God and for
each other. Come in!
