Review Quotes

Rich in history and issues of life, this Amish anthology collection is a winsome read! The settings from Germany to the Midwest and various states brought picturesque scenes along with detailed dialog and unique dealings the characters were faced with. The characters were dimensional with flaws but had fortitude, tenacity, spirit, and faith to overcome their challenges.
--Marilyn Ridgeway, Amish book reviewer

Each tale penned in the author's unique style gave way to emotions and seeing the struggles of life throughout history of the Amish and currently with misunderstandings of their practices. These men of Amish fiction know how to reel a reader into their story and keep them spellbound till the end, while weaving in romance and faith. Six talented authors (all men!) provide very enjoyable stories with just enough twists, turns, and romance to delight any Amish reader.
--Kate Lloyd, Bestselling Author

Amish fiction fans will love this set. These stories are as unique and individual as the men who wrote them. Apart from the enjoyment I got from reading, I learned something, was moved to laughter in some places, and to tears in others. An Amish book lover's delight.
--Samantha Price, USA Today Bestselling Author.

Ah, the joys of slowing down life's pace with a delightful collection of stories! The Amish Menorah and Other Stories is written for those of us who love to settle into a big, comfy chair with a good book. From the moment Patrick Craig opens with his tale of an Amish man and a Jewish girl thrown together in the last Amish community in Europe in 1936, each novella stirred up deep emotions. One after another the tales prompt insight into how multifaceted the human experience can be. Congratulations to Patrick E. Craig, Thomas Nye, Amos Wyse, Murray Pura, Willard Carpenter, and Jerry Eicher for pulling together a collection of delightful, entertaining stories!"
