Description To Books Amish Snow
Amish Snow provides a rare insight into Amish culture as it clashes with the American counter-culture of the late 60's. Deep faith clashes with religious persecution and personal identity. Rheinheimer weaves a tale of loss, of redemption, of the triumph of the human spirit, coming of age in a dangerous time. And in the face of evil that divides us, he clings firmly to the common bonds of human experience to show the truth that unites us.Details Books Toward Amish Snow

Amish Snow The BrotherhoodVol 1 Reversal of FortuneBy: Roger RheinheimerI found this to be a emotional read. Was nothing like other Amish stories I have read.

My views of the Amish culture have been transformed by reading this book. Especially interesting was the historical perspective of their cultural roots dating back to the reformation.I enjoyed this book for the knowledge it imparted as much as for the reading entertainment it provided. Thank you, Roger.
An interesting view into the world of Amish expatriation in the second half of the 20th century.
This is a very well-written and well-researched book. I will admit to having a hard time getting into it but then really wanted to know what was going to happen to Ezra as the book progressed. I was quite shocked by many things in the book as I did not realize how wild the Amish young people behave in their running around years. I also was shocked that the former-Amish are the ones supplying the young people with the drugs and alcohol. I was surprised that the Amish were treated with such
This little book really gave some insight into the lives of especially teenagers, and their journey to join the congregation or not. And the drug culture that prays on them as they decide.
