Introduction The prayers in this book are about living simply for God. They spring from the words and wisdom of the Amish, Hutterites, and Mennonites—Christian communities committed to living quietly and peaceably as they seek to follow Jesus. To this day, some of them live and work in a style close to that of the sixteenth century, on simple farmsteads surrounded by abundant vegetable gardens, traveling by horse and buggy to market and to church. They quietly give any surplus to help one another and to help the needy all around the world. Their simple and homespun wisdom is a treasure for everyday living. Beautiful words And useful too; Words of godliness, Words that are true.
