Purchase options and add-ons

The leadership in an Old Order Amish community requires shunning friends and family whose only offense is to embrace the new Protestant practice of Sunday school among the Mennonites, but teaching Bible stories to children is one of Clara Kuhns’ great joys. Clara’s on the verge of saying yes to Andrew Raber’s marriage proposal, but now he is flagrantly refusing to submit to the bishop’s authority by owning a car. When the lot falls to Moses Beachy to become the new bishop, the community waits for him to take bold steps toward change. Clara and Andrew step together into a more progressive Amish faith as the Beachy Amish take form.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Newport writes her Amish books with style and grace. Meek and Mild is a well written novel with characters who are sweet, caring, and determined to follow what they believe is the best for them, not necessarily what the bishop wants. This is a lovely tale of attempting to reconcile one's desires with one's faith. -- Patsy Glans ― RT Book Reviews Published On: 2015-02-01

Book Description

This was a very interesting story with varied and in-depth characters. It gave some historical information that answered some questions for me. I like this author's style of writing.

An Interesting Read on a Historical Period in the Amish Church

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2016

I live in the community Olivia Newport writes about in this book. My paternal grandfather, Mose Beachy, was the bishop of the Old Order Amish church at the time of the 1927 split, and I read the book because I wanted to see how well Newport had researched the facts and how accurately she would describe my grandfather and the whole era and area. Newport did her research well when it comes to facts, beginning with the earlier 1895 split and the unrest that began long before the second split, which was primarily about shunning. She includes not only the exemplary behavior of the bishop, but the disruptive behavior of the Yoder ministers. I was surprised and a bit pleased that she used actual names for my grandfather and the two Yoder ministers, and a bit jarred by a number of the last names Newport uses for her totally fictional characters, good Amish names in other communities, but unknown in Somerset County. Newport also collapses a considerable amount of time at the end, and I would have liked a bit more continuity. Her characters were believable.

Intelligent, interesting, fast moving, great characters...What more could I ask for in a story? This is a terrific book and I hated to come to the end! I fell in love with the people in this book. I can't wait for the next one in the series.

I liked this story and it was well written. It points out in the story that not to make decisions rashly. To seek God's will in all things. I liked the way the point was played out in this book.

an ok book, though very slow. I was lost between book one and two...
Think I need to read other books, these take me forever to read, nothing exciting to move on and keep reading.
