*Becoming Amish* by Jeff Smith. This is an excellent book about an upper-middle class couple in Michigan and their long-standing involvement with the Old Order Amish.
I have read many books and articles on Amish topics, but I gained some new insights from this book.

Having read other of his books first, I was disappointed with "Common Sense", which seemed to lack some of that in it's conception and expression. You will like, "Will the real heretics please stand up", I think.Wade wrote:Just finished this now too. This is, I believe, is a helpful book. I am thinking better of Bercot's books now and look forward to reading more.MaxPC wrote:Bercot's Common Sense: A New Approach to Understanding Scripture.
Common Sense helped me realize he is more focused on a particular audience. And since I was raised without being taught about scripture or God I realized I wasn't really part of his audience. Not that the unchurched don't come without biases but preconceived notions can be close to none on what scripture is saying when you have never heard it.
I believe this will be helpful in relating to those raised with religious biases. (Not to imply it is better to be raised without God at all...!)
When I finished reading it, I looked at my wife and said, "I am finished with Common Sense."
Now started reading: Will the Real Heretics Please Stand up.

Which one? Are you aware that most scholars now agree that it is actually a composition of 3 different authors in 3 different time periods???Neto wrote:Isaiah.
I dare say you didn't see that one coming when you made your comment...

No, I didn't expect that on this discussion board. (So far, I am not convinced, so I'm taking about the complete book.)gcdonner wrote:Which one? Are you aware that most scholars now agree that it is actually a composition of 3 different authors in 3 different time periods???Neto wrote:Isaiah.
