well i see the bees have been busy.
several authors of Amish fiction have roots in the Amish faith or the closely related Mennonite faith. i'll let you do your homework if you're interested.
i find the Amish of interest - they make beautiful quilts, are among true organic farmers, the canning the women do is commendable and at least in the books the woodworking of the men sounds intriguing and as quailty work as the women's quilts.
the books also show the true struggle between true God issues and those of men and the wisdom passed along through generations.
there are much more in Christian fiction than Amish reading. many authors address today's issues and interests, divorce, children with handicaps, breast cancer, theatre, drugs, and more.
the Bible speaks for itself.

oh it does.
about needing gifts to motivate me to read. no that is not a factor. i have always been a reader. i was describing our summer reading program and adult reading program and some of the benefits of participating. the summer program was particularly enjoyable as it encouraged readers to get out of their comfort zone into other genres and had a checklist of 10 different ways to do so.

Lots of priests, ministers, preachers and nuns would beg to differ. There's a large economic structure that is supported solely by the idea that it doesn't.

He does have that commanding voice.
I always imagine God sounding like James Mason, thanks to Eddie Izzard.
