Here's part of the content - you would like to know it all? Delve into this book today .....: The history of the Amish church began with a schism in Switzerland within a group of Swiss and Alsatian Anabaptists in 1693 led by Jakob Ammann.

...This type of strict literalism, on this issue, as well as others, brought about a division among the Mennonites of Southern Germany, the Alsace and Switzerland in 1693, and led to withdrawal of those who sided with Ammann.

... Two key concepts for understanding Amish practices are their rejection of Hochmut (pride, arrogance, haughtiness) and the high value they place on Demut (humility) and Gelassenheit (calmness, composure, placidity), often translated as submission or letting-be.

... Although the English language is being used in more and more situations, Pennsylvania Dutch is one of a handful of minority languages in the United States that is neither endangered nor supported by continual arrivals of immigrants.

There is absolutely nothing that isn't thoroughly covered in the book. It is straightforward, and does an excellent job of explaining all about Amish in key topics and material. There is no reason to invest in any other materials to learn about Amish. You'll understand it all.
