About The Book: Simple Pleasures: Stories from My Life as an Amish Mother (MennoMedia, March 2016). Young Amish homemaker Marianne Jantzi invites readers into her family's life on the snowy plains of Ontario. The
mother of four young children and wife of a storekeeper, Jantzi writes
about her daily routines and heartfelt faith with equal measures of wit
and warmth. Sewing, cleaning, cooking, gardening, and helping to manage
the store take up most hours in her day, but Jantzi finds time to pen
columns for the Connection, a magazine beloved by Amish and Mennonite
readers across the United States and Canada. Never sugarcoating the
frustrations of motherhood, Jantzi tells it like it is, broken washing
machine and bickering children and all. But through her busy days,
Jantzi finds strength in simple pleasures of family, fellowship with her
Amish community, and quiet time with God. Purchase a copy: http://bit.ly/1p0SQvJAbout The Author: Marianne Jantzi is an Amish writer and homemaker in Ontario, Canada.

My Thoughts On The Book: I have always had a fascination with Amish life and read a lot of Amish fiction. I asked to review this book because it was stories of an Amish mother and let me tell you, this book was spot on. It was a actual visual of what Amish life is like. Marianne Jantzi shares stories of her personal life as an Amish mother in an Amish community. Each detail of her book gives a vividly painted mental picture of simple pleasures found among the plain world. I loved it. The book reminded me of stories my grandmother would tell about her childhood. A true joy to read!
