What I think you should know
The Amish Menorah and Other Stories is a compilation of Amish Short Stories by the following authors: Willard Carpenter, Patrick E. Craig, Jerry Eicher, Thomas Nye, Murray Pura and Amos Wyse.

What I think about this book:
This was a nice book of short stories by male authors. I enjoyed how each author used Amish as their base, but were able to bridge out into their own unrelated stories. They ranged from The American West in the late 1800 and Germany in WWII to modern day America. Each story was unique and held my attention. I enjoyed that most of the stories gave you a glimpse into the writing style of the author. I will definitely read more from these authors in the future.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Celebrate Lit, this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.

This is a group of Amish stories written by male authors. I enjoy each of these authors. Each story has some romance and a lot of inspiration. Each of these stories gives a slightly different view of the Amish people and their faith. I received a copy of this book from Celebratelit for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

The Amish Menorah is a compilation of stories written by six men. Each of the stories are short and easy to read in one setting. The stories have good messages written in them. The stories touch on the theme of having faith as well as giving insight into the Amish faith and history. I enjoyed reading of the Amish history in Germany and the background of the Jewish Menorah in The Amish Menorah. I especially liked the message in A Cloudy Day of believing in salvation as being more important that following religious beliefs. I enjoyed the understanding of some in the English community of how the Amish children are raised in The Silo. In Lone Star the reader see the belief of not using guns to settle disputes. And in Amish for the Summer, if only all young people could experience type of punishment for their crimes. The book contains the first two chapter of When Hearts Break along with the information the story is of abuse in the Amish community and the effects is has on two sister.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading these short stories. I enjoyed reading stories from a man's point of view. One of the things that stand out most to me in these stories is In The Silo how people outside the English community don't understand the Amish way of life. The neighbor jumped to a conclusion before getting to know the family.

I received an ebook copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. This is my honest review.

The Amish Menorah is a collection of short stories written by me. I think the first story about an Amish man and a Jewish woman along with the very last story in the collection about a privileged young woman who gets in trouble for vandalizing a cow on an Amish farm and then does community service on the farm.

A few of the stories in this collection I thought ended too abruptly for me. Yet others captured my heart, such as the story about the Amish family who winds up being charged with abuse based on observations of their non-Amish neighbors. The characters come to life in well written stories.

So if you like Amish fiction that deviates from the typical direction of Amish fiction, check out this collection for yourself.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.
