Love, Life, & Laughter: The Amish in Essays and Stories is a collection of vignettes that capture the Amish (and the author) at their most human. In the words of Donald B. Kraybill, Ph.D., the eminent Amish expert who wrote the Foreword for this book, “I cherish Jim’s zest, candor, and wit. His humor bubbles out of the vignettes in this book. He has a knack for storytelling, a knack for catching the ironies of life that tickle us into laughing at our common humanity.”
