My Amish Childhood By Jerry Eicher GIVEAWAY!


Bestselling fiction author Jerry S. Eicher (nearly half a million books sold) turns his pen to a moving memoir of his life growing up Amish.
Jerry's mother was nineteen years old and nine months married when he was born. She had received Grandfather Stoll's permission for the wedding because she agreed to help out on the farm the following year. However, with Jerry on the way, those plans failed.
Jerry recounts his first two years of school in the Amish community of Aylmer, Ontario and his parents' decision to move to Honduras.  Life in that beautiful Central American country is seen through an Amish boy's eyes--and then the dark days when the community failed and the family returned to America, much to young Jerry's regret. Jerry also tells of his struggle as a stutterer and his eventual conversion to Christ and the reasons for his departure from the childhood faith he knew.
Here is a must-read for not just Jerry's fiction fans, but also for readers curious about Amish life.
 
Pick your copy



Jerry Eicher's bestselling Amish fiction (more than 450,000 in combined sales) includes The Adams County Trilogy, the Hannah's Heart books, and the Little Valley Series. After a traditional Amish childhood, Jerry taught for two terms in Amish and Mennonite schools in Ohio and Illinois. Since then he's been involved in church renewal, preaching, and teaching Bible studies. Jerry lives with his wife, Tina, and their four children in Virginia.
 

This is a autobiography like no other.  WoW can Jerry tell a story!
I love how touching and honest his story is and did I mention that there is some humor in it also.
You do NOT want to miss this book by Jerry!
Of course it was a 5 star book!
 
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher

  12. This book will be a very interesting and different look at Amish life. It will be good to read an autobiography from Jerry that is based on fact not like those portrayed on TV. I look forward to reading this book.
