Additional Info
What narratives have molded and nurtured Mennonites? What stories have the power to reshape and transform? These 28 stories reveal Mennonites’ core values, who they are and want to be. The writers present an array of accounts: Peacemaking Native Americans, pioneer life, revolution in Russia, migration, optimistic David Toews, Annie Funk on the Titanic, a near hanging in Kansas, Orie Miller, dismantling racism, Emma Richards, Marilyn Miller, Mesach Krisetya, searching for Clayton Kratz, and more.

In this book Mennonites from varied backgrounds and experiences are pooling their stories. Ordinary people draw together in heart and mind, sharing events that mark their life and faith, and showing how God works in extraordinary ways.

God has redeemed the church and endowed it with a rich heritage of faithfulness. As agents of transformation, God’s people can translate this legacy into a vibrant witness.
