Ira Wagler Knihy
Ira Wagler vyrastal v malej komunite Starého poriadku Amish v Aylmer, Ontario. V sedemnástich rokoch, frustrovaný pravidlami a obmedzeniami Amish života, Wagler zbalil svoje veci a odišiel. Počas nasledujúcich piatich rokov sa opakovane vracal domov aj odchádzal, rozpoltený medzi presvedčením, že opustenie Amish dedičstva vedie k večnému zatrateniu, a slobodou a možnosťami anglického sveta. Po svojom obrátení na kresťanstvo vo veku 26 rokov Wagler Amish definitívne opustil. Jeho literárne dielo zachytáva tieto vnútorné boje a cestu k osobnému oslobodeniu.
Ira Wagler was born in 1961, the ninth of a Canadian Amish couple's eleven children. At seventeen, in the dark of night, he left the religious settlement, but it was only nine years later that he finally left the church for good. His favorite Bible verse is from Psalm 34: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." In this new memoir, he tells what it was like growing up Old World Amish and what it felt like leaving it for a strange new world. Far more than picturesque; Growing Up Amish conveys one man's heartfelt experience.
