Jacob's Choice

<p>&ldquo;In this evocative and gripping story, Ervin Stutzman details the love, the loss, and restoration of Jacob as fervently as Jacob pursued his own rebirth from the ashes of a terrible past. All of this occurs within the stunningly depicted confines of Amish life and history.&rdquo;</p> ~Sherry Gore, Reviews

<p>&ldquo;Ervin Stutzman&rsquo;s intimately imaginative entr&eacute;e into the most famous Amish experience in colonial America is woven around documented historical and geographical data. <i>Jacob&rsquo;s Choice</i> will confront readers with equally inescapable choices of our own.&rdquo;</p> ~John Ruth, Reviews

<p>&ldquo;Using historical facts and a vivid imagination, Ervin Stutzman does a beautiful narration of nonresistant Amish life.&rdquo;</p> ~Sam Stoltzfus, Reviews

<p>&ldquo;This novel of Amish life in eighteenth-century Pennsylvania allows us to imagine the joys, tears, doubts, and religious devotion of the earliest Amish immigrants. In retelling the story of the Hochstetler massacre, Stutzman reminds us that the family was real and that their sacrifice was both a human tragedy and a triumph of faith.&rdquo;</p> ~Karen Johnson-Weiner, Reviews

<p>&ldquo;Stutzman&rsquo;s keen knowledge of time and place brings to life the Hochstetler family&rsquo;s testing through the Indian attack and captivity and their commitment to Anabaptist values. Nonresistance, forgiveness&mdash;and romance&mdash;are just some of the choices this most widely known family in the original pioneer Amish settlement must make.&rdquo;</p> ~Daniel Hochstetler, Reviews
