Rumspringa, an Old Order Amish tradition, gives teenagers (age 16 and over) the opportunity to leave their agricultural roots and become part of the ?English? world. The book follows a number of families as their sheltered children walk out the door to an unsupervised life filled with worldly temptations. It is the community?s hope that following their months-to-years of Rumspringa (?running around?), the adolescents will return and commit their lives to being Amish - and 80-90% of them do. This fascinating and easy-to-read study reminds us to appreciate our ?English? opportunities but to also be aware of what the Amish know ? that true happiness and contentment comes from the pursuit of purposes larger than our own.
