Hutterite Diaries

Wisdom from My Prairie Community

About this book

What would it be like to share all your possessions and live in Christian community? In Hutterite Diaries, Linda Maendel offers a rare glimpse into the daily routines and communal faith of her people, the Hutterian Brethren. From stories of working together to bring in the fall potato harvest to laugh-out-loud tales of sisterly love laced with revenge, Maendel invites readers into her Bruderhof, or colony, nestled on the prairie of western Canada. Here children and adults work, play, eat, and worship together, crafting a community of goods and living out an alternative to the individualism and consumerism of mainstream society.

Few outsiders know anything about the Hutterites, a Plain Christian group related to the Amish and Mennonites. Maendel’s story invites readers into deeper understanding of this community of faith, calling us to take seriously the example of Jesus and the early church in our daily living.

Hear straight from plain Christians as they write about their daily lives and deeply rooted faith in the Plainspoken series from Herald Press. Each book in the series includes “A Day in the Life of the Author” and the author’s answers to FAQs.

Plainspoken series—real-life stories of Amish and Mennonites includes:

 

Book 1—Chasing the Amish Dream: My Life as a Young Amish Bachelor by Loren Beachy

Book 2—Called to Be Amish: My Journey from Head Majorette to the Old Order by Marlene Miller

Book 3—Hutterite Diaries: Wisdom from My Prairie Community by Linda Maendel
