Amish Peace Recipe Card

LET THE SIMPLICITY OF THE AMISH
DRAW YOU CLOSER TO GOD
In this instantly connected world, it’s
surprisingly easy to lose our connection
to God.
What’s admirable about the Amish lifestyle
is that it intentionally slows the pace of
life so there’s an opportunity to see the
everyday grandeur of our great God.
Not everyone can—or should—adopt an
Amish lifestyle. But the Amish can inspire
all of us to slow down and simplify our
lives. We need to learn to let go of our
glittering gadgets in order to grab hold
of something of infinitely greater
value—the Divine.
The One Year Book of Amish Peace will
inspire you to set a sustainable pace of life
so that you, too, can take the time to enjoy
God’s gifts each and every day.

¾ cup sugar
1½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 yeast cake/package of dry yeast
7 cups flour
¹⁄ ³ cup lard
powdered sugar
Bring milk and lard (shortening can also be
