About the Book

Two friends from different worlds--one Old Order Amish, one "Englischer"--share the truths that bring them together. Best-selling novelist Cindy Woodsmall might seem to have little in common with Miriam Flaud, a woman immersed in the culture of Old Order Amish. But with nine children and almost 60 years of marriage between them, Cindy and Miriam both have found the secrets to facing life with strength and grace. Whether enduring financial setbacks, celebrating new babies and times of prosperity, grieving the crushing losses in the deaths of family and friends, or facing disappointments with their respective communities--through it all they find guidance for each day by looking to God. With poignant recollections, unexpected insights, and humorous tales, the two women welcome you into their unique friendship. You'll also gain a rare glimpse into the traditions and ways of the Amish as Miriam recalls special occasions and shares family recipes throughout the book. "Plain Wisdom" is a heartwarming celebration of God, womanhood, and the search for beauty that unites us all. So grab your cup and your quilt and settle in for a soul-comforting read with "Plain Wisdom." "From the Trade Paperback edition."

Review :
Praise for "Plain Wisdom"" ""A treasure chest, for sure... The wisdom in these stories is time-tested and true--plain and simple."--Karen Kingsbury, "New York Times" best-selling author of "Unlocked" and "Shades of Blue" "A fascinating comparison between two starkly different ways of life."--Donald B. Kraybill, author of "The Riddle of Amish Culture" "A beautiful weaving of the lives of two very different women drawn together through their bond of faith and love of family. Their intertwining stories offer both timeless wisdom and sincere encouragement to inspire all women to learn from one another's experiences. You will enjoy their honesty, their humor, and their life lessons as well as some of their delicious recipes! Cindy and Miriam bring us back to the place where our hearts long to go--a place of simplicity and truth." --Karol Ladd, author of "The Power of a Positive Woman" ""Plain Wisdom" provides a beautiful glimpse into the lives of my longtime friend Cindy Woodsmall and her Amish friend Miriam Flaud. Though separated by the modern world and Old Order Amish customs, they have a living faith that bonds them and invites us to embrace our experiences with greater hope, delight, and laughter."--Dr. Alan Weatherly, senior pastor of Asbury United Methodist Church, Madison, Alabama "Cindy Woodsmall and Miriam Flaud have the unique ability to marry two very different lifestyles in a masterful way by focusing on their similarities in faith and in daily life. Their chapters are easily digested in short pages designed for busy women--be they Amish or English. I loved savoring the wisdom in this book as well as the mouth-watering recipes. Written with the true insight of women who have been there, "Plain Wisdom" is a serious guide to life that doesn't take itself too seriously...and offers something for every woman."--Ellie Kay, author of "The 60-Minute Money Workout" "From the Trade Paperback edition."
