Roots and Branches recounts decade by decade the century-long
history of Amish and Mennonites in the Southeast United States.
With gentle candor Lehman, storyteller as well as historian,
examines southeast Mennonites' clashes of conscience as their
subculture was challenged by the diverse cultures of the people
they sought to serve. "With the art of a storyteller, the heart of
a pastor, and the acumen of a leader, Lehman narrates the Amish and
Mennonite presence in the Southeast in this first of two volumes."
says John E. Sharp, Author, A School on the Prairie: A Centennial
History of Hesston College, 1909-2009. James R. Krabill, Senior
Executive for Global Ministries, Mennonite Mission Network,
observes that "We have much to learn as God's people and Roots and
Branches can help us in doing just that." Richard K. MacMaster,
Author, Land, Piety, Peoplehood: The Establishment of Mennonite
Communities in America, 1683-1790 thinks "This is grass roots
history at its best, telling the story of the men and women who
nurtured an Anabaptist presence in Florida and Georgia." John. L.
Ruth, Author, The Earth Is the Lord's: A Narrative History of
Lancaster Mennonite Conference, believes that "key moments and
personalities, insightfully recalled, will help new members gain
important understandings of Southeast Mennonite Conference as well
as its neighbor churches, and historians of the larger Mennonite
scene will need this book for their own interpretive work." And
Irene Bechler, a former urban church planter, sees "The evident
working of the Holy Spirit" in the stories Lehman tells.
