Breakaway Amish: Growing Up with the Bergholz Beard Cutters

Johnny Mast tells in riveting detail how his Amish community became increasingly isolated from other Amish people, and how the wishes and edicts of his grandfather, Bishop Sam Mullet, overtook daily life in the group. Here is an eyewitness account of the disturbing events at Bergholz, an Amish community gone awry. Yet redemption dwells even here, in the bravery and conviction of one who chose to break free. Paperback. Herald Press/Mennonite Media, 2016. 173 pages.
