Edsel Burdge Jr. and Samuel L. Horst tell the stories of three centuries of faith and life among the Washington County (Md.), and Franklin County (Pa.) Mennonites. From small beginnings in colonial American settlements, issues such as personal spiritual commitment, corporate accountability, nonconformity, and peace have been constants. As questions of language, fashion, work, education, and mission produced internal stresses, they struggle to maintain group unity. This history describes in detail the particulars of that struggle as well as recounting stories illustrative of community life in general. 928 Pages.

In this volume, Ray and Lillian Bair remind us that our money is not really our own; it belongs to God and we are managers of it. The modern word "manager" comes close to defining the word "steward" as used in the Bible. As good stewards of what God has entrusted to us, we should be able to account for the use of the resources in our care. God's Managers is more than just another family and individual budget record book, it also shares Ray and Lillian's own testimony in applying the biblical concepts of "firstfruits giving" and "overflow" in their money management. -From the foreword by Robert Yoder
