Eighth of a Tank : One Family's Journey of Faith
Have you ever wondered if God was really there? Does He really care about your wife, kids, daily life, intimate details? You've read in the Bible how He counts every hair on your head or every sparrow. But with all the turmoil found in this 21st century, does He still care? Is Jesus Christ real, and does He really interact with us? Is He really concerned of my day to day?
This book, originally written as a family newsletter in 2012 and now in first time print, will provide a detailed account of how the Creator, Savior, and Lord of all the universe has intimately and specifically provided every detail for a family consisting of 5 children, a pregnant wife, and a carpenter who have simply trusted Jesus Christ with child-like faith for their every need and direction.
Just as a million of former slaves followed a flame in the desert wilderness, just as a German living in industrial England with thousands of orphans, just as a British doctor in inland China facing death daily during the Boxer Rebellion, this family's story is no different. They all lived by this one simple principle found in Hebrews 11:6:
Without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.
This story captures the struggles and victories of God's provisions in their lives as they followed the call of Jesus Christ to come and follow, leaving EVERYTHING behind.
The overall theme is this: Follow the Lord blindly, not because you are weak-minded, but because He is so master-minded. - Leanne Talshahar, Author of Eighth of a Tank
It is believed that these witches have tapped into a forbidden realm of supernatural powers that go against the principles of the Amish faith. However, it is important to approach these stories with skepticism and caution. The Amish are known for their strong religious convictions and strict adherence to their beliefs.
Witchcraft and any form of sorcery are strictly prohibited within the Amish community. The Amish adhere to a strict code of conduct known as the Ordnung, which governs all aspects of their lives, including dress, marriage, and interactions with the outside world. The rumors of Amish witches often stem from misunderstandings and misinterpretations of Amish practices. For example, some people may mistake traditional healing practices that involve the use of herbs and natural remedies for witchcraft. These practices, known as "Powwow" or "Brauche," are based on traditional European folk medicine and have been passed down through generations within the Amish community. They are used to treat minor ailments and promote general wellbeing. Another possible explanation for the existence of these rumors is the fascination with the unknown and the desire to romanticize or sensationalize a seemingly closed-off community. The Amish way of life, with its simplicity and rejection of modern conveniences, often appears mysterious and intriguing to outsiders. In reality, the Amish community in Holmes County is a close-knit society that places great emphasis on family, faith, and community. While they may have their own unique customs and practices, it is essential to approach them with respect and understanding. The idea of Amish witches may be nothing more than a product of imagination and misunderstanding, rather than a reality within the community..

"Amish witches holmes county real" was a complete waste of my time. The narrative was poorly structured, the characters were one-dimensional, and the writing was filled with cliches. It felt like the author was trying too hard to create an intriguing blend of Amish culture and witchcraft, but it was simply not convincing or engaging. I found myself constantly questioning the decisions of the characters and rolling my eyes at the predictable plot twists. Save yourself the trouble and skip this book. It offers nothing new or exciting in the world of literature.
