An inside look at the Amish in Illinois ... from how they live and work to what they believe and the importance of family. Featuring 16 full-color photo pages.Anyone who has ever driven through the rural Amish community surrounding Arthur and Arcola has probably struggled to understand why these people have chosen to live without electricity, vehicles, or modern technology like televisions, radios and computers. Visitors hear the clip-clop of the horses pulling buggies and see the children walking in their straw hats and little white bonnets to one-room country schools. They see farmers cutting their hayfields with horse-drawn mowers, and women tending huge gardens to feed their families all year long.What they don't see is the deep commitment these people have to their Christian faith and in keeping their families strong and close. The Amish do not live the way they do because they have a fascination with the past. They live that way to keep their world small and their focus on their faith and their families.ABOUT THE AUTHORRegional editor Rebecca Mabry began writing for newspapers as an area correspondent.
