More than Happy

“Not only provides a kaleidoscope of insight into the daily structure of Amish parenting, but… compares and contrasts it with ‘Englisch’ parenting and offers ways to incorporate Amish methods into one’s own life. A rich, entertaining compendium.” * Kirkus *
“Miller gleans helpful clues about parenting that can be used in non-Amish homes… A useful offering.” * Booklist *
“With charming examples and interesting first-hand observations, Miller shows us how Amish parents instill the values, virtues, and habits that mark their children with exceptional personal character and abiding faith.” – Marybeth Hicks, author of Teachable Moments
“How I long to hear a parent say, ‘I just want my child to be humble’ rather than ‘I just want my child to be happy.’ In the closing chapter of More Than Happy, Serena and Paul drive the message home that who we are and what we stand for determines who our children become.” – Jill Rigby Garner, Founder, Manners of the Heart® and author of Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World
