An Amish Awakening
In the book An Amish Awakening, the recounting of Mark Paul Troyer's going to Heaven experience is the centerpiece of this captivating true story.
Yet his life prior to this event is correspondingly as fascinating. Including his first-person insights into growing up Amish, facing family tragedy, and his inner turmoil regarding the meaning of being Amish. Along with his time of rebellion. While the aftermath of his journey to Heaven courses unpredictably amid victory and lament. With plot twists, unequaled even in works of fiction.
Mark was born Amish. As an adult working in a factory one day, as he puts it, "It was just like a whirlwind caught me up, whirling me away from where I was." And then he continues, “Just as quickly, I came out of this sensation of being in a whirlwind. And the first thing I saw in the distance was Jesus Christ, coming towards me.”
Churches filled up. Crowds gathered when they found out Mark would be speaking at an Amish person’s barn, a simple workshop, or at a widow’s home. And countless people dropped by his home unannounced. They wanted to hear his story.
This is the true story of Mark Paul Troyer. Yes, it’s the story everyone wanted to hear. And the book: An Amish Awakening, is Mark’s life—his remarkable life-story. An Amish story like no other. A story like no other!

Jesus Doesn't Have Facebook
Three-time Amazon bestselling author Rick Leland takes you on a journey, as he calls it, "Up Snake Hollow." He and his friends' examination of Facebook redlines the quirky-o-meter.
Yet Leland is full-on serious and puts the shovel to the task of giving a truthful Jesus-lensed view of the cultural phenomena most of us engage with more than what is healthy—body, soul, spirit.
Still, Leland confesses he still enjoys Facebook while offering discerning principles, original perspectives and some unpredicted merriment. Through all, keeping a solid theological mooring.
While Leland does not write for the click like, and spits some fire, yet he copiously speaks grace and mercy toward all in Jesus Doesn’t Have Facebook…what the crap is going on?. And is fond of acknowledging throughout the book that we all live at different campsites.
Readers may perceive the ride up Snake Hollow getting a little cray cray in in the final chapters of Jesus Doesn’t Have Facebook…what the crap is going on?. As the excursion veers onto a we-must-be-lost single track, coursing through two Leland-christened crap piles.
You decide!
