Amish Confidential

Looking for Trouble on Heaven’s Back Roads

By: Levi Stoltzfus, Ellis Henican

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

"Lebanon" Levi Stoltzfus, star of the hit Discovery Channel reality show Amish Mafia, delivers a sizzling tell-all about Amish life today. From the forbidden joyrides to the senseless shunnings to the colorful family feuds, he shares his frank insider's view of this fascinating and secretive society.

You've seen the pretty postcards and the shiny tourist brochures. Now, Amish Confidential takes listeners beyond the buggies, bonnets, and beards - into the hidden heart of back-roads Amish country. The all-night field parties. The prohibited automobiles. The nosy neighbors and prissy tattletales. It's all here: the many "English temptations". The stitch-and-bitch quilting bees. The sex, alcohol, and illicit Wi-Fi. And the random acts of kindness and remarkable forgiveness, too.

Interest in the Amish has never been greater. The tourist counts keep breaking new records. Amish Mafia is back for a fourth blockbuster season on TV, joined now by several spinoff shows. Amish Confidential taps right into America's fresh fascination with the throwback Amish. Stoltzfus weaves his never-before-told personal story through some high-profile Amish episodes that rocked the news in recent years, including the Nickel Mines shooting massacre, the Amish sisters' farm-stand kidnapping, and the Amish-Pagan drug gang. As America's most famous Amish tough guy makes clear in every minute, there is nothing plain or simple about the plain-and-simple life.

Absolutely a awesome FABULOUS READ.

Absolutely Love LOVE LOVE LEBANON LEVI! I live in bucks county, pa and my family owned a vacation home in Lancaster County. I've always been fascinated by the Amish and their families and children. I think all cultures have their own way of protecting their own. Because the Amish can not call the police (I'm all for that belief myself unless someone is in serious danger) so having Lebanon levi there to protect the businesses and the people is soooo awesome. I love the idea of an Amish mafia. levi is just so passive aggressive it's almost "hot". I told my husband I want that bumper sticker "I'm protected by Lebanon Levi!" Great book Levi. I think it was super courageous of you to write this book despite the threats and all the negative backlash. I think you should be made KING Of the AMISH. YA HEARD THAT GOV. CORBIN or whatever ur name is. In conclusion Levi I'd like to say to you don't worry about no hater that's a haters job to hate. If you have 50 haters today god bless you.... you need to show them what a bad ass mafia boss you are and have 75 haters by tomorrow. my entire family thinks you rock. I will miss Amish mafia so so bad. we wish you all the luck, happiness, and love in the world. thanks for a fabulous read. I read this book in less then 72 hours and I have 3 children and a husband to take care of. thank god for the Ole ipod!! Thanks Jaime_woelk

Lessons about the Amish

I learned from the book about the Amish and their culture and customs. It cleared up some of my misunderstands about the Amish and made me have empathy for them.
I hope that someday they will live the way God meant for them live. Free and in a relationship with Him. Not all the rules, fears and bondage.

Great book

Will read audiblebook I learned a lot about the Amish that I did not realize.

surprise! the Amish are normally human.

certainly a great book to learn about the Amish and that they are simply human. Great book...
