Follow the Journey from Tradition to Truth in "Undeceived" by Eli Yoder At eighteen, Eli Yoder made the life-altering decision to leave the oppressive and often abusive confines of his Old-Order Amish community. Venturing into the unfamiliar "English" world, he sought freedom from condemnation and ultimately discovered the life-giving truths of the Bible and liberation from the deceptions of human traditions. "Undeceived" is more than an exposé of Amish life; it is one man's heartfelt and intimate search for faith, authenticity, and redemption. While critical of the heretical and harsh practices of his Amish roots, Eli's deep respect and love for the Amish people and lifestyle shine through as he pursues a reality that goes beyond the traditions of his upbringing. For anyone feeling bound by the customs and beliefs of their past or trapped by their life situation, Eli's testimony of tragedy and triumph is a powerful reminder that true freedom does not come through religious practices, institutions, or human ordinance, but through the simple grace and truth of Jesus Christ. Walk alongside Eli as he unveils the liberation he found through an honest investigation of the Bible, encouraging readers to seek truth over tradition and live undeceived. About the Author: Born and raised in Ohio, Eli Yoder left his Hardin County Old Order Amish community at the age of 18. Frustrated by the oppressive traditions of his Amish upbringing, Eli's departure from the ultra-conservative community was triggered when he faced condemnation of his soul for riding a bicycle. Eli left his Amish roots to ultimately embrace the reality and truth he discovered by reading the Bible and discovering salvation through Jesus Christ. Eli is a prominent YouTube and Social media personality where he features a variety of content ranging from Bible teaching to personal stories about his life within and outside the Amish community. Known for his straightforward and heartfelt storytelling, Eli often records his videos from his truck, earning him the nickname "the preaching truck driver". He frequently supports former Amish individuals, helping them transition into mainstream society by providing resources and guidance. Eli's message is not just about leaving a way of life, but also about finding a new path free of deception and using his experiences to educate and inspire others. His dedication to shedding light on the complexities and challenges of the Amish lifestyle has made him an influential voice in discussions about religious oppression and personal autonomy.

There is an awakening. There is a stirring. Within the Amish culture, proud of their forefathers' traditions, there is a desire within many for deeper spiritual things. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled." Somehow, following the path that the majority walk inside their church doesn't provide that spiritual satisfaction for many. It's time to pursue where God is leading the individual.

In My People, the Amish, Joe Keim paints a detailed picture of life behind the bonnets and buggies. More than a biography, this is an honest look at the heart-warming traditions that mingle with the deep-rooted legalism of the Amish community in Ashland, Ohio. Born, raised, and baptized in an Old Order Amish church, from childhood Joe Keim was taught that if he didn’t follow the twenty-two-page ordinance letter that governed his community, there was no way he could get to heaven. What started as a path of rebellion led Joe and his wife Esther to a caring group of Englisher Christians who would love them like family and show them how to live out their new found faith in Jesus Christ. Nine months after their traditional Amish wedding, Joe and Esther left family and friends forever to live openly for Christ, and endured shunning and excommunication with bold faith. Since then, the Lord has brought many former Amish people to Joe and Esther for help. Because of their passion for the Amish people and with the support of fellow believers, they have brought biblical truth to thousands of Amish through the ministry they founded in 2000, Mission to Amish People (MAP).

In his search for peace he became a member of the Amish church, but found his spiritual life going from bad to worse. He gave up on living a victorious life.

This is the true story of Ora-Jay and Irene Eash, Amish farmers from northwest Montana whose lives changed in an instant when a semi-truck struck the family buggy, killing their two young daughters. After the accident, the couple turned to their Amish community for comfort, but they remained haunted by the thought that they might not see their girls again in heaven. Would their deeds be good enough? Eventually Ora-Jay and Irene learned that grace—not works—was enough to ensure their place in eternity. But with that knowledge came the realization that they could no longer live in an Amish community that didn’t share this precious belief. Could they sever their connection to the Amish family they loved? This is the story of their journey to the hope that is heaven, a hope stronger than the loss of children, family, and a way of life. Fans of Amish fiction will appreciate such a real-life look into the Amish community, co-written by bestselling author Tricia Goyer, and readers of all kinds will resonate with this tale of courage, resilience, and the redemption found in the grace of Jesus.

Dear readers, this book is written about personal experiences and growth in eighty-five years of life. I’ve been putting it on paper for the last thirty to forty years, and that is what you hold in your hand. What this book hopefully will accomplish is to inspire and enlighten. In the process of reading these shared life stories, whether it brings a smile to your face or perhaps a tear in your eye, it is in the same manner that it did to us while living the stories out in real life. The stories also will describe some of the Amish culture and beliefs. Each story is true, even the ones that seem to be unbelievable. The stories are of experiences that have happened from youth to adulthood. The lessons learned here are invaluable to all—young, old, women, or men. Also included in this book are religious beliefs that have changed and developed over the years. Once you have read even one line of this book, or if you read it from cover to cover and found it inspiring, praise God and give him the glory. In the name of Jesus Christ, his bond servant.
