My Journey to Freedom (By: Mattie Mullet)
My Journey to Freedom
By: Mattie Mullet
My Journey to Freedom is a poignant, moving account of one woman's struggle to gain her freedom from a lifestyle and culture into which she was born. In this memoir, Mattie Mullet takes you on a journey into the little known world of the Amish. Even in modern times, many of these communities still live as though they are a part of the nineteenth century. Their strict traditions, customs, and rules are reinforced by shunning and banning anyone who goes against the norm. Because of their secretive and cloistered nature, little is known about this religion.
In this book, Mattie opens up the doors and you get the plain truth. Follow Mattie's journey as she endures a hard life as a farmer's wife, a mother of seven children, and a secretly battered woman. Witness her struggles as she moves from farm to farm, trying to seek a living out of the land to help support her family. Learn what finally led to Mattie leaving the Amish life behind. Learn how the power of God worked in Mattie's life after she discovered Christ. This is a story of one woman's reinvention and of her coming into her own person after the age of fifty.
This book cannot be compared to any of the bonnet books. It is not fiction; it is the true story of what one woman, Mattie Mullet, had to go through in order to follow her Savior.
About the Author:
Mattie was born to an Amish bishop and his second wife. At age 51, she did the unthinkable and left the Amish community. Most of her family left at the same time. They were all banned and are still being strictly shunned. Without Jesus, Mattie would not have had the strength to do it. This is the first book she has written.
