Books by Rebecca Borntrager Graber

My Amish Story is the story of the last few years of Amish life for the Graber family in the nineteen nineties. It’s about the hurdles of breaking the barriers of centuries; of family circles being broken with no goodbyes; of heartbreak and estrangement; of the transitions and adjustments to a new way of living.

In the Whale’s Belly is a collection of real life experiences the author had while being involved in jail ministry in south Texas. Many of the chapters are written as conversations between the author and the ladies in jail, allowing the reader to listen in on the raw needs of those in jail and the answers given from Scripture. The ending of each chapter includes questions and notes that can be used in a personal or group Bible Study.

Amish Life in the early twentieth century

A glimpse into Amish life in the early Twentieth Century. A book in two parts, Till the Cows Come Home covers Lizzie’s teenage years and Hear That Whistle Blow! covers her life after she is married. This small book will give the reader some insight into Amish life before modernization of the world around them. Grandma Lizzie told these stories to the author when the author was a child. Later when Grandma Lizzie was in her nineties she visited the author for a number of weeks and retold some of them again to the author’s children.
