Bill and Tricia Moser were living in one of America's wealthiest communities when they stepped away and began a journey that led to a horse-and-buggy Amish life. No more BMWs. No more architectural or medical careers. Instead, the Mosers drew close with their children, built pallets for money, wore homemade clothes, and bonded with people of their Amish faith and community. Here, in Becoming Amish, they offer a modern couple's honest perspective on that separate and seemingly cloistered world, a perspective that is uniquely insider and outsider at the same time. The Mosers' journey is rich and fascinating all on its own as we learn about the inner workings of the Amish faith, ways and culture-what their church services are like, how their businesses succeed at such a high rate, how they are so remarkably connected on a human scale (without Facebook!), how they balance technology in their lives, and more. But though the couple's decision can seem extreme, it can also serve as a mirror that helps us reflect upon our own choices, our own beliefs and values. If we were to be as intentional about our lives, how would we realign our choices big and small to achieve a fulfilling life? Becoming Amish rounds out the Mosers' tale with interviews, vignettes, and information that adds context, perspective and insight into the Amish community. The reader learns of a startlingly violent book-published in 1660-that is central to this pacifist people's belief and is in nearly every Amish home. The reader visits a "plain" community in the hills of Kentucky-a community that lives even more simply than most Amish-to discuss "the whys" of a low-technology life and faith. The reader contemplates an interview with the Lutheran minister who helped lead the Supreme Court case back in 1972 that allowed the Amish to pull their children from public school after 8th grade-what compelled him to do that? becomingamish@gmail.com.

One morning during a busy clinic my dead grandfather dropped in for a chat... This sent me off on a journey: a mad dash through territory populated by mediums, psychics, poltergeists, and ghost hunters. Along the way I met some fascinating and often strange people. Let me take you with me as I travel through the hinterland of what we touchingly call reality. I'll introduce you to some of the people and beings I met on my journey. You'll get the inside story, the nuts and bolts of how someone like me can train to become a medium. Dr. Ian D. Rubenstein is a U.K. doctor who works in Enfield, North London. Since training as a medium, he has attempted to use the mediumistic skills he has learned in his medical work as a primary care physician. "CONSULTING SPIRIT tells a fascinating story about a self-described 'skeptical physician' who found himself becoming a medium. Dr. Ian D. Rubenstein, the author, put his newly discovered skills to practical use in his practice of medicine, and this is what makes the book unique. Dr. Rubenstein found a way to make contact 'with the realm of Spirit,' and provides a path for 'practical mediumship' that his readers will find absorbing and provocative." --Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., co-author, "Demystifying Shamans and Their World" "A remarkable story, told with good humor and an engaging touch of bewilderment at the workings of the 'spirit world' into which the author found himself unwittingly plunged. Despite his light-hearted approach, he has a serious message to convey--that, as he puts it, 'somewhere along the way, modern medicine has missed a trick or two.' I found the book as instructive as it was enjoyable, and cannot recommend it too highly."--Guy Lyon Playfair, author of "The Indefinite Boundary" "Ian Rubenstein is an ideal narrator as he takes us through his own personal story of exploring the paranormal, which he tells in a warm and informal way. He is infectiously curious, albeit a skeptic and a doctor who readily admits he does not know the answers but is keen to find them out. His lesson to us all? Keep an open mind." --Sarah Hartley, Mail on Sunday
