Mennonite Life

We are gearing up for the sea of books that will come with the Bookworm Frolic. But for now, we have so many that we're going to stop receiving book donations by July 15th. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to deliver their collections over the last several weeks and months.

Where else are you going to find two rare opportunities to bid on T. J. van Braght’s book of martyrs: Het Bloedig Tooneel, of Martelaers Spiegel der Doops-Gesinde of Weereloose Christenen, from Amsterdam, 1685, bound in vellum. And T Merg van de Historien dr Martelaren from Amsterdam, 1769, with gilt tooling on the boards.

Come join us for our July Rare and Used Book Auction on July 10th at 6:30pm at the Mennonite Life Community Room.

You can place bids ahead of time at https://mennonitelife.org/shop/used-books/submit-bid/

As we approach July 4th and signing of the Declaration of Independence, we are often asked what the Mennonite response to the revolution was. Written during the bicentennial in 1976, John L. Ruth lays out the response from both Franconia and Lancaster County Mennonites to the rebellious fever surrounding them. You can purchase this history classic at all of Mennonite Life's museum stores.
