Called of God
Subtitled "The Mennonite Churches of Reading, Pennsylvania." A sympathetic account of a journey of faith at the dawn of the 20th century, the Mennonites of Lancaster Co. and Berks Co. lived simple, well-regulated lives within their farm communities.

This account reviews 85 years of Mennonite church life in Reading and honors those who received and proclaimed the message of Jesus Christ. (316pp. illus. index. Author, 2007.)
