My Early YearsAn Autobiography by Robert S. Kreider |
|
Robert S. Kreider has moved at the center of the American Mennonite story for three quarters of a century, as an administrator, scholar, church leader, and impassioned activist, and did much to shape its very course. This autobiography places readers inside the personal, familial, and churchly dynamics of Mennonite life in the first half of the 20th century.
"My Early Years is an extraordinary memoir. Growing up in the 1920s and 1930s Robert S. Kreider observed the human costs of intra-Mennonite conflict. In the 1940s he discovered the richness of inter-Mennonite cooperation. This engaging and insightful account places the personal, familial, and churchly in cultural and political context. Reading this is so captivating that one can only wish for more."
