Hutterite Life

Reflections


Reading Peter Tschetter's book Hutterite Life is a personal reminiscent collection of stories of a generation living during transition times to a more convenient way of living on the prairie of South Dakota. One can get a glimpse of the living conditions of that generation whether one was in communal living or in community living.


Peter has expressed believing that a Christ-centered life is lived by allowing the Holy Spirit of God to move one to live in a way that show's God's grace. That a Christ-centered life must reflect a heart filled with the testimony of Jesus of those who claim His name---thereby giving real meaning to their own being.


"Pete", as affectionately known, has expressed a desire to write down more stories of his childhood. His rich experiences and also those involved should be read and not fall forgotten to the ages. I encourage him and the Hutterite people to share their life of communal living in this unique American sub-culture.
