"Peters [has] the capacity to describe often isolated and embattled religious groups with sympathy as well as insight. . . . Peters's ability to tell the story in simple and sympathetic terms is an achievement in itself, making this book a valuable addition to the literature."--Interdisciplinary History
"This book is important reading for all, academic, and public policy people who have interests in or concerns about cherishing and protecting ethnic minorities or about government upholding a high standard in protecting religious liberty."--Journal of American Ethnic History
"This is an extremely reader-friendly book. Peters tells the story of . . . one of the landmark cases in the Supreme Court's interpretation of the U.S Constitution's First Amendment religion clauses. He vividly portrays all the characters, along with their foibles and hidden agendas. . . . The volume is highly recommended for the lay reader who wants to learn important facts about the workings of the U.S. legal system in an entertaining and accessible way. Highly recommended."--Choice
"Shawn Francis Peters, with his award-winning Judging Jehovah's Witnesses, established himself as a church-state scholar of note. This well-written book confirms that status."--Journal of Church and State
"A detailed, impartial analysis of events, and a fascinating account recommended for law school students and nonspecialist general readers with an interest in the separation of Church and State issues."--Bookwatch
"Wisconsin v. Yoder remains an important church-state case three decades later, and Peters does a tremendous job of outlining the issues in a well-written manner. He takes time to introduce the characters in the drama from the interest group lawyers to the Amish parents. He offers insightful analyses on the tension that these Amish men created by 'going to law' in a subculture that does not value litigation. . . . Those interested in this area of law would be advised to read this account of a case that was narrow in scope, but wide in historical implications."--For God and Country
"Sympathetic, yet rigorous, and grounded in a thorough grasp of Amish culture, this superb book shows how Amish religious convictions have reshaped religious liberty for all Americans."--Donald B. Kraybill, author of The Amish and the State
"A masterly study of a case at the very heart of what free exercise of religion means."--Melvin I. Urofsky, author of A March of Liberty: A Constitutional History of the United States
"Admirably blends a wonderful storytelling ability with a remarkable capacity to present complex legal aspects of the case in a way that's easy to understand."--Derek Davis, author of Original Intent: Chief Justice Rehnquist and the Course of American Church-State Relations
"An extremely illuminating study of a profound human drama."--Sanford Levinson, author of Constitutional Faith
