Note: I got some of the descriptions of some of these books from the AMBS library website  """"""

NOTE: frpm Jeff  

I would add one.

"Doctrins of the Bible" by Daniel Kauffman - Herald Press.

This is as close as you will get to a true doctrinal book for the Mennonites.

This book is very popular in the Mennonite Faith and is often given as a Wedding Present to Newlyweds. It is very close to being Doctrinal in the Anabaptist tradition. I was given this book myself when I joined the Mennonite Church.

Thank You and God Bless

I believe this my be true. or it just may be this is were the largest market is. I find this sad too belive and has been discussed on another post by me on "Why no pdfs".

I feel the best way to help is to post your "Mennonite/Anabaptist" books here on suggestions.
