Written originally in German and published in the Canadian Mennonite journal "Der Bote," Janzen's little book is part confession, part memoir, and part critique of the life he experienced in the Mennonite colonies in the Russia of his youth. Available now for the first time in English, Jacob H Janzen's thoughtful reflections "lift the veil" on a unique period of Mennonite history.

This book deals with the first century of Russian Mennonite settlement, and the dynamics of change in Mennonite communities in Russia between 18789 and 1889. It chronicles the establishment in southern Russia of prosperous agrarian colonies, the foundation of religious congregations and the creation of new economic, social, and political institutions. Mennonites in Russia had to face the dual challenge of the emergence of a modern, industrial society and the increasing power of the Russian state. As Mennonites responded to these challenges, and some grew rich and successful, tensions and conflict in their communities increased. This resulted in the division of congregations and communities and the further emigration of many Mennonites to North America.
