Chosen to Die — Jerry S. Eicher

In a departure from his usual Amish fiction, Jerry Eicher has penned a futuristic political thriller in Chosen to Die. Young Amishman Enos Yoder faces the greatest crisis of his life when the government appears to target the Amish for their religious beliefs -- and his mother lies on her deathbed. Regina Owens, the liberal minister in town, is having her normal world rocked to the core as she watches a woman gunned down who flees a police checkpoint. Will Enos and his family survive when the solution Enos finds is rejected by his father? And will Enos recover personally when his girlfriend is taken from him? Will his faith, backed by five hundred years of teaching against violence, quell the hatred rising in his heart? Will Regina find her answer? And can she live with the truth once she does? Chosen to die! Two worlds collide as the forces of evil drive them together.
