There are Amish books with stories.
I have read something like 85% choose to join church and stay "Amish". I have lived in two Amish communities and I'd say that figure sounds correct. Some families have high retention rates, other families seem to go English.
I read somewhere that they were made by the Amish.
here is a good website that has alot of answers to your questions you might have about the Amish. The Amish are very fasinating if you read some of this. http://www.holycrosslivonia.org/Amish/amishfaq.htm
Amish communities generally have a varied approach to reading newspapers, depending on their beliefs and the specific Ordnung (set of rules) of their community. Some Amish may read local newspapers to stay informed about community events and issues, while others may avoid them due to concerns about worldly influences. In some cases, Amish individuals might read newspapers in a limited context or rely on non-Amish friends or businesses to keep them updated on news. Overall, newspaper readership among the Amish is not uniform and can differ significantly between communities.
Because they do not understand why the Amish do what they do or they a bigoted.
No. The Amish, like most Christians, reject the practice of polygamy.

The sacred text that the Amish use is the Bible. Those of the Amish faith are Christian. The Amish also have a set of rules governing how they should live their lives, this set of rules is called the Ordnung.

The Amish people are traditionalist Christians. The Amish submit to the will of Jesus, and are not a forward people, believing that pride, arrogance, and haughtiness are sins. The scripture at their services is the translation by Martin Luther, and is either read or recited from memory.
Most Amish don't use technology. They see it as a distraction, and they have other religious views about it. Each Amish community has a sort of "rulebook" called an Ordnung that is different for each community- for example, one community might be allowed to have a telephone for the entire community, and for another it wouldn't be so. Also, a lot (NOT ALL) Amish people don't feel comfortable with associating themselves with non-Amish peoples and/or don't feel a need to explain themselves. Some people were Amish when they were younger, though, and have "converted" to a non-Amish lifestyle, so don't be surprised to see answers from once-Amish people.
