Fruit of the vine,

"The present book attempts to portray the history of the Church of the Brethren from its eighteenth-century German matrix to the present. By design it excludes the stories of the Old German Baptist Brethren, Brethren Church and Grace Brethren, and Dunkard Brethren past their point of departure from the larger body now known as the Church of the Brethren."--Pref.
