The Best Book about Conservative Mennonites

This book is probably the only book available which goes into detail about the different Old Order and Conservative Mennonite Groups. Its coverage of the Old Order groups is a little better than that of the Conservative Mennonite groups (such as the Nationwide Fellowship or the Bethel Conservative Fellowship). However, anyone who is serious about joining (or researching) the Old Order and Conservative Mennonites should definitely have this book.
