A must read on forgiveness

This book helped me understand the forgiveness the Amish gave after the Nickel Mine School tragedy. The book did not focus on the tragedy, but on the people involved in the tragedy including the Amish girls, their families, firefighter, EMTs, and English neighbors. The book is an emotional journey that shows how everyone in the community reached out to help each other heal. It also explains the faith the Amish had that helped them offer forgiveness and comfort to the family of the killer.
I recommend this book for everyone, but be prepared to wipe away tears as you read the book that is told from the viewpoint of one of the survivors.

Needs more depth

After having read, Amish Grace (Kraybill) I was a little disappointed in this book. It is written from a victim's perspective on the tragedy, but the author did not interview the actual victims. It does not deal as indepth with the Amish culture of forgiveness. It does a better job than Amish Grace of presenting the actual gospel. Brief and a moving story.

The shootings at the Nickel Mines Amish schoolhouse shocked the nation and the world. How will the young victims, their families, and the community come to grips with this tragedy and forgive the man who caused their grief?
