The Amish Grace book is a powerful and thought-provoking account of the Nickel Mines school shooting tragedy, and how the Amish community responded with forgiveness and compassion.

Written by three leading experts on Amish society, this book provides a detailed and balanced presentation of the events surrounding the tragedy, while also exploring the religious beliefs that led to such quick forgiving.

The authors have an obvious affection for the Amish yet ask tough questions, weigh contradictions, and explore conundrums such as how a loving God could permit schoolgirls to be massacred.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the Amish way of life, their unique approach to forgiveness, and the larger implications of their response to tragedy.
