| | | The Amish communitys radical act of forgiveness in response to the horrific shooting of ten schoolgirls in October 2006 stunned the world. This book offers insight into how the Amish faith inspires compassion rather than vengeance.
Annotation:
In October, 2006, a gunman entered a school, took a group of girls hostage and shot them, killing several and wounding many before he turned the gun on himself. The school was in an Amish community, and the grieving Amish families astonished the world when, deep in grief and loss, they remained true to their teachings and expressed sincere forgiveness for the events. How can this be? What is behind it? Donald Kraybill explains Amish life, beliefs, and practices, showing where this astonishing spirit of forgiveness comes from, and how it can be a model for communities worldwide.
