Download Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy AudioBook Free
Praise for Amish Sophistication "A tale our polarized country must hear: It really is still grace that saves."—Bill Moyers, Public Affairs Television "In a global where repaying evil with evil is almost second nature, the Amish remind us there's a better way. In plain and beautiful prose, Amish Grace recounts the Amish witness and connects it to the heart of the spirituality."—Sister Helen Prejean, author, Dead Man Walking "Confronted with the notorious Amish aversion to publicity, reporter after reporter considered the authors...to answer one question: How could the Nickel Mines Amish so readily, so completely, forgive? As the text provides a detailed account of the tragedy, its beauty lies in its discovery of forgiveness as the crux of Amish culture. Never preachy or treacly, it suggests a larger meditation more than apt in our time."—Philadelphia Journal "This balanced demonstration . . .blends history, current analysis of American society, and an study of what builds community into a seamless story that details the shootings while it probes the religious beliefs that resulted in such quick forgiving. Recommended." —Library Journal "Professors Kraybill, Nolt, and Weaver-Zercher have written a superb book—a style of clear, forceful writing about a tragedy and its own aftermath. They may have an obvious affection for the Amish yet ask tough questions, weigh contradictions, and explore conundrums such as what sort of loving God could permit schoolgirls to be massacred." —National Catholic Reporter
