This is a study of the concept of forgiveness among the Old Order Amish of southeastern Pennsylvania in the wake of the West Nickel Mines school massacre in the fall of 2006.
The authors, all professors who have studied the Amish for years, marvel at the way the Amish were able to forgive the shooter and reach out to his family.
We could all learn from it.
The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because the authors sometimes seem to string Bible quotations together, which gets a little dry at times. Still, it's worth reading.
