This sensitive and thoughtful meditation reflects on the response of the Amish community of Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, where in 2006 a gunman killed five school children, wounded five others, then killed himself. Even many Christians were stunned when the Amish community, in the midst of its grieving, offered words of forgiveness toward the dead killer and his family. John L. Ruth considers that extraordinary forgiveness as the legacy of that heartbreaking day.
