Praise for Amish Grace

“A story our polarized country needs to listen to: It’s still grace that saves.”—Bill Moyers, Public Affairs Television

“In a world where repaying evil with evil is almost second nature, the Amish remind us there is a better way. In plain and beautiful prose, Amish Grace recounts the Amish witness and connects it to the heart in their spirituality.”—Sister Helen Prejean, writer, Dead Man Walking

“Faced with the notorious Amish aversion to publicity, reporter after reporter turned to the authors…to reply to one question: How could the Nickel Mines Amish so readily, so completely, forgive? Even 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 Magazine

“This balanced presentation . . .blends history, current evaluation of American society, and an examination of what builds community into a seamless story that details the shootings Even as it probes the religious beliefs that led to such quick forgiving. Really useful.” —Library Journal

“Professors Kraybill, Nolt, and Weaver-Zercher have written a very good book—a model of clear, forceful writing about a tragedy and its aftermath. They’ve 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.” —National Catholic Reporter
