An Amish schoolhouse in Lancaster County, PA
On October 2nd, 2006, Charles Roberts broke into the Nickel Mines Amish schoolhouse in Lancaster County, PA and killed a number of school girls. The story of that tragic Amish school shooting made national news. But the resulting Amish forgiveness displayed in the lives of the entire Amish community made international headlines.
The events at Nickel Mines and the story that followed have now been described in three fascinating books. These books describe the faith and love that brought healing three years ago and can still bring healing to our society today:
- “Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy” by Donald Kraybill, Steven Nolt, and David Weaver-Zercher (Sept. 2007)
- “The Happening – Nickel Mines School Tragedy” by Harvey Yoder (Sept. 2007)
- “Think No Evil: Inside the Story of the Amish Schoolhouse Shooting… and Beyond” by Jonas Beiler and Shawn Smucker (Sept. 2009)

Hello, this is really interesting. Can you show me additional resources to read more ??
I really enjoyed reading your interesting yet very informative insight. In the book of life every page has two sides: we human beings fill the upper side with our plans, hopes and wishes, but providence writes on the other side, and what it ordains is seldom our goal. Thank you for sharing and I am looking forward to reading more of your very current blog postings!!!

Hello my name is Ghelu Mae Borell and I’m from Sweden. I have this project in Religion and I’am going to talk about Amish people. I search all over the internet but I can’t find any answer to my question.
* How does an Amish person see about retarded and someone with disable who has difference care and support?
*What Amish people think about abortion and donating organs?
*How can Amish people show that they are faithful to their religion (what is wrong or right)?
* If someone dies, do Amish people have special way to grave someone?
* What is an Amish people think about privacy and work participation to their religion?
*What do Amish people think about and advice, when the lives begin?
Thank you in advance for investigating this matter
