Amish Grace by Donald B Kraybill
On October 2, 2006, a gunman entered a Amish school in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania. After tying the legs of ten girls, Roberts opened fire on all of them, killing five and leaving the others critically wounded. This book explores the questions this story raises about the religious beliefs and habits that led the Amish to forgive him so quickly.
