Think No Evil: Inside the Story of the Amish Schoolhouse Shooting...and Beyond Audiobook

" This is the retelling of the story of the Nickel Mines Amish Shooting by a school counselor that lives in the area. It was a wicked crime, but the Amish residents of the community, even in the light of tragedy, show true compassion, love and forgiveness that can be a lesson to us all. I enjoyed the book, even though the crime was horrendous. "

" A very good book about forgiveness. Would have given it 5 stars if the writing had been a little better, but the story is compelling and moving. It is the story of the Amish schoolhouse shooting in Pennsylvania and its aftermath. Most of the story is about the Amish virtue of forgiveness. After the shootings, in which 5 Amish girls and the shooter died, the Amish community reached out to both the shooting victims' families and the shooter's family. "

" This book was part story of the shooting at the Nickel Mines school, part informational about the Amish, and part instructional about forgiveness. While I didn't think the author's writing style was the best, I enjoyed this book for the information it gave and the challenge to live a life of genuine forgiveness. "

" I have a newfound respect for the Amish people and how they extend forgiveness. I will try to be the smae as I remember this story. And the author adds a few twists of his own and how he had to apply forgiveness in his own life. We should have the love of Christ for everyone. Then we can truly forgive and have peace. "

" The information about forgiveness is amazing. The writing style is okay, but the author sometimes repeats himself. Despite that, he is also very open about his own path to forgiveness in his life. Truly a lesson for us all in this sad world where the first action after someone has been wronged is to contact an attorney and/or plot revenge. "

" Joe and I went to Amish Acres this past week and I gathered an armful of Amish-themed books. This one literally kept me up half the night while on vacation. It tells the true story of a one-room Amish schoolhouse shooting in Lancaster County, PA. In chilling detail it outlines the night before, morning of and aftermath of one man's horrific crime on these most peaceful of people. Even more shocking than the crime is the Amish community's response. Their immediate impulse is to forgive the killer of their children and to welcome his family into their homes. If you can handle disturbing material, this book is a very worthwhile read. "

" Very good. Very thought provoking. "

" An excellent book focusing on the importance of forgiveness "

" This book is about unconditional forgiveness. A must read. "

" This book was great, we all could learn a lot from the Amish community after this tragedy. "

" Intensely inspirational. This book is not so much about the tragedy of the Nickel Mine Schoolhouse shooting as it is about the divinity of forgiveness. Powerful example to us all. "

" The authors point of view on forgiveness is decent. It allows the reader who is not quick to forgive a different perspective. The tragedy that took place at the school house, violent, devastating...The flow of the book however was a bit all over the map and thus the rating of 2 (ok) "

" Wow! What we all could learn about forgiveness and faith from the Amish. A new perspective and way of approaching life. "

" I was amazed at the incredible discipline of forgiveness in these people. This book isn't so much about the incident at the Amish school but more about the peoples reaction after. Very moving! "

" This book says exactly what I want to say about forgiveness but everyone thinks I'm crazy, even other Christians. "

" More than just an account of the shooting at the Amish school; it explores the Amish and their doctrine of forgiveness. I found it interesting and, at times, moving. "

" This was a lot more of a religious book than I was bargaining for. "

" Powerful. Chapter 13: Why Forgive? - a different way of thinking about forgiveness. Note to self: re-read Victor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning." Both books offer a healing way to deal with tragedy and horror. "
