John Ruth begins with the Amish community's tremendous act of forgiveness for the man and his family who killed and wounded their children. Then he explores the roots of such love in their community life and theological outlook and their faithfulness to the bible and especially the sermon on the mount. This book is well written and highlights the great need for this forgiving love in our society.

Summary of Forgiveness/Version Out of Print
This book is has been revised and this version is Out of Print. Please reference 9780836195736 Forgiveness - the 2nd edition. This sensitive and thoughtful meditation on the horrific events of October 2, 2006, reflects on the response of the Amish community of Nickel Mines, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where a gunman killed himself, five school children, and wounded five others. The tragic crime evoked expressions of shock and sympathy worldwide. But 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.Christian Living Books
