Amish Grace the movie is based on
the book Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy by Donald B.

community schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania a disturbed man upsets the

the other 5 girls before killing himself.This movie does not concentrate on the murders, but more so about the
unbelievable forgiveness offered by the Amish community.Immediately after the community was
turned upside down, Amish leaders go to the home of the shooter offering
forgiveness and compassion to his widow.Even the father of one of the deceased girls offers comfort to the
widow.The movie highlights facts
of the actual events that caught national media attention.The incredible cast includes stars
like: Kimberly Williams-Paisley (According to Jim, Father of the Bride) and
Matt Letscher (Medium, Brothers & Sisters, Boston Legal).
Amish
Grace is extremely inspirational and
illustrates that faith can overcome even the most tragic circumstances.Luke 6:37 says, "Forgive, and you will
be forgiven."As Christians we are
to forgive, even our enemies.There
is a lot to learn from the forgiveness in this film.This is an emotional movie so be sure to have plenty of
tissues.
