An insider's look into the events surrounding the Nickel Mines
Amish schoolhouse shootings--told by the counselor who was called
upon to come to the farmhouse where the families met on that
fateful day.On October 2, 2006, Charles Roberts, a local milk-tank
truck driver, bound and shot ten young girls in an Amish
schoolhouse before committing suicide. Five girls died. Five others
were severely injured and left in critical condition. In the
aftermath of the massacre, the Amish community shunned the media.
But they requested that Amish-raised counselor Jonas Beiler come to
the scene to offer his moral and spiritual support. In Think No
Evil, Beiler offers his first-person account of the events, as well
as of those who were closest to the scene: the surviving children,
the volunteer fireman Rob Beiler, the local counseling center
director Brad Aldricha, and Vietta Zook, aboard the first ambulance
to arrive. Beiler poignantly describes the Amish families'
responses to this horrific violence as they reached out to the
shocked family members of the killer, offering unconditional
forgiveness. The story didn't end on that horrible day with the
deaths of those five little girls. Think No Evil follows the
ongoing story of this gentle community having faith in God's
design, of truly demonstrating Christian values, of responding with
resilient love in the face of evil, of demolishing the scene of the
murders and rebuilding the schoolhouse, and of determining to move
forward in living out their faith in peace.
Finally, a man with the answers to the questions women ask about
men! Following two decades of research into the brains and
behaviour of men, Michael Gurian answers the questions every woman
is longing to have answered and gives them the knowledge they need
to have good relations with the opposite sex. Michael Gurian
presents a new vision of the male psyche that will satisfy the
tremendous curiosity women have about male behaviour, answering
questions such as: Why are men obsessed with electronic gadgets?
Why can't men see the house is a mess? Why do men watch TV instead
of talking about what's bothering them? Why do men get such a kick
out of watching mindless action films? Why can men remember the
names of football players, who scored and when, but not yesterday's
conversation? Why do men enjoy racing their cars through red
lights? Why do men put much of their identity in their work? Why do
men tend to get more workoholic after they have kids? Why don't men
notice when a house is messy or dusty? Michael Gurian makes a
profound statement about the role of men in modern culture and
suggests a way for men and women to thrive together in intimate
separateness.
