I am also reading Jamie at Home a cookbook by Jamie Oliver. I wrote a review in this section on H&H.

Here is the cover and what Jamie wrote about it.

The only books Im reading at the moment are about organic soil management and how to improve soils, so I've got:

New Zealand Soils by H S Gibbs
Start with the Soil by Grace Gershuny
Practical Organics for New Zealand Farmers by Trisha Fisk

These are all helping me with my organic horticulture course and the assignments specifically on soil management. The course finishes in 5 weeks, and I've got 5 more assignments to do!

I am halfway through "Amish Grace-How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy". An excellent remindered of a basic foundational truth that we Christians think is a given (because we are Christians) but some do not practice. A good, simply-stated book that explores many thoughts of forgiveness that happened after this tragedy.

That sounds like a nice book.

Edited to say, that I looked it up, and the tragedy wasn't very nice. What a sad story.

www.amazon.com/Amish-Grace-Forgiveness-Transcended-Tragedy/dp/0787997617

I think it says that the incident was not gone into detail too much, so I think I would enjoy reading about the forgiveness etc. and the chapter about shunning.

I am really surprised, but my library has it, so I will get to read it in April. Thanks, happyathome.

No, the book was not graphic, though it does give the basic story of what happened. While the tragedy is the catalyst for the book, it is really about examing as well as explaining how the Amish were able to forgive so readily, that they aren't superhuman, they struggle as well, and that there is a reason it is so important not just to them and for them, but for everyone as well. I finished it last night and will probably re-read it before I return it.

I started reading it last night. I liked how they described the differences between forgiveness and reconciliation. Maybe I could type the paragraph out later.
