One Light Still Shines

My Life Beyond the Shadow of the Amish Schoolhouse Shooting

De: Cindy Lambert, Marie Monville

Narrado por: Julia Barnett-Tracy

My story is not about my past, but about your future, says Marie Roberts Monville. In the startling tragedy of the Amish schoolhouse shooting at Nickel Mines, one story has never been told; Marie Roberts Monville, the wife of the man who created such horror, tells her story for the very first time. It is a story of sorrow and destruction, but also one of majestic deliverance, unending compassion, breathtaking forgiveness, and grace-filled redemption. Within a solitary moment, Marie Monville realized that life, as she knew it, was over. What she never anticipated was a tangible encounter with God reaching into her circumstances, through them rewriting all she believed about herself, her faith, and the God she thought she knew.

One Light Still Shines reveals three love stories: the innocent love of a devoted wife for a husband in pain, the incomprehensible love of God in the aftermath of massacre and destruction, and the redemptive love of Christ, waiting to unfold in the life of every person who reads this book. Marie's journey since that darkest of days has been invaded with light which shines through these pages into the darkest questions we all face - questions about our past, our value, our identity, and own powerlessness in this fallen world. Come face to face with the power behind every answer - a love that begs to be received.

A beautiful story of forgiveness

Forgiveness in the darkest of moments. How forgiveness is received by one left to deal with the aftermath. God showed His grace to this family through a tragedy that shook an entire community.
As I read this is though a lot about Brian Laundries family. How different it could be if community came together with love.

Encouraging

I loved this read. Such hope in life’s dark times. Uplifting and inspiring giving grace when it doesn’t seem possible

You will not be disappointed

This story was so well told. Marie is a fabulous author and you can feel each word that was wrote. I cried several times as I listened to her book. It changed the way I view grief and also gave me a fresh perspective on my relationship with Jesus. You won’t want to miss reading this powerful, grace filled story full of redemption.

Sad, yet so inspiring true life account.

Such a sad, yet inspirational true life story of how, totally leaning on God, he will help us to truly forgive.

Deep faith in God

I admire Marie's ability to cope with the events out of her control, land on her feet and move on through her reliance on her faith and her family. I have never been religious, which has been my own choice, but through this book, I better understand those who are.

Good message about God's love

I wanted to love this story but instead I thought it was just ok. It was long and winded. Parts drawn out unnecessarily. The love and compassion of the Amish in their time of grief was amazing. And the grace God showed her was what I believe. The whole story was just to drawn out which made it hard to want to continue reading.

Heart wrenching and beautiful

A sad and beautiful story of grace, faith and healing. All glory to God for his peace and strength throughout tragedy

Okay

I appreciate all that the author has gone through and the Amish family. However, I found the constant "sermon" too much. Too fanciful, too magical, and too overdone.
