One Light Still Shines

My Life Beyond the Shadow of the Amish Schoolhouse Shooting

By: Marie Monville, Cindy Lambert

Narrated by: Julia Tracy

"My story is not about my past, but about your future."

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, of madness and destruction, but also one of deliverance, compassion, forgiveness and beauty.

Marie Monville knew that day that life, as she knew it, was over. What she never anticipated was a personal encounter with God that would rewrite all she believed about herself, her faith, and the God she thought she knew. The Milkman's Daughter reveals three love stories: the innocent love of a milkman's daughter for a husband in pain, the incomprehensible love of God in the aftermath of massacre and destruction, and the promise-filled love of God 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, and these pages shine that light 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 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.
