Pocket Guide to the Popes Book

I found this book to be very repetative and dull. While the concept is interesting, the execution left a lot to be desired. The first third of the book tells of the events leading up to, during and immediately after the Nickels Mines schoolhouse tragedy. The last 2/3 is where the authors discuss forgiveness as practised by the Amish. It had the potential to be interesting but just didn't deliver. It seemed as if I was reading the same things over and over again, just worded differently, or using a different example. Every once in a while I would read a paragraph or two that really made me think about forgiveness and my faith so it wasn't a complete loss, but still....

With more organization and many fewer pages this could have been an interesting book or article but just didn't do much for me as it was.
