As the wife of the shooter at the Nickel Mines Amish Schoolhouse, the media have been asking Marie Monville to tell her story. Now she does so in a way that points readers to God’s beautiful redemptive and tangible love.
In the startling tragedy of the Amish schoolhouse shooting at Nickel Mines, one story has never been told. Now 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 realised that life, as she knew it, was over. What she never anticipated was a tangible encounter with God reaching into her circumstances, and rewriting all she believed about herself, her faith, and the God she thought she knew. A 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 onto the questions we all ask about our past, our value, our identity, and our own powerlessness in this fallen world.
