This according to my 11 year old .   See, the Diary of a Whimpy Kid book series is probably the only book series he’s ever read, liked, LOVED!  He has read them through and through, and today the Movie comes out on DVD.

I, of course, am happy that he’s reading. He is super excited that the movie is finally on DVD.   To bad he’s a Boy Scout camp for a week and can’t pester me to go get it.  We didn’t get a chance to see it in the theaters.  One thing led to another, y no se pudo…. So I know the first thing he’s going to ask for is this movie.

Kraybill, Steven M. Nolt, and David L. Weaver-Zercher, Amish Grace chronicles the community of Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, forever changed when a gunman senselessly takes the lives of five girls in a schoolhouse shooting before taking his own life in October of 2006. What transpires takes the town by storm, as the media descend on the city and criticize its Amish leaders for their notion of unconditional forgiveness and their outreach of support to the gunman’s widow. Through the eyes of a grieving mother, Ida Graber (Kimberly Williams-Paisley; Father of the Bride films, ”According to Jim”), and other devastated families, the film explores the Amish community’s astonishing reaction of compassion to the horrific events that shook their town and tested their faith.
