*Just so you know, I am doing book reviews now, so I will periodically be doing book reviews on this blog and posting them on Amazon and other places.
Forgiving my Daughter's Killer:
Written by Kate Grosmaire
This book touched my heart so deeply as I read about Kate's daughter and how she was killed and the forgiveness this mother has for her killer. I can't imagine the pain she has gone through and the soul searching she went through to be able to forgive Ann's killer.
Her amazing words to the killer, "....I forgive you" are so powerful and I cried through the entire book. Being able to reach within her heart and have a relationship with God to be able to forgive is inspiring and amazing.
Ann was killed by her boyfriend, Conor, at the age of 19 in the state of Florida. Her family knew that if they held onto hatred, they would end up shriveling up their souls and dying without peace themselves. Choosing to trust God and believe He still loved them took a lot of effort, but in the end, they knew it would give them the peace they needed. Forgiveness didn't release Conor from the crime he committed; it released them from the hatred they felt, so they could live their lives in the Joy of the Lord.
The theme of the book is pretty much about how they found forgiveness, their own struggle to find an maintain that and how they continually have to keep forgiving Conor.
