More About This Book

Overview

On a cold February night in 2007, a devoted father of four and a seventeen-year-old drunk driver both received life sentences. In one violent, devastating instant, both faced a drastically different-and uncertain-future. But as Chris Williams sat in his demolished vehicle, staring at the car that had just caused the death of his wife, his unborn baby, his nine-year-old daughter, and his eleven-year-old son, he committed to do something extraordinary: he would forgive. That decision launched Chris on a journey toward healing that affected his family and friends, the young man who caused the accident, and an entire community-a community that would face another deadly tragedy just a few days later. Chris's message of forgiveness is an empowering invitation to all who have suffered, however unjustly, to lay down their burdens and let it go.

    Wow!

    I felt so small after reading this book. I cannot begin to fathom this man's faith and ability to forgive--let it go. I don't think I could right away as he did. The uplifting part to me was Cameron's time in detention and this incident didn't send him further down the wrong path. He did change, is working on it and has chosen to turn a tragedy into a positive by speaking to young adults about the dangers of under age drinking. I would have liked to hear more of Cameron's experience but perhaps he will write a book about his experience one day. God Bless you all for what you have experienced and for sharing your story!

    This is an amazing Christian story of Grace and Forgiveness. It

    This is an amazing Christian story of Grace and Forgiveness. It has
    changed my life. We need more love, tolerance and forbearance in the
    world - less labeling, impatience and hatred. That was the point of the
    bible - and that is the point of this story; to seek redemption by grace
    - and love and forgive our brother or sister - especially when they
    offend us. To the person who gave this a one star rating because it's
    "a mormon story", it is hard to kick against the pricks isn't
    it. If by their fruits ye shall know them, then perhaps this Mormon is
    one of the best examples of being a true Christian that you could hope
    to find. God bless him and his family for this Christlike example of
    true love.
