About the book:

Letters from My Father‘s Murderer: A Journey of Forgiveness (Kregel, June 2015)

When her father was murdered, Laurie Coombs sought justice and found it.

His murderer now serves two life sentences with no possibility of parole. Yet, despite the swift punishment of the killer, Laurie found herself increasingly full of pain, bitterness, and anger she couldn’t control. After coming to faith, she realized she was being called to seek something infinitely more difficult than justice: forgiveness.

This is an extraordinary true story of grace, mercy, and the redemptive power of God to change lives. The reader is swept along with Laurie as she undergoes the life-changing transformation of becoming a Christian. As she studies Scripture, seeing God redeeming losses and healing deep wounds time and time again, she starts to understand that her own healing would require her to love her enemy in a real, practical way.

Using her incredible correspondence with the man who killed her father, Laurie reveals a compelling journey of transformation, not only in her life, but in the lives of those whom many would call irredeemable.

Letters from My Father‘s Murderer is for any audience Christian or secular who

-Craves freedom from the inability to forgive those who’ve caused them harm 
-Wants to hear testimony of God’s power in our obedience 
-Has experienced pain through other’s sin against them 
-Needs to know healing is always possible

The real story here is not primarily about murder and its fallout, but rather about redemption and how far it can reach.

My thoughts:
 
Wow.  This book took me a while to read.  I mean really took me a while.  It’s not one you can just pick up and read straight through.  At least not for me.  This is a book I had to read and then think on for a while.  It needed some thought and some prayer.  It’s powerful ladies and it’s going to shake you to your core.  Because you may think it’s not so important to forgive or you said you did so you did.  But did you really?  Did you really forgive that one person for getting the last of your favorite cookie on a hard day?  Did you really forgive the best friend who betrayed you?  This book is going to challenge you to rethink whether you have truly forgiven and why true forgiveness is so important.
