DESCRIPTION

The reality of hatred...the power of forgiveness...

Life can be hard...and when tragedy invades the serenity and calm of a family borne out of innocence and a purity purged in the fires of God, it can be very very painful indeed. 

Questions tumbled out...accusations thrown into the empty night sky...countenance once so adorned with radiance now enveloped in darkness, despair and griping bitterness. That was what happened to one family...in a twinkling of an eye scenes of death flashed across your eyes as you witness the untimely gruesome deaths of your daughter and your own mother. Visions of death...and blindness of anguish. 

One may wonder why it ever happened. One may scream at the utter hopelessness in the hands of a drunken driver ramming through in the midst of screeches and shrieking cacophony, only to end the lives of the ones you hold so dear...

Cindy Griffiths had her daughter and her mom killed so chillingly in the hands of a drunken driver. She could have just destroyed her life by embattling in rage and bitterness...she could have just allowed hatred to seep into the crevices of her heart and eat her out.

But the love of God and the forgiveness of Christ enliven all that. This timely book is an intimate account of how Bill and Cindy Griffiths tread on their road of bitterness to forgiveness. Of how they learned to embrace their anger...and to love even the very stranger who killed their beloved.

It is difficult. It is almost impossible.

But with God...all things are possible to him who believes...
