I give the author 5 stars for surviving and then finding some good out of a devastating and brutal event. I appreciate the author being able to find peace and a purpose after such a traumatic night. Personally I believe it would have taken me much longer than 8 months to heal, both mentally and emotionally. Every one is different though and the book tells an interesting accounting. I read this in a day. I was expecting it to be heavy faith wise and that was true. I was fascinated by the author's ability to forgive. I'm not certain I buy it completely but I do hope for the best for him. I think I will read another accounting of this crime. I am interested in hearing more about Erin's involvement. I do think the author, out of love, kind of glossed over her role. I would like to see what someone who has no emotional tie to anyone has to say. The book is a compelling read. I found it interesting that the author talks about his own lack of faith while at the same time he presented a very faithful face to his family and friends. I thought that was pretty telling in how he processes things and could be a factor in his rapid healing. I think most people would go through a time of being angry at God and I appreciated his sharing of how he reconciled that. I just can't help wondering if he didn't push down and bury some of his feelings, even though he did go through counseling.… (meer)
