Review "If you long to understand and experience true forgiveness, don't miss this book. It will give you renewed hope, fresh faith, and a platform upon which you can build redemption, restoration, and a new kind of normal." (Carol Kent, speaker and author of When I Lay My Isaac Down 2015-06-27)"I stand amazed! Letters from My Father's Murderer examines the darkness within all of our hearts and exposes how light can shine brightly, even in the darkest places, when we seek to find the truth. The real truth." (Tammy Whitehurst, founder of Joy for the Journey 2015-06-27)"Read this book carefully; you will probably discover some lies buried in your own heart." (Dan Frank, lead pastor of Grace Church, Reno, Nevada 2015-06-27)"This book is about the meaning of true forgiveness, swapping bitterness for joy, and above all, God's fathomless grace. What readers will especially appreciate is the interweaving of Coombs's understandable pain, confusion, and fear with showing what God can do when an individual is submitted to Him and willing to walk with Him through what may seem an impossible circumstance. Highly recommended." (CBA Retailers+Resources 2015-06-15)"Readers will feel Coombs's agonizing pain but can also rejoice with her as she finds freedom from a lifetime of anger and resentment through true forgiveness." (Publishers Weekly 2015-05-11)

By jkelly821 I recently read Letters From my Father's Murderer by Laurie Coombs, and I have to say that it was, ironically, such an inspirational story. While it is not everyday you run into someone who has experienced the murder of one of their parents, the main message from this book runs much deeper. My Bachelor's in Psychology gets the best of me when it comes to deciphering human behavior, especially when it comes to murder. I am always interested to hear the back-story, as rarely is a murder committed by a stranger. That drew me into this book. I really wanted to hear what happened, and understand the meaning behind a willful correspondence between a daughter and her father's murder. What kept me reading was the powerful message of forgiveness.When Laurie's father is murdered, she goes through a very religiously dark time. As time passes, she begins to explore her feelings through God's guidance. She needs closure, and via much thought and prayer, comes to the conclusion that she needs to reach out to her father's murderer to get the full story of what happened the evening of the murder. While there are many obstacles in the road that prevent this from being a smooth journey, Laurie remains steadfast in her faith in God and his example to forgive our enemies. This experience is told through Laurie's perspective, as well as the letters exchanged between her and her father's murderer.I could barely put this book down! As much as I wanted to find out why her father was murdered, I was equally as drawn to the underlying message of forgiveness, redemption, and most of all, healing by following the path of God. One quote that stuck out to me in this book was "It's not about whether you check the 'Christian' box on a survey, but whether your belief is backed by the power of the living God." (p. 93) I think this spoke to me because I see so many "box checkers" these days, and fewer individuals who actually try to live and behave as God intended. We are encouraged to love our enemies, which seems like such a difficult task. This proves to be the case, as seen when Laurie navigates her own journey of forgiveness. The amount of strength and perseverance Laurie shows throughout her experience is miraculous. I'm so glad that she shared her story the way she did, as I feel it could speak volumes to anyone who reads it. It gives you a very positive impression of forgiveness, and reminds us all that 1-forgiveness allows for our own healing and 2-that forgiveness does not equate to the acceptance of sinful acts.Disclosure: I was given a complimentary copy of this book to facilitate an honest review.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. I found this book is so easy to read and gripping every time I read it By Ben Fleming I bought 20 copies of this book. I donated 16 copies to the prison where the murderer lives. This is a such a personal story to me since the murderer turned himself into me 15 min after he committed the murder. Laurie's story has been used by God to bring many to give and receive forgiveness. I found this book is so easy to read and gripping every time I read it. She does such an excellent job of dealing with forgiveness, what it is and what it is not. She did not avoid any area of the story as I knew it. I have used the book to help others who are dealing with unforgiveness. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.Pastor Ben FlemingSilver Hills Community Church
