Böcker av Joseph Gibson

When the phone rang at their home one snowy January morning, the Gibson family learned that their lives would never be the same. Their youngest child, a twenty-year-old daughter named Rebekah, had her life cut short at the hands of an enraged killer. What followed for her family could only be described as a living nightmare. And it certainly was for Nancy Jo, Rebekah's mother. But somehow, in the midst of this anguish, Nancy Jo made her way down a path of forgiveness-for the murderer, for those who defended him . . . and ultimately for herself. And in finding forgiveness, she found peace. In this recounting of the years surrounding Rebekah's murder, Nancy Jo-along with insights from her son Joseph-gives an honest view of the heartache, shock, fury, and unthinkable grief following her child's murder. But she also shares the hope and comfort that carried her when she ran into the tender arms of a loving God, who is equal parts justice and mercy. For those who have answered their own life-changing phone call, this book offers you the same healing Nancy Jo describes. And for those who haven't, you'll feel like you have walked beside this family, through both their trauma and their triumph, and you'll never be the same again. . . .
