I understand where the author was coming from but I also feel like she felt we should feel worse for her than the victim's family and I personally just couldn't do it. ( )

Sometimes we make sacrifices to help us get ahead, to allow us more time with family, or because we believe in the cause. And then there are sacrifices in which we have no say--"Isaac experiences" as in genesis 22-thrust upon u without warning or survival instructions.
This book outlines eight transformational power principles that Gene and Carol dent learned in the process of facing the news that forever changed their lives. Their twenty-five-year-old son, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy with an impeccable military record, shot and killed his wife's ex-husband. Jason Paul Kent, long recognized for his exemplary character, now walks a path no one could have predicted-and his family lives in the aftermath of a devastation most cannot imagine.

Carol's candid retelling of her emotional and spiritual agony will touch your heart. The principles the Kents learned in the process of surviving such unspeakable circumstances will bolster your faith, renew your hope, and challenge you to new levels of personal and spiritual commitment.
