Is it possible to forgive someone who has hurt you in the worst way? On our own, it may seem like something that is impossible to do, but with GOD, all things are possible. John has brought forward a story that hits close to home for far too many people these days. It's a story of tragedy, yet through God's grace, it also becomes a story of healing and redemption when we allow Him to work in our lives. It deals with a subject that many don't want to acknowledge or know how to deal with. This story is loosely inspired by true events and is upsetting, but also points us to the Way* in which we can find freedom and healing. God bless you all. -Paul Steiner Pastor New Heart Christian Church Lebanon, TN *"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'" (John 14:6, NIV).
