FORGIVING MY DAUGHTER'S KILLER: A True Story of Loss, Faith, and Unexpected Grace BY Kate Grosmaire


Forgiving My Daughter’s Killer is a powerful story of forgiveness.  When Kate Grosmaire’s daughter is shot by her boyfriend, the last thing one would expect is one of the first things Grosmaire offers: her forgiveness.  Faced with the loss of her daughter, she is able to step across the line of anger and embrace the young man and his family in a cloak of forgiveness. 

We all read about forgiveness being important – not just for the person being forgiven – but, for the person doing the forgiving.  Many books have been written about the subject of forgiveness, but this one is one of the most well-written stories I have ever read on the subject.  Kate Grosmaire tells the story in such a poignant manner that it is impossible to stand outside the store or remain indifferent.  While the subject was a tough one and the story heart-breaking, I found myself so engrossed in the book that I could not put it down.  Thank you, Mrs. Grosmaire for sharing your story and your strength.

20 SHORT ONES by Dan Salerno
 
 
This is a collection of short stories - perfect for the busy mind or the person who only has short periods to read and do not want to commit to a longer book.  The stories are engaging - the characters life-like.
 
 
I really enjoyed this collection of short stories.  They were full of conversations and relationship issues that many of us have faced.  They are wholesome stories - a book I could hand to any one of my friends or family members.
