November - Let It Go: A True Story of Tragedy and Forgiveness by Chris Williams

Jen J has chosen a different book for us to review. Some of us may be familiar with the story through the media. I think this will be a wonderful book for us to end the year on. Another change is the date - We will hold November's book club on Thursday, November 29 due to Thanksgiving the previous week. Jennifer has a limited number of books to loan out so let us know if you would like to read it and she'll get it to you ASAP. Looks like a truly inspirational and uplifting book:


Let It Go: A True Story of Tragedy and Forgiveness

On a cold February night in 2007, a devoted father of four and a seventeen-year-old drunk driver both received life sentences. In one violent, devastating instant, both faced a drastically different - and uncertain - future. But as Chris Williams sat in his demolished vehicle, staring at the car that had just caused the death of his wife, his unborn baby, his eleven-year-old son, and his nine-year-old daughter, he committed to do something extraordinary: he would forgive.

That decision launched Chris on a journey toward healing that impacted his family and friends, the young man who had caused the accident, and an entire community - a community that would face another deadly tragedy just a few days later.

Chris's message of empowering forgiveness is an invitation to all who have suffered, however unjustly, to lay down their burdens and let it go.
