Transforming Darkness to Light, for Giving

Book excerpt: My father is a serial killer. I was his confidante as he planned and committed several murders. He enjoyed telling me about them. He also used me to help destroy evidence. Is it possible to make sense of what we perceive as tragic and unforgivable events in our lives? What could murder, pain, suffering and insanity possibly have to do with peace, freedom and a loving God? And the even bigger more personal question that many of us ask ourselves when tragedy strikes our lives is why me? The answers to these questions may surprise you. This is a true story about a father and his son. It is about a journey through hell that led to heaven. It is about faith, miracles, courage, forgiveness and overcoming tragedy. It is about the freedom that can always be found in our darkest moments. It is about how to get there . . . from here. . . . . . . . Travis Vining is the real deal. His faith is profound and his teaching in this book could change your life and the lives of everyone you know. Read it You'll rise up and call me blessed for having recommended it to you.
