When
Bill and Cindy Griffiths learned that their eleven-year-old
daughter and Cindy's mom had died in a car accident, they
were catapulted into the deepest anguish they had ever known.
And when they learned the driver was drunk--severly so, at
7:30 in the morning--their pain only intensified. Forgiving
the driver seemed out of the question.
Yet as Bill and Cindy ached to understand their loss and clung
desperately to God's promises of faithfulness, they knew that
harboring bitterness toward the driver would only compound
their grief.
Through
time and prayer, they began to see Verma Harrison as not just
a drunken killer, but a woman God deeply loved and has brought
into their lives for a purpose.
The Road to Forgiveness is an amazing story of how the Griffiths
forgave and eventually befriended the very person who had
torn their loved ones from them. Their words are a compelling
example of how God can transform the most tragic circumstances
for His glory and how, ultimately, His love conquers all.
