| Summary |
"A true story of racial reconciliation and radical forgiveness. With all the disturbing news about race relations in America, here's a true story of reconciliation and the redemptive power of the gospel. How can you possibly forgive the man who falsely arrested you for a crime you did not commit? After years in prison, during a chance encounter with the crooked police officer, a young African American man named Jameel McGee faced such a dilemma: Would he violently take revenge or peacefully walk away? Mulling the agonizing choice, Jameel heard the now familiar whisper in his soul--let it go. He listened and chose forgiveness, setting in motion a transforming miracle. In the days and months that followed, the men first achieved reconciliation, then through the power of Christ-like love, became friends. This stunning true story provides a path forward for all who desire the healing, hope, and respect for others that have eluded our nation far too long."--Jacket. |
