Synopsis

Desiring to care deeply for the children and youth of their church, pastors Will and Irene Peace find themselves intricately involved with a family whose ten children have been severely affected by a web of violence and abuse. When two of the children are picked up by Social Services because of the abuse, Will and Irene become foster parents, hoping they can protect the children and provide a safe environment where they can begin to heal. Irene shares the struggles she and her husband experience after learning of their own children's abuse at the hand of one of their foster daughters.

About this title

About the Author:

Irene Rebecca Peace and her husband Will have had the privilege of serving the Lord together for over 20 years. God has blessed them with two wonderful children, Charis and Joshua, who bring them endless delight and joy. Irene graduated from the University of Colorado with a B.A. in English Literature. She spent a semester studying with John Stott at the London Institute of Christianity before continuing her theological education at Fuller Theological Seminary where she received both her Masters of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees. Irene thanks God for His loving faithfulness through the many difficulties she and her family have faced: "Nothing can compare to the love of Christ who is able to bring hope and healing to our broken hearts."

Review:

"A beautiful (and true) rendering of how forgiveness can bring healing and restore joy in even the most painful experiences... Those who have experienced deep violation and abuse will find this true story of God's redemption through forgiveness a balm for their own wounds..."
Dana Wichterman, BFF of the author
"Told with truth and heart, this is the journey of one family's struggle with that worst parents fear: abuse of their own children. Striking and resonant, their amazing story of forgiveness and hope is an inspiration to all."
S. Freele, Author and Editor
"Suffering is hard enough, but when those closest to you suffer, it can rip you apart. Read how one family chose, by God's grace, the hard but higher road to turn 'bitter' into 'better.'"
