Trigger warning: True Crime, Murder
It's a sensitive subject, it may be triggering, even emotional.
Today I chat with Debbi Edwards and Shannon Musa, co-authors of the book, Justice & Mercy: A healed heart.
The Edwards Family's life changed forever in December of 1991 when their son Eric was murdered. We chat about Debbi's journey through the unspeakable pain, the justice, years of soul-searching and finally total forgiveness and friendship of the man that killed her son 35 years ago.
I believe that this story can change our look on forgiveness and mercy. Debbi is a great example of our Savior and how we need to and CAN forgive others. Shannon did a great job of expressing Debbi's story. I appreciate both of them for taking the time to share.
