Ilustration In Favor Of Books Murder by Family: The Incredible True Story of a Son's Treachery and a Father's Forgiveness

I picked up the book after seeing the '48 Hours' episode on television. While the story is heartbreaking, the book is hopeful. Kent Whitaker manages to relate the murder of his wife and younger son while leaning heavily upon his faith in God. His older son choreographed these murders, hoping to include his father as one of the dead. Instead, his father survives to tell an amazing tale of forgiveness.
His writing is exceptional. I was certain that there must be a ghostwriter who would be acknowledged at the end of the book, but there wasn't.
The beauty of this book is that anyone can appreciate the shock and despair felt by Whitaker. Here is a man with a strong faith. He goes a step further and actually practices what he professes to believe. Even without faith in God, any reader would benefit from reading Kent's rendering of his older son's problems, the murders, and the trial that followed. Whitaker epitomizes what it means to truly forgive someone.

Notice Containing Books Murder by Family: The Incredible True Story of a Son's Treachery and a Father's Forgiveness

I applaud Kent Whitaker for undertaking this book, and recognize and respect the difficulty that he had in its writing, and toeing that line between support of his son, forgiveness, and navigating a path through healing.HOWEVER, I struggled with whether I could give this book 2 stars. I read it in less than 24 hours as it was written as a very low reading level. Normally a book (whether fiction or memoir) is written with some semblance of chronology (even if the book jumps around a lot, you can

I read this book in one sitting, it was that gripping, Any true account of children killing family members is especially horrific. Whitaker the father writes the account as if he is currently living the experience. He captures the emotional strain of an incredible situation, first thinking his whole family has been shot to death, then wondering about the rumors of his son's involvement. Now as the lone family member he must be his son's advocate even though his heart is crushed. Whitaker is

This was a true story of two sons in a family. One son was leading a double life and was extremely mixed up. I read the book in one day. To me it was unbeliveable or incredible how no one in the family knew how he felt all those years. It held my interest. I was very impressed with the attitude of the Father.

First, let me say that this "story" is a tragedy.My neighbor loaned me this book because it is about a family whose house is across the street from me. My neighbor (and friend) happened to be very good friends with the family, especially the mother Trish. Unfortunately, this is a heartbreaking true story. I only gave it a three star rating because of my "feelings". This is not a reflection on the author's writing. It is pretty well written for a non-writer.There is a section where the father

The story itself is gripping; the writing in the book is just OK. A family of four is attacked by a gunman one evening upon returning home from a family dinner. The mother and younger son are killed; the father and older son just injured. The father decides in the hospital to forgive the murderer -- whoever he may be -- and later learns that his own son (the injured one) plotted the whole thing. The book is very religious in nature as the father discusses how he was able to forgive despite

Murder by Family by Kent Whitaker is an unbelievable story of betrayal and forgiveness. What would you do if someone killed your spouse and child, shooting you as well? Could you forgive? Could you do it if you found out that it was your other child? Kent Whitaker faced just that dilemma. Returning home one night after celebrating his eldest son Bart's graduation from college, his life changed forever. He heard a shot when younger son Kevin walked into the house, another as his wife stepped

An interesting story, because for once I dealt with the religious aspects quite well. I admire how Kent's faith helped him, without understanding or relating to it. I honestly might have preferred reading about this story secondhand, because this isn't a case I'd heard of previously. I find I can read true crime, but prefer a more gentle memoir or biography. Reading crime reminds me of my father, who seemed to only read Australian history, crime and Native American books. These he devored, and
