I read this book after a guest speaker spoke to us about the foundation mentioned in this book. I just loved the father attutide towards all this. It was such a tragedy not just for his family but for others involved. And, I can't get over his attitudes towards the person that killed his son. I totally agree with him and not the book itself but the story behind the book really changed my life.

This book helped me. It is so heartfelt and well-written. The amazing story of the reconciliation of the grandfather of a murder perpetrator, and the father of the victim. Explains principles of restorative justice -- a whole new way of approaching violent crimes. Social workers, lawyers, teachers, police officers, judges should read this.

This book takes the reader on a journey from the struggle of dealing with the deep pain that arose when a father's son was murdered, to finding the transformative power of forgiveness. For those who find it hard to imagine such a leap, this is a must read. For those who have experienced it, it is confirmation.

It was a good book, very inspirational. It was very well written, since both sides were explained very well. Such a tradgedy should be more publicized, since the young kids in the world are just going to keep on doing the same thing. It was a great book, I couldn't put it down.
