One of the most powerful books I've ever read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Burden of a Secret (Hardcover)
Rev. Allen shows each of us that forgiveness is possible with the help of God and our faith. This is an incredible story of a courageous family through one of the largest cruelties of life. The author also share his vision as to what church and Christianity is really about and how to aspire a more Christian heart toward humanity.
