I first read this book as an elementary student when it was first published, and now again as a student at Harvard University. It remains a powerful testament to man's forgiveness and courage.

This book inspired me so much that after reading it I resolved never to be ungrateful again and live life with a sense of value for it. The faith of Mr Steven and his wife is amazing. They are indeed remarkable people. The book is written in a very simple manner and touches the heart because of the truthfulness in it. I hope God keeps giving these two people strength to keep going on. This book has made me realize how lucky I am to have so much.

The story of Steven McDonald and his family is simultaneous heartbreaking and exhilarating. His capacity for forgiveness stretches the boundaries of human imagination and puts many of us to shame.

In the book, the McDonalds discuss their friendship with actress Maureen O'Hara who states that her dream is to one day march with Officer McDonald the entire length of New York City's St. Patrick's Day Parade. Let's hope and pray its not too long before modern medicine works the miracle that will make her dream a reality.
