Straight from the headlines comes an incredible true story of a son's treachery. For the first time, readers are offered inside access to the emotional drama that went on behind the scenes. At the core is the remarkable healing power of forgiveness, demonstrated by Kent Whitaker, which shows how the survivors of such atrocious events can still forgive those who have permanently damaged their lives.One evening, the Whitaker family returned home after dinner, celebrating a son's impending graduation from college. On opening the front door, they faced a gunman lying in wait. The gunman opened fire, instantly killing the younger sonand Kent's wife, leaving Kent and his older son lying wounded until police and ambulances arrived. While recovering in the hospital, Kent resolved in his heart to forgive whoever was responsible for the deaths of his wife and son.Over the next few weeks, it was discovered that the whole murder plot had been orchestrated by the surviving son -- whom Kent had unknowingly forgiven. After a trial that resulted in a death sentence for his son, Kent emerged from this harrowing ordeal to share their astonishing journey toward forgiveness and redemption.

The King of Denial...too improbable to believe...
By B. Ryan
Should you read this book? If you are interested in true crime as I am and in particular, interested in reading about murders that take place among family members, then I think you would be interested in reading this book. This is not a great book but it is interesting. It is an attempt to delve into the mind of a father who is hurting and who has an unconditional love for his son. The book is riddled with excuse after excuse after excuse for the murdering son Bart but comes down heavily on the young man who actually pulled the trigger. I, myself, had a lot of difficulty reading this book. I have children who are around the same age as Bart when he commissioned this heinous crime. I am not a forgiving person and so, as I read this book, I was very frustrated and found myself wincing several times (for example, when Bart was about to get married). If one of my children committed a crime of this magnitude against me or his/her siblings, I would hope that my spouse wouldn't presume to speak for me in death - I don't want to go to Disney World early (Kent Whitaker's take on his wife and son's deaths). I'm not sure I'm giving you my Death Penalty opinion or giving a book review. Am I talking about justice or forgiveness? I had to read this book - I will read every book that comes out about Bart Whitaker - a scary person who now regrets his actions (thank goodness for Rudy Rios or a murderer would still be loose). I can only think about his brother Kevin and how he lost his young life due to hate and selfishness (quite frankly, even after reading the book, I'm still not sure why all this happened). As a parent, I did learn a few lessons from this book - for example, don't be too generous with your kids - they may misinterpret your generosity. I wish Kent wrote a more comprehensive book. I wanted to get the whole story - did Bart get along with his mom and brother, how much trouble did he get into, what were his friends like, were drugs involved? This book is not enlightening. It skimmed the surface. It could have been so much better. A far better read is "Shot in the Heart" by Mikal Gilmore, the brother of killer Gary Gilmore. Although Gary did not kill a family member, Mikal Gilmore does provide a well-written story of a dysfunctional family with a killer as a member of the family. I believe all families are dysfunctional - but I wanted to know what caused Bart to do this extreme act of violence. Your jaw will drop and you'll be scratching your head over this one. Although the book was probably terribly painful for Kent Whitaker to write, if I were him, I would have done extensive interviews with all the players - Marshall Slot (the lead detective), Fred Felcman (the prosecutor), Bart's fiancé, Bart's friends, and especially, Bart. A final comment, I would have read this book even if all the review ratings were low, simply because it was written by Bart's dad and I guess I shouldn't forget that the book was really about forgiveness. I do appreciate that Kent Whitaker is donating the proceeds of this book to charity.

True Story
By systems therapist
wow. i finished this book in 3 sittings. it was impossible to put it down. the unraveling of this story was absolutely an incredible process of unimaginable events. it was hard for me to understand why kent whitaker wrote this book. as i've researched into it, the situation seems that "it is his dog, he doesn't want anyone else to kick it..." Kent has donated every penny of his revenue from this book to charity. wow... i still cannot fathom losing my whole family... his ability to continue to live a tremendous testimony to his faith...

Helps show what makes a person a psychopath
By David R. Poage
The author of this book has no doubt suffered one of the greatest trajedies that could happen to anyone. The most important word in the book, however, is "I" which may not answer why all people become psychopaths, but explains a lot in this case. The author slings mud at some of the best criminal defense attorneys in Houston, the prosecutor's office, the police and most interestingly his in laws, for whom he relied on for a job for over 30 years. By his own admission he told his son where he could get money to flee the country. Several items are particularly noteworthy-he seems more concerned about never having grandchildren, than having one son dead and one in prison. He shows hardly any compassion for his dying wife who apparently was still alive when she was taken to the hospital. He runs down the Texas prison system ("no Holiday Inn"). His son is a murder and we taxpayers have to pay for ridding him from society so he won't kill anyone else. It is ludicrous how he repeatedly equates himself to David in the Bible. What he doesn't tell us is his repeated failures as a father. A kid growing up who repeatedly broke into school, who had tried to kill his family several times before succeeding, dropped out of college without his parents even knowing about it and who did who knows how many other bad things before murdering his family. Even in the end the author focuses on himself-llok at what a great guy I am for forgiving my son and now I spend my time feeding the poor. We can learn a lot from this book about our society-"I" parents produce "I" kids.
