Salty Like Blood

By Harry Lee Kraus

Description:

David Conners, M.D., is on the fast track to creating a perfect life when his seven-year-old daughter disappears. David's all-consuming quest to find her -- dead or alive -- threatens to destroy everything he has left: his medical practice, his marriage, his integrity, and even his soul.
If Rachel is dead: Can a parent forgive someone who has done the unthinkable?

Can David forgive himself?

If she's alive: Can David find her in time to save her?

Book Takeaway:

The theme of the book is forgiveness. The costliness of forgiveness, that God's forgiveness requires blood. Forgiveness takes hard work, often sweaty (salty). Forgiveness is salty....like blood.

Why the author wrote this book:

I was intrigued with the idea of whether a parent could forgive the "unforgivable." I was particularly interested in the tension and emotion that would be present if I could bring a parent and the presumed kidnapper/abuser. Could a Christian forgive?
