SO GREAT A LOVE EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH
This is an example of Almighty God's love for all of us, if we simply come to Him, as did Karla with her horrible past and asking for foregiveness and surrendering her life to him, we can also know that same foregiveness and love by surrendering our hearts to our ALMIGHTY LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER and He WILL FOREGIVE and make us clean too. Sin is sin!!This is the ultimate love of God, not that we loved Him, but that He loved us and sent His only son to the cross for one reason, to take our filthy sins upon himself and died for us, HE PAID IT ALL SO WE CAN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE WITH HIM IF WE ACCEPT HIS SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS. AMAZING GRACE, HOW SWEET THE SOUND THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME. THE ULTIMATE OFGOD'S LOVE AND FOREGIVENESS. JESUS PAID IT ALL, ALL TO HIM I OWE.POWER OF FOREGIVENESS---KARLA FAYE TUCKER

Moving Tribute to the Power of Forgiveness
This is a short documentary, but well worth it. It is the profoundly moving account of one man, Ron Carlson, and his journey toward peace and forgiveness after experiencing the murder of his sister, Deborah Thornton, by Karla Faye Tucker and her boyfriend in 1983. Karla Faye Tucker is in the documentary as well. Your heart goes out to Ron and your heart goes out to Karla. God has worked in each of their lives to reconcile them to Himself and to each other. Beautiful story filled with hope, love and the power of God to change lives. Peggy Kurtz, the sister of the other murder victim, Jerry Lynn Dean, also forgave Karla, and found peace as well. Amazing transforming power of forgiveness is seen in this film. You will not be disappointed.

Not Enough of Karla Faye Tucker in this DVD
I was somewhat disappointed with this DVD. It is less than 31 minutes and focuses more on the brother (Ron Thornton) of the slain woman than it does on Karla Faye. You only see snippets of Karla Fay throughout the short film, but they reveal her mind and heart. It is the brother and his difficulty in forgiving Karla Faye that is the focus of this film. However, if you are already convinced of the genuine transformation of this woman, seeing her voice the hope that her execution will give peace to those filled with hatred of her will reinforce your conviction of her purity of heart. The film does make an eloquent statement though of the power of forgiveness to restore peace to and uplift one's soul. Ron Thornton is proof of that.

Can God change a life?
Her life was a tragedy. Her mother lead her down the wrong road in life. Being a prostitute and drug addict herself, led an innocent 10 year old down that hell bound road. But God... intervened and, while in prison, He was able to deliver her from that lifestyle. She heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for the first time, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, Karla was set free from all addictions and a sinful lifestyle. Although it wasn't God's will that her sentence here in the earth to be commuted but, if her conversion was genuine, then she's in a better place. The Bible says, "to be absent from the body; present with the Lord."

It's all about forgiveness!
This book is compelling from the first page. It is deeply religious in nature and dramatically illustrates the power of forgiveness. It is a gripping story about the awesome freedom that is found through forgiveness. I read it in three sittings and the next day took it and gave it to a forty year old friend who has never forgiven his father for beating him and his siter as they grew up. If he will, he too can experience the freedom Karla and her victim's brother were able to experience through the forgiveness they both found in Jesus Christ. A true story you will love reading about.

Peter's thot
I was pleased with the subject matter in general and the intensity of emotion which was real and captivating. However, the quality sound was uneven. Still, with all that in mind, a gripping story of forgiveness which I recommend for all those who wish to see the breadth of God's mercy in action.
