This powerful, true story of faith and forgiveness shows that all
of us are capable of experiencing the healing and renewal that
comes with truly forgiving another. Change of Heart follows the
transformative journey undertaken by Jeanne Bishop after the
murders of her sister and brother-in-law, a journey that challenged
Jeanne’s belief in the message of Jesus on the cross and
eventually moved her beyond simple forgiveness to the deeper waters
of redemption and grace. Jeanne’s authentic story will guide
readers past the temptation of anger and revenge, and help them
navigate the path of truly forgiving someone whose actions have
hardened their heart. From once wishing that her sister’s killer
languished in a cell for the rest of his life, Jeanne now visits
him regularly in prison and publicly advocates for his release.
"It's not okay what you did, but I am not going to hate you. I am
not going to wish evil on you," writes Bishop of the murderer. "I
am going to wish the opposite. I am going to wish that you will be
redeemed." “The criminal justice system in the United States,
which deems some people unworthy of redemption—even children who
commit serious crimes—urgently needs to hear voices that speak
for mercy and restoration. Jeanne Bishop’s is such a voice”
writes Sr. Helen Prejean, activist and author of Dead Man Walking.
Change of Heart confronts these serious and pressing issues of
restorative justice, juvenile life sentences, and incarceration in
the criminal justice system. Ultimately, Jeanne is writing more
than a memoir of finding faith through extraordinary obstacles. Her
compelling story offers a better understanding of what it truly
means to be a person of faith. It is a call to action that is a
“must-read for pastors, social workers, caregivers, and all who
seek to build community with people relegated to the margins”
(Greg Ellison, Emory University).
