"The Genesis story of God ordering Abraham to slay his only son, Isaac, is the basis for the title of this true story. It was written by the mother of an only child who, at age 25, after an exemplary life as an honor student, Annapolis graduate, and naval officer, shot and killed his wife's ex-husband. From this unthinkable circumstance and the life sentence that followed, the author and her husband faced emotional and spiritual trials that are described with gut-wrenching immediacy and humility.

Features & Highlights
- Change the way you think about personal challenges. Sometimes we make sacrifices to help us get ahead, to allow us more time with family, or because we believe in the cause. And then there are sacrifices in which we have no say— “Isaac experiences” as in Genesis 22— thrust upon us without warning or survival instructions. This audiobook outlines eight transformational power principles that Gene and Carol Kent learned in the process of facing the news that forever changed their lives: Their twenty-five-year-old son, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy with an impeccable military record, shot and killed his wife's ex-husband. Jason Paul Kent, long recognized for his exemplary character, now walks a path no one could have predicted—and his family lives in the aftermath of a devastation most cannot imagine. Carol's candid retelling of her emotional and spiritual agony will touch your heart. The principles the Kents learned in the process of surviving such unspeakable circumstances will bolster your faith, renew your hope, and challenge you to new levels of personal and spiritual commitment.
