The town of Sutherland Springs lived in quiet obscurity, until a madman entered the First Baptist church, on November 5th, 2017. This book recounts the harrowing story of those who lived through that day, witnessed terrible evil, and rose up to face it. Hope can be found in their faith, heroism, and actions, and in the overwhelming presence of God.

The beautiful honor that was given to all of the people.
5 Stars
The beautiful honor that was given to all of the people.
Well, I ordered this book on May 30th. It got here today June 1st, and I’m almost done reading it. For me it has opened up every emotion that a human being has within the first chapter. After that the emotions only grow stronger. If you buy it (and I strongly suggest you do), and if it doesn’t do the same to you, I don’t think you would be fully human. I can’t say anymore, because I don’t want to give anything away. But it’s hard not to say more!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Touching Story
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2023

I have no strong religious beliefs, but although this book was written from the view of authors who are quite religious, I found the book's message to be extremely powerful. It was not well-written in a literary sense. Instead, it was pretty simple in style and in message, but it brought tears to my eyes repeatedly. I'd sure like to have the authors (and the people of Sutherland Springs in general) as neighbors.

I'm not a very emotional person in general, but this book affected my feelings as much as my mind. Well done, Rachel and Stephen!

This book is a roller-coaster of emotions from smiles to tears in every chapter. I know this little town and now I know it even better, learning about all the families and details of the tragedy that took place there. It is very well written and one of the best books I have ever read. In fact I am purchasing additional books to hand out to friends and family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honoring and moving
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023

I was blessed by reading Stephen Willeford and Rachel Howes book about their town and those who were there on the day an active shooter took many lives at the local Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. They write about each involved towns member story and life in such an honoring and moving way, keeping the focus on the facts and those who were effected, which I appreciated so much. This book shows a man and his family act out what it means to love their neighbors as themselves, which was exactly what was needed during this crisis with stopping an active shooter in their beloved town. Instead of running from the danger, Stephen and his family and others in the town each showed the willingness to respond and help no matter the danger. It looks like the light and the hope they have in Jesus in action in the midst of darkness.

This book was so great and absolutely riveting. I couldn’t put it down. I cried, smiled and I got a peek into the wonderful, ordinary lives of real people with real lives. Although you know the story of their end in general, this book recognizes the lives they lived and not just the horror of their final moments in this world. Highly recommend!!!!

This book shows the real story of the Tragedy at FBC Sutherland Springs. Each person’s life was beautifully showcased in the words written. I had just spent time with Annabelle the summer before at GA/Acteen Camp. It was our last day of camp and I found her sitting by herself. I went and sat beside her and asked if she was ok, and if I could help her with anything. She said she was sad because camp was over and she wasn’t ready to go home. I reassured her the memories of this camp would be in her and she could go home and share her joys to those who couldn’t come to camp that year. We talked about the fun crafts she made, the fun games she played, and the wonderful words of God we heard. I told her I was looking forward to seeing her next year, as she always put a smile on my face when I would see her walk into my craft rotation. When the news hit with the news of the shooting and I heard about the beautiful people lost my heart sank. But when I heard Annabelle’s name my world shattered. I pray for FBCSS with a love for them like no other. Many I do not know but the few I do and cherish deeply. This book brought peace to my heart in knowing (even though I already knew) Annabelle is sitting alongside Jesus, as well as each beautiful taken from us that day.

The author kept to the facts without descriptive gore. Rather, the characters were the focus and that made the book a page turner, I read it in one day. Very well written.

I ordered this book as soon as I saw it was in print! This is an amazing community and church. There are so many inspirational stories of survival and faith in the midst of trauma and hope. This is Stephen’s story from his experience as well as memorializing the victims who lost their lives that day. So well written as he shares what he experienced (and still experiences). I would strongly recommend everyone read this. No one thinks a tragedy like this could happen in their community, and I feel like the importance of how we should respond is emphasized through Stephens actions, courage and faith!
