Join us Saturday, February 25th at 2:00pm for author Judith Toy. Judith is the author of Murder As A Call to Love. Murder as a Call to Love is a true account of the author's life.
The young man who murders the author's sister-in-law and her two teenaged nephews hides in the garage in an affluent neighborhood, and waits until they are asleep. In the night, he bludgeons and stabs them to death and flees. The perpetrator is the boy across the street, a family friend, 19 years old. Lost in grief, Judith falls into the welcoming arms of Zen. Five years later, through her newfound practice of daily mindfulness and meditation, she spontaneously forgives the killer. She goes on to lead mindfulness practice in a medium security prison where some of the men knew the killer. This is the gripping tale of one woman walking through fire. It is an inner story of adventure, loss, torment... and in the end, forgiveness and an awakening to deep peace--a true tale of transformation.
