About this listen

A child disappears. A foster mother faces an impossible choice. A baby’s future hangs in the balance.

When Deb Moerke and her husband decided to become foster parents, they never imagined how their lives would change. And never did they imagine their worst nightmare coming true: Their five-year-old foster daughter, Hannah, murdered at the hands of her birth mom, Karen.

The Moerkes were overwhelmed with horror and grief. And just when they didn’t think they could bear any more, Deb received a phone call from Karen in prison. Facing a life sentence for Hannah’s murder, she was pregnant. And Karen had an incredible request: Would Deb take her unborn baby in and love it as her own?

How would you respond? Could you show God’s love to someone who had hurt you and taken away everything you held dear?

Murder, Motherhood, and Miraculous Grace is an unbelievable true story of faith, family, and a journey toward seemingly impossible forgiveness. A story that tests the limits of the human heart, it’s ultimately a beautiful, life-affirming testament to how unconditional love and relentless obedience can transform even the darkest of nights into mornings of hope.

An encouraging book.

I loved this book. It encourages us to know that we can overcome any conflict in our lives with Gods help. Whether you are a believer or not it makes you think more about caring for each other.

Interesting listen

A very interesting story, but with a little too much religious/preachy aspects. worth a listen but if you're not a strongly religious person, you might need to take a few breaks.

amazing story

Families' lives are barely without incident but Deb's life is full in every sense of the word. How God's grace and provision is supplied for Deb is remarkable.
This recount is an excellent read, story is well-paced and narration is easy to listen to

God’s Grace is all around inside this book!

This book has definitely touched my heart and taught me so many things. In this book I could see God’s hand and His grace so clearly in all events, big and small. Surely God is sovereign and He works all things for the good of those who love Him!

Thank you Debra for obeying God and writing this awesome story down. Thank you Marguerite for such an engaging audio! Would recommend it to everyone!

Wow!

What an interesting and inspirational story. Full of grace; healing in surrender; and trusting God.

No swearing or sexual references, but there is a, murder, so parental guidance recommended. Likely suitable for 13yrs and above.
