About this audiobook

The untold story of how John Ramsey survived unspeakable tragedy and learned to hope again.

Like the biblical Job, John Ramsey had it all-wealthy, social position, a loving family. And like Job, Ramsey was destined for great affliction, as many of the most precious things in his life were cruelly taken from him.

First came the death of his eldest daughter in a car accident in 1992. Then, four years later, his beloved six-year-old, JonBenét, was murdered; Ramsey was the one who discovered her body, concealed in the basement of his family's home. The case drew international media attention, and-compounding Ramsey's woe-suspicion unfairly focused on Ramsey and his wife, Patsy. Although they were ultimately cleared of any connection with the crime, Ramsey's sorrows did not end. In 2006, Patsy died, at 49, of ovarian cancer.

In this remarkable audiobook, Ramsey reveals how he was sustained by faith during the long period of spiritual darkness, and he offers hope and encouragement to others who suffer tragedy and injustice.

    I read the Death of Innocence written by John Ramsey and his wife Patsy. In the book they described the murder of their daughter JonBenet and their Christian faith. Their book along with FBI profiler, John Douglas's account of JonBenet's murder in The cases that Haunt Us have led me to the conclusion that a miscarriage of justice has been done to the Ramsey family. Later developments in DNA evidence has only gone on to support the conclusion that the murder was committed by an unknown person who broke into the family home. John Douglas said something in his book that really stuck, the only thing worse than having your child murdered is to be accused of it when you are innocent. Since those two book have been written Patsy Ramsey has died from the ovarian cancer that was first diagnosed in 1994. John Ramsey has not only lost his two daughters but his wife as well. It is in that context that he share his belief in God. According to his faith God does not promise to save you from terrible things happening in your life but he does promise to be there to help you through. If you have read Death of Innocence, many of the same events are recounted in this book. It seems that little advancement has been made in the case and John seems to have made peace with the fact that justice for the murder of his daughter may not be delivered on an earthly plane. This book is written from a faith based perspective. It seems that in losing it all, John Ramsey has found what really matters. It is heartening to see that suffering can lead to a deeper faith and even eventually the feeling of happiness again.
