History & Biography

“In Grace from the Rubble, Jeanne Bishop reminds us that retribution is not the only solution we can offer those whose loved ones have been murdered. murdered. There is another way—the path of forgiveness and reconciliation. It’s the path Jeanne pursued with her sister’s killer, and it’s the path she wrote about in her first book, Change of Heart. This time Jeanne revisits her hometown—Oklahoma City—to tell the unforgettable story of a meeting between Bud Welsh, whose daughter, Julie, was killed in the Oklahoma City bombing, and Bill McVeigh, whose son, Timothy, detonated the truck bomb that killed Julie, killed one hundred sixty-seven other innocents, and wounded hundreds more. This meeting was an act of grace which transformed both men and helped lift them up and out from under the rubble of their lives after the bombing. And this book—also an act of grace—is bound to elevate and transform all who read it.”
