Lou Ann’s Gift

"I love you, Kitty," she said, voice breaking with emotion over the phone. "I love you, too, Lou Ann," I said gently, surprised. It’s not that Lou Ann and I were close friends. We had never said those words to each other before. We had never socialized personally or visited over coffee. As with many who are active in a large church, our contact was limited primarily to one area. She was the church pianist and I was a choir member and soloist. As my accompanist, she was ideal—following Read more [...]

Is Jesus Really the “Reason for the Season”?

Hmmm . . . Is Jesus Really the “Reason for the Season”? The answer to that question depends upon a person’s perspective. Some individuals don’t care what the Christmas season is about—just celebrate it, ban it, or ignore it. Others, who declare it loudly and fight for the right to do so, believe that Jesus is The Reason for the Season—yet privately admit they dread it, endure it and can’t wait for it to leave. Of course, all children long for it, love it, and enjoy it. But Read more [...]

I had the privilege of receiving an autographed copy of “The True Story of Kitty Chappell, Sins of a Father: Forgiving the Unforgivable”. Upon reading this book, I sensed the anointing of God.

Kitty Chappell’s warm and inspiring heart for God was very evident as she shared with the ladies at our Women’s Conference and our church worship services.

I personally was challenged to take one step further in my “forgiveness journey” in life, while others in attendance left our time together with a new-found freedom from heavy life-long bur…

Arizona Community Church has had the privilege of having Kitty Chappell as a guest speaker at several events. She has captivated audiences of all ages, including Middle School and High School students. Her story is very interesting and life changing.

Kitty has a special way of presenting her story to her audience. She is informative, but also sensitive. I have had several students ask to have Kitty back again to speak so they can bring friends whom they feel should hear her story.

I highly recom…

The women’s group at Lakeshore Bible Church was pleased to have Kitty Chappell, author of the compelling book, Sins of a Father, Forgiving the Unforgivable, speak to us at our spring luncheon.

We had never heard Kitty speak, though some of us had read her book and were moved by its message of forgiveness. We knew she could write, but could she speak? The resounding answer is “Yes!” Kitty’s humble, gentle presentation of her horrific story of abuse at the hands of her father gave me goose b…
