The Other Side of Fear: A True Story of Murder, Forgiveness, and the Peace Only Faith Can Bring

When Brock Heasley was eleven, his father survived a brutal robbery that left him shot thirteen times. Seven years later, while Brock served a mission in Arizona, his father was killed in a nearly identical shooting. In this raw, funny, and deeply personal memoir, Brock explores growing up in the shadow of a father who never feared death, and how tragedy became the crucible in which his own faith, forgiveness, and understanding were forged.
