Karla Faye Tucker Set Free: Life and Faith on Death Row

A truly inspirational book about a remarkable woman whose life was transformed by the Grace of Christ. I remember the sadness I felt when Mr. Executioner ( Governor George W Bush) had her put to death like Pontius Pilate in the Bible had Christ put to death. In spite of the fact that Karla Faye had been redeemed by God, a very small man playing thought he knew better and sent her to her death in spite of claiming to be a born again Christian himself in opposition to pleas for clemency from the world community. This was about 8 years that God told him to invade Iraq based on nothing but war profiteering lies. But I digress! If you've thought about becoming a Christian, Karla Faye Tucker is the Real Deal. Nothing phony about this woman! Her faith was genuine and I know she sits in Heaven with Jesus now. What a beautiful role model Karla Faye turned out to be after living a life of crime and drugs. Jesus has a soft spot in His Heart for us sinners! Thank God! Amen.

This is an amazing true account of the life of Karla Faye Tucker beautifully written by Linda Strom which covers the time span when Karla Faye was on Texas Death Row. Linda wrote the book years after her journey with Karla Faye. This book has profoundly affected me and continues to do so weeks after I read it. Karla Faye's life in prison was entirely different from her life in society which brought her into prison. Karla Faye always took responsibility for her crime and never blamed anyone but herself for her actions. Linda Strom, who is herself an Angel on earth, writes in an easy to read manner, with so much heart, beginning with how, why and when she met Karla Faye until Karla Faye went home to Heaven. The love of God radiated from Karla Faye and from her small jail cell, she lead many people to the healing love of the Lord Jesus. A must read for everyone! Anything is possible with God and this story proves it over and over! Have you ever been hurt by someone? Have you ever hurt someone? Are you addicted to anything? Or feel like you'll never be able to conquer something that's bothering you? Please read this book and be set free!! This is a story of redemption, forgiveness, and in Karla Faye's own words "the power of God to change a life." It's not your average story, and Karla Faye was not your average person in jail. She was the real deal, not a fake or imposter. Both of her victims' siblings (brother of Deborah Thornton and sister of Jerry Lynn Dean) both forgave Karla Faye, and Ron Carlson, brother of Deborah Thornton, attended her execution on Karla's side, supporting her. Larry King says his most compelling interview that touched his life of his entire career was with Karla Faye Tucker. Please read it and see if you aren't changed forever for the better...may you, too, be ambushed by Love! With Karla Faye, it was all about Him! Karla Faye's legacy is the glory and love of our Father God and our Lord Jesus, who saves us and sets us free!

I honestly cant think of a book other than the Bible itself that has touched me more than this. This story is a powerful reminder that the blood of Christ is more powerful than any sin. Watching the transformation of this woman and unwavering faith she had no matter her circumstances was truly inspirational. After Christ entered her life she truly lived her life glorifying God

Good true story about Karla Faye Tucker. Once a rebel whose heart became softened by Our Heavenly Father. You can actually feel the words of her true story as you read.

What a beautiful story of salvation a most savage murderer! Karla's salvation is the most incredible stories of salvation in JESUS' blood I've ever heard of in recent memory! Even the warden was impressed by her change. She wasn't sure what it was, but she remarked that she "had a glow"! I look forward very much to meeting Karla!

I love the redemption and testimony.

This book deserves 100 stars...Im not a reader and I read it in a week. Linda Strom did an exceptional job describing Karla...this story has truly changed my life for the good. Glory to God and God bless Karla Faye Tucker.

Waded my way part way through it and gave up. Too repetitive, it's like the author just wants to add words.

I am a Roman Catholic, what one might call devout but far from a saint. I have read books written by the great Saints of the Church, in particular St. John of the Cross, St. Terese of Avila, or Therese of Lsieux. Reading about the transformation of Karla, as it was observed by others, leads me to conclude she had reached the spiritual summit before her death, that many of these saints wrote about in detail.Did Karla herself leave a journal or diary of any kind that has been published?I highly recommend this book to people of any denomination!

This is a powerful and moving account of a woman in prison on death row, showing that, by God's grace and power, a life can be changed from drug addiction and violent crime to one of repentance, forgiveness, godliness, caring for others and profoundly affecting for good the lives of those incarcerated with her and the prison staff.

Ich fand das Buch total langweilig und ich habe etliche Seiten nur überflogen um mir die ganze Öde zu ersparen.

This book is ver badly written ,it tells more about the author,than Karla Tucker,the rest is about religion,the word god is repeated a thousand times,I simplyrefused to waste my time reading the entire book,what an utter waste of time and money,would not recommend this rubbish.
