Summary

Rebecca never felt safe as a child. In 1969, her father, Robert Nichols, moved to Sellerstown, North Carolina, to serve as a pastor. There he found a small community eager to welcome him - with one exception. Glaring at him from pew number seven was a man obsessed with controlling the church. Determined to get rid of anyone who stood in his way, he unleashed a plan of terror that was more devastating and violent than the Nichols family could have ever imagined. Refusing to be driven away by acts of intimidation, Rebecca's father stood his ground until one night when an armed man walked into the familys kitchen... and Rebecca's life was shattered.

If anyone had a reason to harbor hatred and seek personal revenge, it would be Rebecca. Yet The Devil in Pew Number Seven tells a different story. It is the amazing true saga of relentless persecution, one family's faith and courage in the face of it, and a daughter whose parents taught her the power of forgiveness.

Devil

Devil is a mild word to describe this monster. But I’ll never get why she forgave him. Not a chance in this world would I have

A forgiveness that could only come from Jesus

An amazing tale of forgiveness and grace in the face of unthinkable injustice and loss, the final chapters are incredible encouraging and challenging.
I couldn’t give it more stars because of the painfully laborious detail and repetition within the narrative. Endless rhetorical questions, repeating nearly every statement with different wording, and tedious unnecessary detail nearly made me ditch the book. Instead I doubled the speed and skipped frequently through the story to see how it turned out. I’m glad I did. The final two chapters are quite different and wonderfully edifying. A true-life story of Christlike forgiveness and hope.

Tragedy

Somehow I think the father, using religion as an excuse, has put his family in so much danger.
What religion or God would repay one’s loyalty with so much tragedy? The premature death of his children’s mother, his sanity, his children being orphaned could never be a good enough reason to carry on preaching in any environment that was threatening their lives!
