Looking for God
I thought the book would be more about the abduction. The book is more about looking for God. There are many interesting stories about faith and God

In "Aftermath of Jennifer Kesse's Abduction," Bill Gilmour lays out the raw emotion that gut kicked him in the months after his niece disappeared in 2006. To this day, the crime remains unsolved.
But the book's subtitle 'An Uncle's Quest for Understanding & Inspiring Life Lessons' gets to the real meat of the story, where Gilmour finds support from family, friends and colleague who nudge him in the direction of God. In an inspiring faith journey of breakthroughs and setbacks, Gilmour chronicles his path toward what Thomas Merton would call "finding our heart and recovering the awareness of our inmost identity."
Prayer, Bible study and actively listening to God become central to Gilmour's renewal. While never achieving complete peace with the mystery of what happened to Jennifer, he finds hope - and shares real-life stories of people and events that inspire hope. During war. After prison. After suicide. Beyond hope, he recounts how he put his faith into action.
If you are looking for a powerfully told tale of one-man's 17-year-odyssey after tragedy strikes, Gilmour's book will fit the bill.

Beautiful story of Bills growth in his faith. Amazing stories of his sharing that faith with others and his growth with helping and thinking of others first.
