A true story. In 1969 Robert Nichols moved with his family to North Carolina to serve as a pastor in a small community. Glaring at him from pew number seven was a man obsessed with controlling the church and determined to get rid of anyone who stood in his way. Refusing to be driven away, Rebecca's father stood his ground until one night when an armed man walked into the family's kitchen-and Rebecca's life was shattered. If anyone had 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.
