Kent Whitaker’s quiet life as a Houston construction executive changed in 2003 when his wife and younger son were murdered, and he and his older son wounded, all shot by a masked gunman. But the nightmare for this “perfect” family deepened when his older son Bart fell under suspicion for arranging the murders. In 2007 Bart was convicted and sentenced to death.
That night Kent wrestled with his faith, but chose to forgive everyone involved, long before Bart became a suspect. This forgiveness has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, CBS’ 48 Hours Mystery!, and ABC’s 20/20. His book Murder by Family, a first hand account of the shooting and how God has worked in both Kent and Bart’s lives, was recently named to the New York Times’ Best Seller list and has been reissued as a trade paperback. All author proceeds are donated to charity.
Kent recently married Tanya Youngling, and they have combined their ministries under the banner of Bigger Picture Ministries. Both are now ordained ministers and travel and speak extensively on God’s grace and healing. They are currently writing a book on finding hope within life’s disappointments.
