On April 19, 1995, Kathy Sanders life was changed forever when a bomb exploded and destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah building in Oklahoma City, killing her two grandsons Chase and Colton.
For months, Kathy struggled with coping and wondered if the God shed worshipped all her life even existed. After battling bitterness and contemplating suicide, she turned to the Lord and asked what Hed have her do. The answer was clear: Forgive your enemies.
Thus Kathy forged a friendship with Terry Nichols, one of the men convicted in the bombing, via phone conversations, letters, and even face-to-face meetings.
She also began searching for answers about what happened that fateful day in April and found opportunities to cultivate relationships with Nichols children, mother, sister, wife, and ex-wife in separate turns. She demonstrated the same type of warmth to family members of Timothy McVeigh, the second man convicted of orchestrating the bombing. Her courageous efforts of extending compassion and grace gave her peace and removed the bitterness from her life.
With photos, interviews, and actual letters exchanged between Kathy and Terry Nichols, Now You See Me tells the story of one woman who walked the road less traveled and forgave the unforgivable.

Praise for
NOW YOU SEE ME

NOW YOU SEE ME is an amazing and enlightening story of Kathy Sanderss pathway to forgiveness. Kathys firsthand recollections of the Oklahoma City Bombing of the Murrah Building, which took the lives of her two grandchildren, vividly paint a picture of that horrific day in U.S. history. Kathys surprising later connection to Terry Nichols not only brought her to a level of forgiveness, but sparked a spiritual awakening in him. This story will be of enormous benefit to friends and families going through similar trauma and working to find their own paths to forgiveness.

Jay Bradford, Arkansas insurance commissioner

As the district attorney responsible for the state prosecution of Terry Nichols, I dont subscribe to conspiracy theories or musings on possible government cover-ups. But as a common citizen, I was profoundly impressed and even moved by the spiritual journey taken by Kathy Wilburn Sanders. Only those robbed of their loved ones can truly comprehend the pain and grief this grandmother and her family experienced at the hand of McVeigh and Nichols. The beauty of this story is that she is a walking testament that Jesus Christ does what he says he can do: bring peace and joy out of the ashes of grief and despair.

Wes Lane

Riveting. Forceful. Redemptive. Written like a personal journal, with shades of investigative reporting, Kathy Sanders recounts her personal journey after losing her two grandsons in the 1995 Oklahoma City federal building bombing. Moving through her tragedy, devastation, doubts, depression, then finally arriving at the first stirrings of wanting to live again, this artist reveals the pathway to healing she found. A powerful journey of faith revitalized and forgiveness rediscovered. I wasnt able to put it down until I finished.

Dr. Kevin Clarkson, lead pastor of First Baptist Church, Moore, Oklahoma

Self awareness and the ability to forgive our enemies, as well as ourselves, seems impossible. This book shows how. Inspirational, thought-provoking, and insightful.

Joe Kleine, assistant coach of UALR, fifteen-year NBA player, member of the 1984 Olympic gold medal basketball team and 1998 NBA champion Chicago Bulls

I dedicate this book to my loving Savior, who taught me to sing through my sadness, to laugh through my tears, and to feel His compassion.

I would like to recognize my beloved husband, Tom Sanders, who blesses my life each and every day.

My daughter, Edye, who, while coping with her own grief, provided courage and strength that sustained me through the worst of times.

Larry and Frances Jones have been with me through every step of this journey.

Lee Hough is popularly regarded as Americas foremost agent representing Christian literature. Despite major health issues, up until his death, Lee was a persistent guardian of this project.

Although we had not previously exchanged e-mails or text messages, FaithWords editor Jana Burson took the time to meet me face-to-face when contemplating the publication of my story. She and I laughed and cried, and we bonded instantly with a common cause to share this book with the world.

J. Pat Carter and David Allen provided photos for this book.

Picture 3

S ometimes, when the hour is late and memories are unavoidable, I sit silently alone to watch videotapes of events I dread to see, the immediate aftermath of unspeakable death and destruction.

I wonder why I do that.

The bombing of Oklahoma Citys Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, was the deadliest act of terrorism ever enacted on American soil until the attack on the World Trade Center six years later.

The media called the Murrah onslaught Americas worst tragedy since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy thirty-two years earlier. I dont endorse the comparison, except that the Oklahoma City Bombing served to confirm what the shock of the Kennedy assassination made us realize. That Americans were no longer safe. Even in our own country.

Within a sixteen-block radius, 324 buildings were damaged or outright destroyed. Eighty-six cars were burned or demolished. Total property damage was set at $652 million.

But all of that physical damage is woefully insignificant when compared to our precious loved ones who were taken away forever by the explosion.

The death toll reached 168, including nineteen children under the age of six. Two of those were Chase and Colton Smith, my grandchildren, ages three and two. During their short lives, they and their mother, the former Edye Smith, lived with me.

Today, my beloved grandsons live in heaven. They are remembered through videotapes, photographs, and the precious memories Ill cherish forever.
