About David: The Son of Hope
Meet David Berkowitz — a man whose life has been defined not only by his darkest moments, but by the faith and transformation that followed. His story is one of accountability, redemption, and the belief that no life is beyond grace.
Back then I committed some very serious crimes — six murders — and injured a lot of people. I have grief over that and a lot of regret, and God is still continuing to heal my life from those things. As time goes on I continue to pray for the families of those I hurt.
A lot of this was suffering I brought on myself through my own sinful actions, but God is good. And He's brought me a long ways.
I think in all seriousness and soberness, I shudder to think what my life would have been if I never came to Christ.
No one has done so much bad or so much evil that God will not forgive them. Even though I've been behind prison walls for more than three decades, I no longer see the prison bars. My eyes focus beyond that — I see Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith. My freedom is found in one word: Jesus.
