Themes
True redemption requires action.
God’s redemption overcomes man’s punishment.
Beauty can be found in the midst of dispair.
Guilt can destroy a person, body and soul.
Revenge destroys both the victim and seeker.
One must have the courage to be true to one’s self.
It is by recognizing and dealing with our weaknesses that we grow stronger.
The choices we make determine what we become.
Within each person exists the capacity for both good and evil.
