    In a world that is constantly evolving, where change seems to be the only constant, the concept of consistency emerges as a vital cornerstone for personal growth, professional success, and enduring relationships. Consistency is not simply about adhering to routines or following habits; it represents a deliberate commitment to living with integrity, purpose, and unwavering resolve. This chapter examines the true meaning of consistency and explains how maintaining a steady approach can fundamentally transform every area of our lives. 
    At its essence, consistency is the alignment of our actions, words, and beliefs over time. It is the practice of showing up each day, regardless of the challenges we face, and performing in a manner that is true to our deepest convictions. Such steady adherence creates a solid foundation of trust and reliability, qualities that are indispensable both in personal interactions and in the professional sphere. Those who master consistency often find that their lives become more predictable, their relationships stronger, and their sense of self more grounded. 
    Yet, the path to consistency is rarely without obstacles. Life is filled with distractions, setbacks, and unforeseen changes that can disrupt even the best-laid plans. Embracing consistency means accepting that challenges are an inherent part of any journey. It is about learning to see setbacks not as failures, but as opportunities to learn and grow. By focusing on incremental progress and taking deliberate, small steps each day, we develop the resilience needed to persevere and achieve long-term success.

    A former United Church minister massacres his family. What led to this act of femicide, and why were his victims forgotten? 
     
     
     
    On May 2, 1963, Robert Killins, a former United Church minister, slaughtered every woman in his family but one. She (and her brother) lived to tell the story of what motivated a talented man who had been widely admired, a scholar and graduate from Queen's University, to stalk and terrorize the women in his family for almost twenty years and then murder them. 
     
     
     
    Through extensive oral histories, Cook and Carson painstakingly trace the causes of a femicide in which four women and two unborn babies were murdered over the course of one bloody evening. While they situate this murderous rampage in the literature on domestic abuse and mass murders, they also explore how the two traumatized child survivors found their way back to health and happiness. Told through vivid first-person accounts, this family memoir explains how a murderer was created.
