“THE STORY... IS RIVETING, INSPIRING, AT TIMES HARD TO BELIEVE BUT UTTERLY TRUE, AND IT GIVES SOME MEASURE OF HOPE IN THESE RANCOROUS TIMES.” - JOHN GRISHAM

From a high-speed chase, shoot-out, and prison escape, to an FBI agent’s wife and her prayer group, learn more in this remarkable testimony of God's transforming power.

Find renewed hope and encouragement in God as you hear how He has worked and still is working in a most unlikely person.
