Tim's story is remarkable - arrested at age 14, tried as an adult and sentenced to TWO life sentences for murder...though everyone agreed he never touched a weapon or a victim. 

Even with that backdrop, Tim's story is one of hope.  From encountering God in confinement at the age of 15 to being sent to an adult prison at the age of 16, you will be captivated by the story and his positive spirit.
