The abuse had to end. Tim went from thinking about taking his own life - suicide - to taking the life of his abuser. He prepared himself mentally and physically. He planned. He was ready. It was time... and so began the longest night of his life.

Tim grew up in a military home. It was also an abusive home. The physical and mental suffering that he with his mother and siblings endured is difficult to imagine. This is part one of a three-part story... of a father and son's remarkable journey from darkness into the light.

Family was important to Florence. But when she decided to follow Jesus she found it cost her some of her most valued relationships. They walked away when she would come to visit. It was very painful. But then she found a new family.

Florence has lived most of her life on the Peguis Reserve in Manitoba. She learned much from her father as she worked the farm with him, and much from her time at the school. She was asked if she would teach the Bible to younger students. In order to do that, she had to read it herself.

Emerson found himself with his back against the wall. He had a wife, three kids, and lost his job. It was a crisis that usually would result in getting drunk, but this time it was different. He turned to God instead... and life is different now.

I was lost. I just couldn't figure out my life, and I kept going and looking for the answers. Went to college, thinking that the money would give me the answers. Went to bars thinking the bars would give me answers. Had the relationships with different women. Thinking that was going to give me the answers. And it just never did.

Molly's early years were marked with abuse. Alcohol had a hold of her, but she wasn't content. This is her story of how she was set free from the bottle... and so much more.

Sometimes it takes a tragedy to get our attention. Jimmy knew that the alcohol and drugs were affecting his family. He wanted to quit, but it was not happening. One day his wife gave him an ultimatum... and he had to make a choice. He told her he would quit, and he really meant it. But he only broke her trust again. When she realized that she could help him, things began to change. But it was on a highway headed into Oklahoma City that God finally got Jimmy's full attention.

Standing in front of the court, listening to the Judge telling his lawyer to shut up and sit down, Jimmy realized that this was serious. What was it that took him down this road? And how could he change? He became the person he never wanted to be. But this isn't the end of the story.

Harsh words can cut deep... and they can flow freely when someone is intoxicated. Jimmy knows. He describes the shock and pain of hearing the most important woman in his life call him down. He was used to dealing with the outbursts, but when they began being directed at him, it was different.
