Book Description

"This book is a must read for anyone who is, or has faced physical or emotional trails in their life. It will not only encourage you, it will help you find hope." Craig Caster - Founder, Family Discipleship Ministries "Tim's book is a journey of loss that is heartbreaking. But more than that, it's a journey of redemption, hope and salvation. He's honest about what he's gone through and what it takes to live with NF2, his particular condition. But Tim has dug deep into his relationship with God and testifies of the sustaining grace for life and how God's promises keep him positive and focused. I say this not only from reading Tim's book, but from seeing him in the front row at church as I preach, from having coffee at Starbucks and talking church, Bible and mission. Tim's deepest desire is to be used by the God he loves to help people connect with Jesus and develop that kind of faith that he KNOWS FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE will sustain you through all that life may bring. You will enjoy this book. You will be moved by this book. Mostly you will be challenged by this book." Ed Noble - Lead Pastor, Journey Community Church

Zack Walker had been part of Harlee's band for what felt like forever. When he saw her relationship with Jake crumbling around her, all he wanted to do was jump in and save her from it all.

He'd had the typical rock star past full of one night stands and girlfriends who didn't mean much to him, but would she really hold all of that against him? When the right time came, he'd jumped at the chance to be with her, and wasn't about to give it up. When Grace saw Zack and Harlee together, part of her questioned it it was right, the other part questioned what Jake would do when he found out.
