A criminal conviction and a judge's sentence places a teen boy into the heart of prison life.
Can God hear this teen's voice, the voice of a criminal?
Does God even care about the troubles and suffering this youth faces behind the razor wire?
Will the Bible contain anything within it to help this teen face his life in confinement?
Jennifer owned a troubled past and a troubled life, a life devoid of red carpets and model runways.
Follow this young teenage woman's journey as she struggles and searches for the answers she so desperately needs
Prostitution, drugs, dingy motel rooms, and smelly back-alley streets were the norm for this lonely teen girl until a pair of chance encounters provide her with the opportunity to choose a new direction for her life.
What will occur in these teens' lives?
Join their journeys as they gradually learn the art of walking in the Light while living in the darkness of personal imprisonment; as they attempt to find inner strength and answers to those questions no one wishes to hear or dares to ask.
