Timothy Eldred
6 books4 followersTimothy (Tim) Eldred is a veteran pastor, author, speaker, teacher, and unrelenting voice for the next generation with a reputation for challenging the status quo.

Great short book on how tough life can be when we are isolated (doesn’t mean there aren’t people around you)in some way and how we can change the world with a simple change in our mindset and approach! Could just be that we change our little piece of the world or that we impact many others!

It's the life story of Timothy Eldred. Doesn't offer much help besides "go create a support structure." Read something else.
