"This is my story. You see, I was once a shooter." Twice pardoned--first by God and later by the state--TJ Stevens now walks in freedom and grace. At first, reluctant to tell his story but compelled now to share what God has done, he gives a firsthand account, four decades later, of what it was like to be a high school shooter. What makes his story different from all the others that have commanded headlines over the last twenty-odd years? How did he not only make it out alive, but go on to have a successful life when so many other high school shooters are now behind bars or in the grave? What happened during that day-long hostage standoff--and in the years that followed--took TJ out of suffocating darkness and into the light. In Once a Shooter: Redemption of a High School Gunman you will see that: - There is freedom in forgiveness
- Redemption is available for everyone
- God will never stop pursuing you
- Faith can overcome fear
- Prayer makes a difference
