This book documents the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the life one man--who now offers to us the path to healing, wholeness, and holiness he has found. The invitation to live in the sanctifying grace of God that is contained in these pages, along with the process of daily spiritual reflection, comes with the assurance that "God did this for me; and I know God can do it for you."

Following his tenure at ORU, he worked as a senior high school principal. He then served as headmaster at Metro Christian Academy, at the time the largest private school in Oklahoma. Tim currently serves in intercession, in prophetic ministry, and as an elder at Believers Church.
