Book Cover & Preview Text
The first day of the first trial (1 of 2 trials) was very difficult. The State of Tennessee who represented us, told us that we would see and hear things we had not heard of seen before. I remember feeling sick to my stomach, my mind wondered what could be next? What could they possibly show or tell us that we had not seen or heard already?
I ask You oh Lord, to guide my footsteps and my tongue as I continue on this journey. Lord, let Your light shine through me and on me as I go forward from this place.
