So often we hear the victim's side of a crime, and rightly so. But I found Kreider's account of his son's actions to be compelling and powerful, a good reminder that even in the most horrible of situations there is more than one story.
- Andi CumboThis book is so well written that it was hard to put it down. You feel like you are going through everything that this father went through. The sorrow, the guilt, but then the triumph that pulled him through.
- MaryEllen HeffelfingerA vision birthed in tragedy, of giving hope to sons and daughters who are alone and more than a bit lost, gives testament to the radical grace of God. Vulnerable, raw, and defiantly hopeful, a story for His glory.
- Dustin GingrichI found Refuse To Drown to be a compelling, riveting story. It's a wonderful testimonial to the power of faith—illustrating that, as dark as the night gets, the sun will rise again in the morning.

- Robert D. BeyerAs a father, husband and local youth athletic coach interacting with many local teens and adolescents, this book was a real eye-opener to the many warning signs to look for when a young adult is having emotional or mental struggles. This is a must read book for every parent as well as any young adult who feels like they are alone in life.
