We all take away different things from a book depending where we our in our life stages. For me it was...wanting to hug our teenage Son a little longer, listen a lot closer to what I often brush aside as trivial teenage angst

I 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.

I appreciated Tim's honesty and humble raw admittance to the feelings of responsibility. I felt as I read this book I had a friend that understood my heart and my anguish in parenting such a child and all the ways in which I asked myself all the same questions Tim shared in his book.

From the time I started this book, I didn't want to put it down. It's a very emotional read. I can't begin to imagine what life was like for everyone involved. It had to have taken a lot of courage to share this journey.

The pain, disappointment and heart ache he experienced was almost too much for a father to endure. I would highly recommend this book to any one who needs a positive perspective on their challenges. A must read!

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.

The father is a brave man to write of his experiences. I have met and respect him. He is recovering through a strong faith and excellent support system.

What Tim was faced with was unimaginable for just about anyone; his ability to forgive both himself and others and to let go of the past, ultimately gave him the strength to weather the storm and lift himself up to a place of emotional, mental and physical happiness.

Excellent book, well written. My heart goes out to Tim and his family. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

The way the story was told seemed an invitation to walk as a silent, close witness to the days before, during and after an unimaginable event. It was as though Tim invited me to be the fly on his walls, the ones that were closing in on him during a dark time.

A very interesting reflection of unfathomable difficulty. The message of Faith and God is clear. It was not easy to put down. I highly recommend it.

A 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.

You can't help but ache for him, but his resilience can bring all us all hope. May his words save someone else from this heart ache! Well worth the read. Kuddos to Tim you are a man of strength and integrity!!
