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.

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.

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.

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.

His acceptance, his resolve and his ability to persevere is inspirational. His willingness to share his story is gracious. This is an easy read that will stay with you long after you finish the book.

Tim's amazing journey through an unthinkable tragedy brought me to tears and filled me with a profound sense of respect for this courageous man.

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.

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

This 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.
