A Note From Steven

Why I Wrote This Book

I wrote From the Tower to the Cross because people often had a hard time believing my story was real. More importantly, I believed the journey could become something motivational for someone else. The events behind this story changed me, changed the way I thought, and showed me that consequences do not have to be the end of a person's story. This book is about falling, facing what comes next, and discovering that redemption and a second chance are still possible.
