His own words 3

T.J. Stevens didn't see people when he entered a Virginia high school back in 1982. He describes himself as seeing "prey."

While considering suicide the night before, he felt that he heard voices who told him he wouldn't know peace until he killed others first. But at that school the next day, he shot over their heads and took hostages instead. He believes Jesus stopped him.

He saw a vision of a robed man holding out a hand to him, and he took that hand. It was the first of a series of decisions to respond to God over many years. Eventually he told the story to someone who wanted to know why his life changed completely, and she made a film.

The trailer is below, and the film was shown at an independent film festival six months ago.
