Scott Harman is one of the most genuinely kind people you could ever meet - his love for the gospel and his friendship with God are shown clearly just by being in his presence.

Beginning with childhood sexual abuse, an introduction to alcohol in his teens, and starting hard drugs as an adult, Scott's life story is one of intense hardship, pain, and suffering but provides powerful proof of God's divine love and Christ's ability to redeem us from sin and darkness.
