"My daughter, Rachel Scott, was the first student murdered at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. The book 'Twelve Minutes to Hell' by Tim Hutchinson is a book every parent and student should read. It is the compelling, dramatic story of a man who found his solution through genuine personal faith. This is what carried us through the pain we suffered when Rachel was killed"

--Darrell Scott

“If I would have been able to read this book beforehand, I wouldn't have shot those people. It would have helped me to learn from someone whose life was more screwed up than mine, and was able to turn it around.”

-- Charles Andrew Williams, currently serving a 50 year to life sentence in a California prison after he went on a six- minute shooting spree on March 5, 2001, killing 2 students, and wounding 13 others, including a teacher and a campus monitor.

"Great - easy to read and captivating!! I was able to relate to many of your feelings as you experienced them and expressed them. In my own life journey of going to juvenile custody at age 8 - living on the streets at age 10 - - gang banging - drug dealing - ending with a 20 year drug addiction and 21 years in prison before I was able to overcome and find redemption. Your book would have helped me tremendously...in the Special Handing Unit in a maximum security penitentiary - your words struck a cord in my very soul!!"

"Tim Hutchinson´s story is very inspiring for me … I read this book as a concerned father and also as a police officer currently working in a public high school. In this book, Tim tells his story of being bullied and the horrible life changing road that he was on in his early years. The big difference in this story is that Tim takes the next step and digs into the "why?" and "how do we change the conditions?" for today's youth. I have seen Tim in his interactions with people and I believe he is an amazing person with an even more amazing message that needs to be heard by everybody."

--Chris Goodreau, Police Officer - Burnsville , MN
