When Chuck was arrested, at age fifteen, for breaking and entering and grand larceny, God began working in Chuck’s conscience. During his three-year probation, Chuck wrestled with guilt and had nightmares about getting caught, until someone said, “Did you know that Jesus Christ can take away your guilt?” The rebel became a son.
