Mrs. Cooper's Bible J M Sampson

Timmy Watson is a high school senior who has seemingly lost his faith in God and himself when he decides to commit a crime with his unruly buddy, Roger. During an attempted purse snatching from an elderly woman, Roger points a gun at a police officer who unexpectedly appears. Seconds after Timmy leaps between the officer and his friend, both he and Roger are wounded. Although it appears his life has completely unraveled, Timmy has no idea of the miracles about to unfold. As Timmy faces trial, the judge delays final judgment, challenges him to bring up his grades, and assigns him to volunteer at a hospital rehabilitation center where he soon meets Terri, a fellow student who is paralyzed from an accident. When their friendship blossoms into love, Timmy must battle her mother's dislike for him and his guilt over not disclosing his past to Terri. But things go from bad to worse when Terri's mother finds out about the incident and dismisses Timmy. As he navigates through his many regrets, Timmy ultimately renews his faith. But will he trust God to guide him in his effort to repair what has been broken? Mrs. Cooper's Bible is the poignant story of a rebellious teen who commits a crime and then must find redemption through a renewed faith in God.
