Valentine Tapia

Val Tapia
Valentine tells his compelling true story of redemption in Tin Soldier. He describes his desperate determination in his quest for transformation toward peace and salvation. He is consumed by the darkness of despair through his years as a teenager until the age of forty. He then begins his journey in search of comfort, and to distance himself from his past of heroin addiction and prison.
 

Tin Soldier tells of the teenager who enters the crossroads of catastrophe but is halted and changed through spiritual intervention. After his release from prison in1998, the Tin is recycled and ready to become a Soldier of God; a warrior in his efforts to tell his story of pain and rebirth.
 
 
The new road that Valentine Tapia now follows demonstrates that he has truly attained redemption, and that he has turned away from the recklessness of crime and drug addiction. He relates his story as an example for others to learn from his mistakes so that they, too, are able to choose a new life.
