My name is Ovell T. Barber, and I have been locked up in the Virginia prison system for (30) years! I got locked up in Norfolk, VA back in (1988), and it was three seperate charges in which the Norfolk Circuit Court convicted and sentenced me to; Robbery - 3 years, Murder - 90 years, and failure to appear - 1 year. This gave me a total sentence of (94) years!

During these (30) years of incarceration, I decided that now was the time to share my TESTIMONY with the world, with hope and prayer that someone will find and receive JESUS CHRIST, MY LORD AND SAVIOR!!!

For GOD and his son JESUS are the reason why I am who I am today and until he call me home. They kept me on this earth to share my TESTIMONY. And, if you start reading this book and you’re not a Christian, by the time you finish reading this book you may want to become a Christian. And, by the way, every thing that is written in this book is the truth, by way of actual facts and events.

I was the sixth child born into a very loving God Fearing family. I came into this world on September 5, 1967. I was born in Depaul Hospital in Norfolk, VA. My family and I was living in a housing project called Tidewater Park. My memory as a little child go all the way back to three to four years old.

My sister Peaches and I was very close. She used to walk me to school every morning, Tidewater Park Elementary. She was the oldest, and I was the youngest between six kids, until my younger brother Cornell was born, by way of his dad Big Cornell, and my mom. My dad left my mom when my mom was pregnant with me.

My grandmother Hattie May helped my mom raise seven of her kids! My grand mother had a very strong will, but that will and strength came by way of her belief in God and his son Jesus!!!

Every Sunday morning, as far back as I can remember, my mother Mrs. Ella May made sure that we went to church, to give prays and thanks to a God that I didn’t know any thing about. However, my oldest sisters didn’t have to go to church,
