From poverty to prison to praise takes the reader through the struggles and ultimate victories of a balanced life of crime, lies, sex and violence. As one reads the accounts of the writers journey, it is the writers prayer that the spiritual influence of the God of heaven would cause you to consider trusting in Him no matter what you may find yourself up against. Some of the contents of this true story may even be too graphic for some. But its only intention is to show that God loves us all and that with faith in His plans for our lives, Hell bring us through victorious. We fight from the victory, not for the victory. And that victory belongs to God through the obedient death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
From poverty to prison to praise is the true story of I who had lived a life that was completely contrary to the life that I was created and ordained to live by God. While raised in a poor inner city community on the west coast of the country, I witnessed various behaviors and characteristics of people with all kinds of backgrounds. With no positive male figures present I found myself engaging in multiple unhealthy relationships with different women.
There was violence, cheating, lies, and enevidably prison. Convicted of a crime that took the life of my then wife, I served fourteen years in a state prison where I ultimately surrendered my life and will to the only wise God of the universe.
Through my faith in Him by the presence and indwelling of His spirit, I was called to minister forgiveness and reconciliation to a hurting, lost, blind, and confused world that has appeared to have given up all hope on life.
The journey within the pages of this book is to testify on behalf of Gods sovereign and unconditional love for His called people.To also inform every man,woman,boy and girl that you can never go out so far to where God cant bring you back. I pray that youll be blessed and encouraged by the struggle, the journey, and the victory in this book that I was called to write.
Jesus lives. Be strengthened and trust God not because of, but in spite of.view less
