    About this ebook

    When an angel of death arrives to collect his charge, he quickly learns that things are seldom as they first appear in matters of the human heart. His assignment reveals that a man’s last hours are rarely a reflection of the way he’s lived his entire life. A visit to death row during Last Rites, as seen through heavenly eyes, shows much more than a convict, a guard, and a priest. It shows how a guard’s journey to find his faith challenges religious dogma and social labeling while displaying the human soul’s incredible capacity for change. Your own beliefs will be tested as con-victs, their guard, and a priest, each with their own tortured past, faces reconciling forgiveness in Trespassing on Holy Ground.

    Garrett Johnson

    Garrett Johnson,a devoted husband and father of 3 boys, has a passion for storytelling that's grown with his years of life experience on campus, in military service, and enduring the private corporate sector. He's observed the human element from coast to coast and overseas. Garrett is a history enthusiast, keen to the dramatic natural surroundings of his home on the coast, and has absorbed the energy of his own growing family to create a new chapter of local lore to go with the already enchanting region in which he resides-the Majestic Northwest.
