Having read this book helps me better deal with the fact that my husband is in prison. Harold Morris gives a real account of the day-to-day life in the inmates. The book is a must to share with anyone who is effected by the prison system as well as kids who don't know the full consequences of their actions.

It's been at least 5 years since I have read this book, and I have since loaned it to a friend, who moved out of town, and I didn't receive the book back. At first I couldn't remember the name of the book or the author for sure, but I kept thinking and remembered Harold Morris' name, so I found the book on Amazon! I am going to order this book for my husband (who doesn't usually like to read), because it was so good. I have read hundreds of books in my life, and this is not like any other. It is definately a life-changing book. No other book has had this kind of effect on me. My husband just has to read it, and so do you. I wouldn't normally think I would be interested in a book on this topic, but it gives you insight into the world of a prisoner, and one who gave his life over to Jesus Christ. I have even been able to explain to my 5 year old daughter that when God says to "love your neighbor" that means even people who commit crimes bad enough to go to prison... because even people in prison are loved by God, and can change their ways, and turn to Jesus, when they realize he is the only real purpose in this life. I definately recommend reading this book. I am going to read it again once I order it.

A true life story of an all star athlete who takes the wrong road and turns to drugs, alcohol, night clubs, and a fast life for acceptance! After a murder is commited , harold winds up with 2 life sentences at the White elephant (Georgia State Penn)! He explains how he got there, and the changes that were made in him through Christ. It is interesting to read how this man survived 10 years of violent prison life thorugh his walk with GOD! Don't confuse this story with Movies such as Blood in Blood out, this is the REAL thing! This book is well known with the Inmates for Christ organization.

Harold Morris has a way of reaching people and making them feel and think. Though his life looked hopeless after an unjust murder conviction, he managed to survive in what was then the toughest prison in the nation. The violence, the filth, and the cruelty of day to day life in the prison are brought to life as Harold tells of his years behind bars. But Harold did more than survive. He eventually turned to Jesus and was able to travel to schools to encourage young people to make the right decisions. Eventually, with the help of family and friends, Harold was freed. He carried on his work of helping others and continues to be an inspiration to those who want to change their lives for the better and for those who want to make the right choices to begin with.
Fascinating topic, conversational writing style, and attention to detail make this book hard to put down.

I had read this book many years ago, and was very happy Amazon could locate it for me, I am going to send it to a nephew that is in prison, hoping to bring him some hope.

This is an unbelievable story made believable because we have a gracious God who is in the saving sinners business. I had this book in my library for many years and finally got around to reading it. It was well worth the wait. Harold Morris reminds us that no one is beyond hope and all are within the reach of God if we just reach out to Him. His life also reminds us of the sovereignty of God. He works out His plan and purposes in our lives to ultimately use us for His honor and glory. This is a "must read" for everyone.

This is the powerful and true life story of a man named Harold Morris, who was convicted and sentenced to a life in prison, and the long and difficult road to his personal, moral and spiritual redemption.

This is an excellent book where the writer tells us how he ended up in the Georgia State PRISON with two life sentences for a crime(robbery and murder) that he didn't commit. He goes back to the beginning when he was a teen and retraces his footsteps-the ones that took him to prison. Somehow, through the blessings of God he found Jesus Christ inside that rathole of a prison and his whole life changed forever. If you know someone in trouble with the law, someone who is searching for answers, get this book and GIVE it to them. READ IT to them if you have to. It can make a big difference! Harold Morris is an excellent writer and I have already started reading another of his books-The Law of The Harvest and it is very good as well.

One of the best testimonies I have ever read! Couldn't put it down until finished. Difficult to see how this could happen in our country, but one can see how God uses all things to work for good.

I saw this video some 17 years ago and have bought the book twice since. Harold is an excellent communicator relating his true life story of Gods transforming love. Harold was a star athlete in high school and had a promising life, but he instead chose to party his life away and was betrayed by his "friends". He ended up in prison serving 2 life sentences for a crime he didn't commit, but his life was transformed from that of a troubled, angry young man into one of love, purpose, meaning, truth and beauty. Harold was befriended by the young son of a prison employee and some other Christians who showed Harold Gods love which worked a miracle on Harolds heart causing him to become a Christian himself and dedicate his life to helping others find Christ. Harolds story affected me greatly and the lessons I learned I put to use on a daily basis all these years later.
Thank you Harold and may God bless and keep you.
