From Crime To Christ

Produktbeschreibung

When I first published my story of conversion from Crime to Christ on the 11th February 2001, under the title, 'Converted on LSD Trip', I thought every one would be delighted to hear the good news. So I asked the Principal of Fareham College, where I was employed as a lecturer, to write a foreword to my book. I was very disappointed, surprised and hurt at his response. He said he would have nothing to do with a book, either privately or publicly, that overtly referred to drug taking. It was like he had judged the book by its cover and title, and so this volume is a reprint of the original story but more. I understood he was a Christian and thought that he would have been delighted and pleased to hear my story and have it told to all the world. You see I had written all about my past criminal life as a youth, my imprisonment for violence and drug taking, that led to my downfall. It was when I was down and at rock bottom experiencing the horrors during a bad trip on LSD that I cried out to God for help, asking Jesus please help me. He answered me on the 16th of January 1970 saying He was with me and would never leave me and that what I had been going through was nothing compared to what hell was like. You see the title of my book was, 'Converted on LSD Trip' and on its front cover was a write-up of the court case where I confessed to 24 crimes and a three-year career of undetected crimes, along with my former profligate life. So one thing I learned, some people judge a book by its cover. So this time my book has a different title and a different cover and written to remind my readers, religious and none religious friends, family and acquaintances that we have all sinned and cannot throw stones at others thinking we are better than them for as the Apostle Paul wrote 'such were some of you'. In other words, we are all in need of the salvation that I write about and have experienced. I was saved from a lifetime of crime, immorality, drug taking and hell having no peace with God, and I live to tell the story.
