The book was written about my life that covers all the bad things I went through and bad things I did. It covers things about the military and the prison he worked in and the life that inmates go through including, his time working on death roll and how execution are carried out in the state of Florida. It also covers his time when he also became a inmate himself. Wanted to write about what happens when a person comes out the system and how going through hell doesn't mean that you can't receive God's Grace.

Anyone can obtain God's Grace, it is free. God sent His son to die for everyone so that we may have His Grace though Him.
