This is one of the best books I've read in years. A young man who can't seem to get up on the right side of the law and a minister who can't seem to preach worth hearing yet still believes with all his heart. When the two meet in a supermax prison...the whole world takes on a different appearance.
Although fictional, this book came the closest anything has in explaining to me how God could forgive someone of a heinous crime when they repent and accept Jesus. I loved the characters and felt as if I knew them...to the point that I really loathed when the book ended and I knew I'd never see the again. The story was phenomenal and touched me deeper than anything I've read recently.
Even more...I cried as I read the book...and I can't say that for many books.
If you get the chance to read the book, it is an opportunity not to be passed up. The story surpasses every hope I have when I pick up a new book.
