A Year in a Life Sentence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615645544)

The author, a convicted murderer sentenced to 34-years-to-life, shares his daily walk on a California prison yard while struggling to co-exist with rapists, child molesters, gang members, and other murderers. A Year in a Life Sentence is a candid look behind the barbed wire topped walls and steel doors to a world where getting along is usually discarded for anything goes and survival of the fittest. Here, the author shows that it is possible to seek God's grace, strength, and enlightenment in every situation. Gregory's honesty in his own shortcomings is refreshing and a reminder of every Christian's battle to be Christ-like. "It ain't easy," is a trumpeter's call for Christians to admit that sin envelops every one of us, and the 'world' hates us, but regardless of where we are in our walk or where we are walking it, God's grace is sufficient. For the Christian and non-Christian, A Year in a Life Sentence provides hope that all men and women regardless of many wrong turns can set their feet on a straight path. In addition, as Gregory clearly depicts, the path will never be smooth, and obstacles abound to test growth. However, if you have even a small measure of faith and depend on the Lord throughout, if you falter and fall, you will overcome, and like Christ rise again.
