Summary

A former Klansman describes his journey from racist, violent, criminal to the co-pastor of a racially mixed churchIn the 1960s Tarrants-- unsettled by the social upheaval of the era-- turned for answers to extremist ideology. In 1969, while attempting to bomb the home of a Jewish leader in Meridian, Mississippi, he was shot multiple times during a high-speed chase and arrested. After an escape attempt, Tarrants spent three years alone in a six-foot-by-nine-foot cell. There he began a search for truth that led him to the Bible, his conversion to Jesus Christ, and liberation from the grip of racial hatred and violence. Tarrants tells how he became copastor of a racially mixed church, and devoted himself to helping others become wholehearted followers of Jesus. --, adapted from jacket
