By the Book, From the Book: From Humble Beginnings, to Tragedy, to Redemption - Paperback

by Edward L. Roman (Author), John Desimone (Author)

The Mexican mafia, the Bloods and the Crips, O.J. Simpson, the Menendez brothers, and the many hardened criminals a deputy sheriff had to deal with from day to day in the LA County jails and streets.

This book details a young man who came from migrant parents with a calling to serve from a Christ-centered perspective. The calling to lay oneself down and to sacrifice life and limb despite the evil in this current society. From the honor and wisdom taught by a father, to loving compassion brought forth by a caring mother, which shaped and influenced a boy to become a man of God.

This is a story of a man who tried to live by honor, only to fall into sin and a self-indulgent lifestyle. Stepping away from the oath of holy living and a beautiful marriage and entering the depths of depravity and destruction that only the hand of God could restore.
