"How his family survived the frightening ordeal with the drug cartel is awesome. This book is thrilling and inspiring..."
Nicky Cruz, whose life story was told in
The Cross and The Switchblade, by David Wilkerson

"His story is filled with intrigue and inspiration. The reader will not only get an insight into the drug dealer's world, but will see the depth of evil to which one goes when drugs, crime, and the love of money become a "god." This is a book to give to others struggling with a life-controlling problem."
