The Ride: A True Story of Finding Freedom Behind Bars

Larry Andrews once thought he had it all. The senior class president and former athlete had a great family, bright future, and he became successful at an early age making lots of money; so much money that he lived an out-of-control lifestyle filled with booze, parties, and finally, drugs. But, his life imploded. That’s what meth does; it tears apart everything good and leaves the user with a life usually shattered beyond repair. After escaping close calls again and again, Andrews was arrested in 2001 on drug charges he couldn’t shake. While sitting in a stark jail cell, facing a 20-year mandatory prison sentence, God made Himself known in a stunning, extraordinary way. This is the compelling true story of how God can transform a life so messed up, it seems unsalvageable. From the first page to the last, the book speaks these truths to every reader: you, too, can be forgiven, leave the past behind, move forward, embrace the adventures of a faith-filled life, and truly enjoy ... The Ride.
