My own story is not so dramatic. I woke up in jail after a night of heavy drinking, next to murderers and rapists. I rededicated my life to the Lord and grabbed a Good News For Modern Man off the book cart and began reading. After 4 days in jail they finally said I could post bail so I called up my sister and she graciously said she would be right over even tho it was late. After I hung up the phone I sat on my bunk and opened up my Good News at random and read:
Galatians 5:1
1 So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.
Slavery is to sin, and the Gospel liberates.
