**How a bomb-making white supremacist, once called "the most dangerous man in Mississippi," met Jesus in prison and emerged a committed advocate for Christian discipleship, peace, and racial justice.**
As a high school student in the 1960s, Tom Tarrants was seduced by extremist ideology and radicalized during the social upheaval of the era. Before long, he became involved in the reign of terror spread by Mississippi's dreaded White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, described by the FBI as the most violent rightwing terrorist organization in America. Shot multiple times and arrested by police after an attempt to bomb the home of a Jewish leader in Meridian, MS, Tom was sentenced to thirty years in the Mississippi State Penitentiary. After recovering from near-fatal wounds, Tarrants and two other inmates escaped. An FBI SWAT team tracked them down, killing one of the convicts, and Tom spent the next three years alone in a 6'x9' cell. Tom began a search for truth that led him to the Bible and a reading of the gospels, resulting in his conversion to Christianity and liberation from racial hate and violence.
After serving only eight years of a thirty-five-year sentence, Tom attended college, moved to Washington, DC, and became co-pastor of a racially mixed church. He went on to earn a doctorate and became the president of the C.S. Lewis Institute, where he devoted himself to helping others become wholehearted followers of Jesus. A dramatic story of radical transformation, this book demonstrates that hope is not lost even in the most tumultuous of times, such as our own.

This brilliant, fast-moving autobiography reads like a legal thriller but even better. Every part of it is real. From the author's attempted bombing of a Jewish man’s house to his tearful surrender to Christ to his ministry outside prison, Tarrants tells a cracking story of how he was sucked into the counterfeit Christianity of the Ku Klux Klan and how Jesus redeemed him from it. His tale is honest, compelling, repentant, heartbreaking and hopeful. This is a man who has had his many sins forgiven, and now loves much. It’s no wonder others who have met Tarrants have thrown off their own counterfeit Christianity, and fully surrendered to the Lord Jesus. The best autobiography I’ve read for a very long time.
