Author of the instant bestseller Twice Pardoned and subject of a film series by the same title, ex-con Harold Morris is well known for having looked adversity square in the eye. As a young man, he traded a bright future for the bright lights. But life in the fast lane ended abruptly when he was fingered for armed robbery and murder, and mistakenly sentenced to a double-life term at the state penitentiary. There, sandwiched between two killers on death row, he thought his life was over. It was only through extended conversations with loving friends and family members that he finally fell to his knees in his roach-infested cell and opened his heart to the Saviour.
In Beyond the Barriers, Morris now details how he overcame incredible barriers through tough faith. Indeed, he talks about God and grace, life and love as only an ex-con can.
In this anecdotal look at life on both sides of prison bars, Morris describes a parade of hurting and heart-warming people by mixing large shares of bravado and desperado, laughter and lunacy, tears and tenderness. The pages come alive with old, grizzled convicts and young deserted orphans; with tough-acting teens and putty-hearted toughs. Many of these real people, both young and old, have endured every human disadvantage possible, yet refuse to accept defeat.
Through their lives, you'll see glimpses of your own; through their hardships, you'll find answers to your own. Like Twice Pardoned, Beyond the Barriers is a book that readers of all ages will pass on to friends. It's a book that will move you to tears and to laughter. But more than anything else, Beyond the Barriers will move you to love.
