Author Luke McCormick had served as an Ohio State Trooper for almost ten years. He loved his job, and he served the state of Ohio with pride, integrity, and honor. But all the years of service—all the awards, accolades, recognition, and honor—was all stripped from him in one night’s time. None of the training he received could have prepared for the events of one night, a night that forever changed the course of his life.

In From Shackles (Badge #741) to Freedom (Inmate #429-490), McCormick narrates how his career ended and how he served ten years in prison for felonious assault against his wife. In this memoir, he shares his experiences while incarcerated and shows how he was awakened to the fullness of who God really is. McCormick discusses how his prison time gave him the opportunity to truly know God, forming a close and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

McCormick tells how his prison experience changed him in ways only he and God could know. Through his suffering, McCormick grew to “Him,” who holds his every breath in the palm of his hands.
