MEADVILLE, Pa., Aug. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "God Don't Lie: A Memoir by a Former Racist Gang Member and All-Around Miscreant" is a compelling story that serves as a witness that no matter how dreadful the circumstances or no matter how terrible life currently is, God never fails to help in overcoming those trials. "God Don't Lie: A Memoir by a Former Racist Gang Member and All-Around Miscreant" is the work of published author Richard E. Smith, a regular contributor to Redeemed Magazine who has also had works published in Slab and Air Boating magazines and the Bayou Review.
"God Don't Lie" is the life story of Richard Smith, who has lived almost three decades inside some of the worst prisons in the state of Texas. At age five, his family moved to the big city of Houston. There his life spun completely out of control, resulting in drug abuse, violence, and multiple incarcerations as a juvenile.
At sixteen, he was arrested for murder, merely fifteen hours after being released from a juvenile facility. After being tried as an adult, he entered prison at age seventeen with a ninety-nine-year sentence.
After experiencing violence in some of Texas's worst prisons, he joined the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang. He worked his way up to the rank of captain and got lost in its world of violence and racism. He was placed in long-term solitary confinement in 1993 and spent the next thirteen years locked in a cage within the cage. He moved around to some of Texas's most violent prisons until one day, he woke up to the insanity of his life and decided to change.
In 2006, he was released from solitary confinement and began the long road of rehabilitation in a place not designed to rehabilitate. He achieved two associate degrees, as well as completed vocational trades in diesel mechanics and welding. At thirty-nine years of age, he turned his life to God and began living as a godly man inside the ungodly walls of the prison.
The title of this book rests on a statement made by his grandmother during a frantic call from his mom when he was arrested for murder. His mom thought he would be given the death penalty. His grandmother assured her that he would not because God had great things planned for his life, and "God don't lie."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Richard E. Smith's new book is a vivid manifestation that God has a dream for every person in the world and it will be fulfilled because God never lies.
With this book, Smith aims to inspire readers to acknowledge the presence of God in their hearts so they can see and feel the genuine love of God.
