For twenty years, Slade Smith was slave to meth, living the violent lifestyle of a body guard for drug dealers and serving as yard captain for the Aryan Brotherhood while in prison. As a junior in high school, he tried meth for the first time and was instantly hooked on a substance that turned a lovable, hardworking athlete into a monster. Like the prodigal son who wound up in the pig pen, Slade found himself on the garbage heap of society before crying out to God. The Monster and the Miracle is the gripping story of a man trapped in drug addiction, who miraculously escaped enslavement to the demands of meth's demonic torment through the power of Jesus Christ. Slade's story is a demonstration of the extravagant love that God has for a hopeless sinner, and Jesus's supremacy over the works of Satan.
