Had Huck Finn grown up during the seventies in the suburbs of L.A. this could have easily been his story. Unlike the adventures of Mark Twain's fictional character, the accounts recorded in this book are all true. At age fourteen, Terry Michaels recited the sinner's prayer with a street evangelist. This was not the beginning of the new life Terry had wished for. Before long this dejected teen fell prey to hypocrisies, abuses and false allegations within the church. Hurt, rejection and disappointment ultimately paved way for Terry to turn his back on Christianity. But Christ did not turn his back on Terry.
