About the author
Glenn Langohr
218 books70 followersGlenn Thomas Langohr is an American author, publisher, and Bible teacher whose work spans gritty prison memoirs, investigative nonfiction, and biblical prophecy studies.
Langohr first gained recognition for his raw, firsthand exposés of the California prison system and the drug war. His novel Roll Call: A True Prison Story of Corruption and Redemption was featured by Kirkus Discoveries, which compared its scope and realism to the drug-war film Traffic by Steven Soderbergh. His earlier Lock Up Diaries series documented racial segregation, corruption, and systemic abuse within California prisons and continues to be cited by readers seeking an unfiltered look behind prison walls.
In recent years, Langohr has shifted his primary focus to biblical teaching, early-church history, and end-times prophecy. His growing body of work on Amazon centers on what he calls the “Early Church Witness”—arguing that many popular modern doctrines are historically unsupported and contradicted by Scripture.
His major theological works include:
The Early Church on the Antichrist (Volumes 1 & 2) — documenting early Christian expectations of persecution and endurance rather than removal.
The Book of Enoch (1 Enoch) — a prophetic examination testing ancient claims against canonical Scripture.
The Great Deception and The Great Escape Delusion — critiques of “any-moment” rapture theology and modern end-times assumptions.
Endure to the End — For Kids — a multi-volume children’s series teaching faithfulness, discernment, and perseverance under pressure.
Langohr is highly active in online ministry, conducting verse-by-verse Bible studies and public teachings that emphasize repentance, holiness, endurance, and the authority of Scripture. His work frequently engages early Christian writers such as Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and Tertullian, and he openly challenges doctrines like Once Saved Always Saved, which he believes offer false assurance contrary to the teachings of Christ and the apostles.
Alongside his teaching ministry, Langohr remains committed to prison outreach and advocacy. Through Lockdown Publishing, he has helped incarcerated individuals publish their art and writings and has often donated his own books to prisoners and those unable to afford them.
Glenn Langohr is married to Dezi Langohr, who works alongside him in ministry. They continue to write, teach, and serve with a focus on truth, accountability, and faithfulness to Jesus Christ.

Upon Release From Prison by Glenn Langohr
Sequel to Roll Call
In Glenn's first book, Roll Call, we follow B.J. from his childhood being shattered and a path he takes that ends in incarceration. It's a detailed journey that makes you feel you are there through it all. Upon Release picks up where Roll Call left off...B.J. has been released from prison, living in a shelter and reconnected with an old acquaintance Annette. Annette is newly sober and still struggling to leave her past behind as well.
This time our journey with him shows the difficulty he faces...not for the first time...of re acclimating to life as a free man. They have to find jobs to stay at the shelter. Not only are jobs hard to come by, but when you have a record and/or you are a recovering addict, your chances go way down of being hired. B.J. just wants to get his book out there and selling and encourage those in prison with their writing, art, etc. Nothing happens fast enough and the old life is always there calling and teasing with it's 'easy' money. Through a series of misunderstandings--B.J. is soon on the lamb—again!
Many of the characters from Roll Call return. Both friends like Damon and foes such as Detective Pincher. There are some real surprises in this book. It is more fiction than Roll Call. But Glenn continues to add his past 'real life' experiences into his writing. We once again are in Mexico among the cartels, in prison where shots are still called to handle things on the outside, Pincher is still a stinker. The writing is still captivating and keeps you hanging on to the end. Be prepared for a mental work-out as well because B.J.is still a runner.
**Language, violence and sensual situations. Considering the background of this book with drugs, gangs and prison, the author has kept all of this at a minimum.

Upon Release From Prison picks up where "Roll Call" left off. A novel which is based on truth and personal experiences from Glenn Langohr. Glenn pens a novel of real people who face real problems and how they struggle to deal with them the only way they know how to, with their faith in God, in the real world. An extremely inspirational, must read for anyone who is, or knows of someone who is struggling with addiction.
