About the author
Glenn Langohr
216 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.

Gladiator by Glenn Langohr
Prison Killers Series – Volume 1
In Gladiator we once again find Benny Johnson, AKA – BJ, behind bars….or more like behind a door with honeycomb style holes. He violated parole and was sent to prison, again. Only this time he has left a wife behind, on the outside. We find him with his cellie, Damon, and like a soap opera we watch ‘The Prison Days of Our Lives’ play out. There is the tension between the races, Whites, Blacks, Asians and the different Mexican gangs. A cocky tower guard who enjoys taunting them causes even more waves. Some of the characters from the earlier books join BJ and Damon as well. And interesting new ones, like a young man with an identity crisis.
They wait for the right moments in time to handle business, revenge has a long arm. It’s also patient. Just waiting for the right person and time to carry it out. These books contain situations that are not for the faint of heart. This book may be fiction but the fact is that the violence does happen in the real world.
Glenn writes these stories in such a way that the emotional part grabs the reader and pulls you in. He will tell you the background of a young boy and how he ended up in prison. When his characters are hurt or die….you can almost feel the loss. He writes into the characters how life has hardened some and how others have kept that soft spot in their heart alive, somehow. Every book I have read so far from this author has influenced the way I think of those locked behind bars. Not all are the murderers and rapists. Some are still young and had nowhere to turn….except the streets.
**Language and violence. Considering the background of this book with drugs, gangs and prison, the author has kept all of this at a minimum.
