Unchained: The Story of Mac Gober
Mac Gober grew up with an unholy appetite for violence and brutality. After a stormy adolescence, his unhappy family life drove him to military service in the jungles of Vietnam where he honed his skills in the fine arts of Karate and getting stoned. When Mac returned home, he left the war behind, but it wouldn't leave him. Horrifying flashbacks of screaming, dying voices and staccato gunfire poisoned Man's days and haunted his nights. Only an outlaw motorcycle gang provided enough camaraderie, cruelty and craziness to give Mac a sense of belonging. A Craving for the "adrenaline high" of the brutal biker lifestyle sent him roaring across America, leaving a trail of bruised, broken victims behind. Finally, his body reeking, his mind fried, his emotions twisted by paranoia and rage, Mac was headed for certain death. But then he has an encounter with another dying man. This One was hanging on a cross. And He loved Mac Gober - just the way he was. This encounter changed Mac forever.

I was given a signed copy of this book by a friend with the inscription, "If you ever need me, call me." I read the book and loved it. Years later I was so desperate considering suicide, I asked him to visit me in the county jail and he did although we had never met before personally! This book is about a man who was in Vietnam and in the Outlaw biker lifestyle. God reached out to him and he accepted the invitation. The story goes on after the end of the book to him being real and caring about individuals and taking the time to help lost and lonely individuals even though he is busy leading a great ministry for Christ called Canaan Land. I love this book and this man. Reading it and then him coming to see me when I called, changed my world and my view of Christians. He is the real deal. This book is a must read. It's captivating. It may change your life.

A really honest book that doesn't pull any punches but pulls you in for a hug at the same time. You can tell he really cares about Jesus and reaching young people who are hurting. Amazing to see what change God can do to someone's life.
