Wanted

by Richard David Coss

By the time he was 25, the author was a dangerous and incorrigible criminal. What counselors, psychologists, sociologists, correction officers, special schools, threats, and prison had been unable to do in 16 years was accomplished in 15 minutes at a prison meeting of Christian businessmen. A powerful personal chronicle of life behind bars and of Christian ministry after conversion and release.

Richard David Coss' future didn't look very bright. He had spent years in and out (more in than out) of juvenile facilities and correctional institutions. Each time he got caught for something, he went to jail, met up with friends, learned a few new tricks, and then went back out into society to break the law again. It seemed that even if Richard had wanted to change (which he didn't at the time) he was far too deep into his self destructive cycle of drugs, drinking, and gaining an ever expanding rap sheet.

Then, when everything seemed the bleakest, Richard David Coss' life did change. Like many in prison, Richard found God (or realized that God was right there for him all the time). However, unlike many of those individuals, Richard actually succeeded in turning his life around so that he could bring hope to those that are lost like he had once been.

Wanted is an inspiring story about change. An example of real change that will inspire and give hope to those individuals who don't realize that someone cares about them.
