Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Throughout LeRoy Green’s childhood and adulthood, he would endure pain, suffering, disrespect, and abuse. He would spend his early adulthood pursuing the world and giving himself over to alcohol, partying, clubbing, and drugs. Had he not turned his life over to Christ to guide his footsteps, thoughts, and decisions, LeRoy knows he would have a different story to tell. Beginning his police life as a detention deputy working in a jail, LeRoy faced racism, injustice, and a system that worked against him. However, through hard work and—most importantly—through relying on God, LeRoy would work his way up over the years to become the first African American sheriff in Kansas. God would also open the door for LeRoy to travel all around the United States and abroad. LeRoy firmly believes that if God had not been standing by his side, he would have given up early in his life. But God was right there beside him, helping him walk through his circumstances, decisions, and the challenges he would face throughout his years.
