Testimonials

What an incredible story of a life radically transformed by God! This book tells the story of Mike Hardy, who spent years as a drug trafficker and money launderer in South Florida, eventually doing time in federal prison for his crimes. Just before landing in prison, he met Jesus Christ and while incarcerated began to study the Bible diligently and to share his faith with other prisoners. But more than just Mike’s powerful testimony, “In Pursuit of the Promised Land” addresses the temptation we all face to find our own “promised land” in things that will never satisfy, like pleasure, performance, possessions, position, and people. This book is infused with powerful and pointed scripture verses that will encourage and challenge every believer to find their hope, joy and fulfillment in Christ alone. I could not put this book down. It is a riveting and inspiring read.

Beth (From Goodreads)

As Christ followers we all have a story and are all in pursuit of the promised land. As I read Mike’s story, I could feel his pain and his struggles and definitely laughed at him a bit. By the end of the book, I was definitely closer in my pursuit. If you are not a believer, don’t worry, you will be by the end.

I find that far too many Christians not only recall past sin, pain, and hurt, but also drag that experience into their everyday life. My heart breaks for them as they speak of their past sins and painful memories. I have listened to stories that left me in tears. But my heart also breaks for their inability to move forward.
