Book excerpt: With chains binding him to the edge of insanity, his cry echoes off the jail cell walls: "God help me!" Armenian immigrant Roger Munchian grew up among the violence and hopelessness of Los Angeles. Despite the surrounding violence, Munchian was a model student. No one would have suspected the hidden life of drugs, thievery, and violence bubbling behind that facade. His unquenchable thirst for money and power led him to build a multi-million dollar empire on drugs and violence. He ran fast. He ran hard. It took highway death and carnage to finally stop him. The high-speed collision with a highway median wall left twelve-time felon Munchian strapped to the crazy chair in a Maricopa County jail. Booked on two counts of vehicular homicide, he was certain to face death row. His road to wealth and power was bloody, as was his road to salvation. God heard his cry for help and arrived at his jail cell that night with a miracle. For the first time in Munchian's life, God was real. But his past caught up to him and his luck – bought by slick, high-priced lawyers and easy money – ran out. Munchian faced a lifetime of incarceration. His only hope was in the grace of God and the only way out of the mess was by turning his life completely over to Him. Based on a true story. Rescued Not Arrested is a story of how God shows Himself in our deepest depths of hopelessness – and how His love rescues us from our own paths of destruction.
