From the Back Cover

"Somewhere along the line God stops us all to do a spiritual reality check. He disciplines those He loves and oh how He loves David Hairabedian. David's mother and mine were extremely close friends so I've known him since before he went to prison and worked with him with Heart Prison Ministries since 1993. I've witnessed his life being gloriously transformed from a self-focused darkness to a carrier of God's heart to the nations. This book captures the crash landing that erupted in a white-hot fire for God."

From the Inside Flap

Arrested with a Stolen Jet

It was 9:05 in the morning. The sun was shining as our crew drove the silver Mercedes to meet the pilot of the Cessna Citation II jet taxiing toward us on the tarmac ofthe executive airfield in Florida.

Something seemed off, but it was too late for the four of us to abort the mission.
We were committed.

The door ofthe plane opened and off stepped the pilot I'd met with two days earlier at aKansas City hotel room. He had agreed, for a price, to deliver a jet that wason our laundry list of planes we were stealing from the United States and delivering to the Colombians in South America.

This was our second plane in a month. The pick-up place was Boca Raton, the delivery location, Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, where the plane would be repainted in a hanger, data plates changed and then used in the cocaine trafficking world by the Cali Cartel.
Later I would discover two things: Boca Raton is translated, Mouth of the Rat, and abig rat was among us.

I pulled a bag filled with cash from our vehicle and stepped onto the plane to meet the pilot to hand over partial payment. The rest would be delivered once the plane was safely in the air. My pilot entered behind me in preparation to take the captain's seat.
In a matter of seconds, 20 plus federal agents descended on us from all four sides, in unmarked vehicles, running on foot, and all with weapons.

The next thing I knew a chrome 45 caliber pistol was pointed in my face while the agent was yelling, "Get your hands up, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!"

Everything was happening so fast. My head was spinning. My hands automatically went up in the air to display the international sign of surrender.

As I quickly assessed the roof situation it revealed two snipers with beads drawn on our other two crew members seated in the car.

I was ordered to put my hands on the wing of the plane. Everyone else was forced to the ground.

As I looked into the morning sunshine streaming down on my face I realized I was going to jail. This would not be an orange juice morning in South Florida. Rather, this was the beginning of, My Journey to Freedom...
