The Other Side of the Coin: The Spiritual Life of a Black Man Held Captive in Angola Prison for 40 years Each sentence of this chilling autobiographical account makes readers turn the pages eager for the next unfolding in this remarkable man’s life. Robert Howard recounts the violent, bestial life of prison that he faced at the young age of 15 in 1963. Rising to the demands of prison life, Howard became one of the strongest leaders Angola has ever seen. First, he led in crime and corruption and then as Divine light flooded his heart and mind, he led in non-violence and kindness. “A drama that reflects the heart of all men,” says P.J. Owens, literary editor for the South-by-South Review. Now available on audio CD, listen as the great gospel singer Jerome L. Jackson reads this remarkable story.
