What an outstanding read! I found Jeff's story to be completely fascinating. I was so engrossed that I discovered it was impossible to put the book down. The message that God can transform even the most hardened life is powerfully conveyed.
Desperate Highway
Desperate Highway is a raw, true story of crime, running, prison, and the moment Jesus completely transformed a life that seemed far beyond hope.
Also available in audiobook format.
About the Book
Desperate Highway tells the true story of Jeff's life before and after encountering Jesus Christ. For nearly fifteen years, Jeff Andrews lived a life defined by crime — running aliases, committing fraud, and moving through a criminal underworld that took him across the country and cost him everything.
By the time it was over, Jeff had accumulated 24 arrests, 7 felony convictions, and years inside federal prison. He had run from his past, from the law, and from himself — until the night in 1987 when everything changed inside Danbury Federal Prison.
This book doesn't sanitize the past. It tells the full story — the recklessness, the consequences, and the moment God reached into the wreckage of a broken life and made it new. Desperate Highway is written for anyone who has ever felt too far gone: people walking away from God, men and women in prison, those fighting addiction, and anyone who needs to know that no road is too desperate for grace to find them.

Excerpt Preview
Chapter One
1980. The pack of indescribably filthy outlaws had been on the road for three days straight, and the stolen Mercedes was running low on gas somewhere in the middle of Montana during a blizzard that was trying its best to kill them.
It was the kind of cold that made you stupid. The kind that crept into the car through every seal and gap and reminded you that nature didn't care who you were or what you'd done.
Jeff stared through the windshield at the white nothing ahead of them and thought, not for the first time, that this was exactly the kind of end a man like him deserved . . .
