From Convict to CEO

Being a convicted felon isn’t easy. Losing the trust of everyone around you is even worse. Going from the very top of life to the absolute bottom, that’s . . . well, you get the picture. But that’s exactly what happened to Bill Dallas. When years of shady financial dealings finally caught up with him, Bill found himself facing a five-year sentence in San Quentin State Prison.

During his years as Prisoner #H64741, Bill learned to be free from the confines of the world, even while wearing the chains of his crimes. The lessons he learned behind bars were all the more valuable because his teachers were Lifers—men who had committed such terrible crimes that they were serving life sentences. Many of Bill’s best friends were Lifers who had found the love of Christ and dedicated the remainder of their lives to His service.

Bill served his time and embarked on a new life with God in control. Now CEO of a successful company, Bill uses stories and reflections from life on the inside to illustrate the twelve core principles he learned there—lessons that will inspire readers to use tough times to develop the character God wants them to have.
