My Time Will Come: A Memoir of Crime, Punishment, Hope, and Redemption Free Audiobook Download by Ian Manuel

My Time Will Come: A Memoir of Crime, Punishment, Hope, and Redemption is a memoir from New Mexico author Ian Manuel. The book consists of the author's personal account that he was convicted of three murders and sentenced to death row. Manuel served 16 years on death row before being exonerated and released in 1999.

One summer afternoon in 1988, Miguel Flores stole a bicycle. He was sentenced to serve two years and three months at the George Washington Penitentiary, the largest maximum security prison in the world. It would be his first and last time inside any jail cell because mere weeks after his sentencing, he escaped through a tunnel with an accomplice, never again seen by society. Throughout the next twenty-one years of his life he would escape from prisons and arrest warrants in several countries.

Ian Manuel narrates this memoir of his past life, dealing with crime and punishment. He talks about the highs and lows he felt during his criminal career, the people he met along the way, and finally how his past shapes him into a man of hope and redemption. With each sentence it becomes clear that this is a powerful memoir filled with wisdom and insight from someone who has come through fire to reach success.

I can't tell you enough how much I loved this book. It was a slow and painful read, but it's well worth it. Manuel's autobiography is a story of crime and punishment, hope and redemption. This is one of those books that has me believe in humanity again.

Ian Manuel is a self-confessed criminal. He is not a violent, angry man with an axe to grind. He is a man who admits that he did wrong, and because of his crime he has received the most severe punishment. This memoir is about how Mr. Manuel finally found redemption for his mistakes and for himself.

Ian Manuel was a high school student when he began his criminal and drug-filled life. His time in prison taught him to respect the law, but he still never gave up on drugs or crime. The real change came with communicating with God through the radio station "Radio Free New York" after getting out of jail. Radio Free New York has now been recognized as one of the most effective drug prevention programs in the United States.
