The Last Hustle: A True Story - Paperback

by Shanti Einolander (Author), Kenny Johnson (Author)

For thirty-one years, Kenny Johnson's most fervent desire was to hear his name "ringing in the streets" as a hustler, thief, and pimp. Running parallel with that desire was a persistent seed of spiritual longing that would not leave him alone. Kenny was arrested thirty-seven times and spent much of his life in prison or on the run. Each time behind bars sent him into a deep and profound despair. Eventually, his desire for lasting freedom would drive him to find a power that could not only get him through his final sentence, but free him from prison forever. The Last Hustle is the story of Kenny's life as a criminal and his spiritual transformation through his experiences during his incarceration.
