The Hoodlum Preacher

From prison to the pulpit, this con artist-turned church preacher went from standing in a police lineup to standing alongside Rev. Jesse Jackson. "The Hoodlum Preacher" details a life of crime and redemption, as a former drug addict now helps troubled youth and young prisoners avert a wasted life and to turn things around as he finally did.
