In It for Life

By Brian P. Scott and Brad Strain

He was jumped into the gang at the age of 15, and spent most of his life in and out of prison. In his teens he'd been called Loco, Crazy Crazy and C Loc. Twenty years later, he tried to leave the gang life behind, arriving in rural North Dakota with nothing but some faded prison tattoos and a daily hangover. But no matter where he moved, he could never leave Loco behind.

Brad Strain was a man who was always willing to do anything to belong, who spent his life searching all the wrong places for family and protection. He was a man who kept pushing forward - all swagger and sweat - until he woke up in a hospital with no more moves to make. But it is finally there, at the edge of despair, that he encountered hope.

In it for Life is the epic true story of an American gangster. It is a wild ride, filled with action and humor along with honest confession. But more than all of this, it is a story of Jesus, shining through some remarkable people so that Brad, with a broken body and nothing to his name, could finally, truly live.

Customer Reviews

Brad Strain and Brian Scott really know how to write.

The book catches your attention from the git go. A young boy with a wicked nickname lives life on the edge and pays the price big time. I used to work in the jail so his descriptions of prison and detention centers were of interest to me. It's not for the lily- livered. I read it twice it was so good. Carol
