CHANGING LIVES
GAMBLERS - PREACHERS - MAFIA BOSSES

Three men had taken the same journey, all for different reasons. All had entered the same road, Route 91, going to the same town, Las Vegas, all at the same time of the afternoon, but on different days of the week.

Each had witnessed the same sun as it was beginning to hide behind the mountains and had felt the same hot desert wind as it whipped up the sand covering their cars. The tragedies that lay ahead of them would have never crossed their minds, nor could they have guessed what God had in store for each of them. One of the three men was a gambler by the name of Tom Barnett, whose nickname was Fats. Another was a preacher named Joseph Allen, a traveling evangelist. The third, Johnny Marcello, was a member of a Chicago mob family. His father, Anthony Marcello, headed up the Mafia in the United States.

Only one of the three will survive, but the one survivor will have no memory of who he is, due to the car wreck after leaving Vegas. Some say he is the preacher, but he has his doubts. Follow his life story as God leads him to his true identity. A mystery all the family will enjoy, giving everyone in the family a wonderful feeling of hope, knowing God is always in control.

The story begins in the city of Chicago in the fall of 1903, shortly after Johnny, who had not yet been named, was left at an orphanage.
