Overview

Remarkable, sardonic, and wry tales from the trials of life by an American lawyer on his journey toward faith. - A mountaintop standoff with desperado criminals in the 70s; - Dodging anti-war militants and police billy clubs during the Viet Nam War; - The Hunger Games dystopia of a legal Mega-Firm; - His encounters with gang-bangers and white collar monsters; and - The sometimes horrifying, funny, poignant, and downright implausible reality of a criminal defense practice. Above all, the astonishing miracles and angels in disguise that are why Clifford Nichols remains able to tell his Tales. You'll laugh and cry at the sardonic humor, wit and wisdom drawn from Nichols' life-and-death experiences through the decades. Most of all, by reading this memoir, you'll discover the truth that God is real and God is good.

""A Barrister's Tales contains riveting tales told by a master yarn spinner. I couldn't put it down."" Orson Bean, Actor, Director, Producer & Author ""A Barrister's Tales is entertaining, witty, unpredictable and profound. Nichols' storytelling pulls you into his worlds and never lets you go until each memoir makes its mark on you. From the 1929 Depression-era to the rise of Hollywood in the thirties, to the radical 60s and into the world of law and justice in the 80s and 90s--it tells the tales of a sardonic lawyer on a spiritual journey toward God's providence."" Brian Godawa, Bestselling author, Chronicles of the Nephilim ""A Barrister's Tales is a book that is likely to touch all hearts --but particularly the skeptical--in a powerful way. I was mesmerized by how God worked in Cliff 's life to get his attention. Too many people believe God doesn't exist or if He does He's not involved in their every day lives. The truth is God created each of us for a special purpose and to be in a relationship with Him. If you doubt this is true, I dare you to read this book! Hopefully you will see a little bit of yourself and your life's experiences in these stories. And for the rest who already have a relationship with Papa God, this book will build your faith. Truly, a good read."" Amanda Pecott, Psalm139LOVE Ministries, Haiti
