Overview

So, how does a high school dropout, drug addict, prison inmate, and convicted felon go on to have a successful 34-year career with the most extensive passenger railroad system in the U.S.? And then, another 10 years as a professional railroad consultant? A series of bad choices led me to spend time in prison, but God watched over me. People came into my life who refused to give up on me. Through their ministry I found hope and the God of Second Chances. We all search for meaning and purpose and many wish they could go back and get a second chance. This is the story of how I was given that second chance by God. As you read this book it is my hope that you will find the same loving father that I found. God worked miracles in my life to rescue and change me. He can do the same for you.

I first met John in 2005 while touring job sites in southern California as Amtrak's chief engineering officer. Within an afternoon, it became clear that he was a highly competent engineer and a well-regarded high functioning individual. John was the indispensable man. I never suspected that he did not come from a traditional professional engineering background or that he had a troubled past. It didn't matter: all that counted was who he had become. John's story of redemption and personal growth is a tribute to the power of human tenacity and the abundance brought by strong faith. Rescued is an example, step by step, for young people with a troubled past to rebuild their lives. - David Hughes, Retired Amtrak President and CEO
