If Bill Dallas didn't have it all, he had most of it. A diploma from a prestigious university, a lucrative career as a top California real estate entrepreneur, and more than enough money to fund a life filled with sports cars, penthouses, and beautiful women. And then it all fell apart. Convicted of grand theft embezzlement, the former golden boy found himself in one of the nation's most infamous institutions--San Quentin, home of "the worst of the worst." He thought it was the end of everything. But the real story was about to begin. "Lessons from San Quentin" chronicles Bill's journey from narcissistic playboy . . . to suicidal inmate . . . to spiritual apprentice. Along the way, it introduces us to his unlikely mentors--San Quentin's "Lifers," who guided Bill to an unexpected relationship with God. Through a vivid and transparent recounting of stories from his prison experience, Bill shares 12 life principles he had to learn the hard way--and that can help you triumph over even the most difficult circumstances.
