A handsome but naive young man from the country leaves his rural hometown after the death of his mother and grandmother and goes to the big city. Although a brilliant student, he had found it necessary to drop out of high school four years earlier to care for and support them. He thought he would find a better life in the city, but found nothing but trouble. While trying to do a favor for a man who had befriended him, he is arrested on a drug charge, wrongly convicted and jailed for six months, a first timer. Inmates try to teach him their criminal ways and it almost leads him into a life of crime. When released he meets a beautiful Criminal Psychology student and joins her in an activist movement that her group has organized to make it unlawful to jail first timers in the same cells with hardened criminals. They fall madly in love, but then find that both have vowed to retain their virginity until marriage. Neither has contemplated marriage and they find themselves locked in a fierce battle with temptation.

Rarely does one have the opportunity to take a journey through someone else's life. Especially a life that witnessed some of modern history's most significant events. Imagine someone who lived during the sinking of the Titanic, the first radio broadcast, man landing on the moon and the introduction of the Internet, not to mention both World Wars and at least a half dozen other major military conflicts all in a single lifetime. The life experience of George W. (Joe)Huff were every bit as varied and colorful as the changes in the world around him. Come along as the stories unfold one after the other, decade by decade. Witness first-hand how God orchestrates an extraordinary series of events through the life of an ordinary man, just as He did so often with people of the Bible. Joe describes in his own words, recorded years before his death, how God protected him time and time again, forgave him of his transgressions and transformed his life into one of service resulting in a legacy that would last for all eternity.
