The Cold Gates Of Hell

The Cold Gates of Hell is based on the true story of how Lorenzo Spencer, Sr. was called to preach by God but ran from his calling because of his lack of knowledge. Spencer believes that it was because of God's will that he was punished not only for the crimes he committed but also for his disobedience. During his time in prison, Lorenzo fought many fights, which are detailed in this story. However, God still showed him favor by allowing him to win every single one. Ultimately, Spencer was given a message by God entitled, "You Cannot Serve God and Satan." This message caused many incarcerated gang members to withdraw from their gangs and give their lives to God. Eventually, gang leaders felt that Lorenzo was taking over their organizations, and ten gang members jumped him for preaching the gospel. This story chronicles prison life from Spencer's eyes and explores the actions of some of the hardest convicts that came through the dirty south prisons. Spencer exposes corrupt officers and convicts who ran the jail with a heavy hand, sometimes leading to death. He also gives an in-depth look at the infamous 1991 riot that took place inside the Memphis jail located at 201 Poplar. Read the autobiography of how God worked countless miracles through Lorenzo Spencer, which unto this day are hard for him to believe.
