About the Book

Discover hope as you see redemption even in the darkest circumstances. Ronald Olivier shares his dramatic and powerful story of how a young man sentenced to life without parole miraculously found faith, forgiveness, redemption, and restoration. As a teenager Ronald Olivier ran wild in the streets of New Orleans, selling drugs, stealing cars, and finally killing someone on Christmas Day 1991. Ron was sentenced to life in prison without parole and was incarcerated for nearly three decades. Finally, after being locked up for 27 summers at the notorious Louisiana State Penitentiary--known as Angola--Ron was miraculously released in 2018. But what led to this amazing transformation and newfound freedom? 27 Summers recounts Ron's journey of redemption and how even through the agony of solitary confinement and multiple transfers into increasingly dangerous prison environments, Ron kept seeking God for healing and hope. Remarkably, he became the director of chaplains at Mississippi State Penitentiary. Today, Ron loves to combat hopelessness, wherever he finds it, by saying, "Don't tell me what God can't do!"  As you read 27 Summers you will: Gain a new perspective on overcoming adversity: Learn new insights about faith and patience from a man who spent almost three decades in a cruel and violent environment. Explore the power of faith in dark times: Discover how faith can be a guiding light, offering hope and strength when you need it most. Understand the true meaning of forgiveness: Be encouraged to find grace and forgiveness to overcome the pain of your past. Find the hope you need for trying times: Take heart and be inspired as you witness the reality that God can redeem and restore anyone.    In 27 Summers you will find hope, redemption, and the power of forgiveness. Ron's inspiring story brilliantly displays God's power to transform individuals, families, and communities, reminding us that there truly is nothing God can't do.

Review :
27 Summers is an incredible journey into the power of redemption. Ronald Olivier's story takes us on a rollercoaster from his wild youth in the streets of New Orleans to the Louisiana State Penitentiary, where he finds salvation and solace through faith in God. This book is an inspiring tale that shows how even in our darkest moments, we can find hope, peace, and freedom if we choose to turn to God. Ronald is a great example to others that anyone seeking God and redemption can find his way out of the pits of hell-- from a life of crime and prison-- and into a life of helping others. 27 Summers is a must- read. Gritty, terrifying yet truly uplifting! I first met Ronald Olivier in prison. An experience I thought I would never take part in. Since meeting Ronald and learning about his story, I've wanted nothing more than for the world to hear it and meet the man who inspired me. 27 Summers will change your perspective on life, faith, and love. Ronald did that for me. His story will do the same for you. I can't wait for you to read about Ronald and learn what I learned: that change is not only possible but also probable when you encounter Jesus. Thank you Slim, for sharing your story with the world. We need it. Ronnie Slim is a living testimony to God's redemptive power. In the depths of one of America's most notorious prisons, he discovered unimaginable healing, hope, and God's purpose for his life. 27 Summers tells the story of God's abounding love, proving that even in the darkest of circumstances, He is with us and provides a way out. This inspiring, powerful, and important memoir is so timely as we continue to reckon with decades of over- incarceration and excessive punishment. Ron Olivier makes redemption accessible to us all. This inviting, encouraging, and inspiring book is the read you've been wait-ing for! Ronald Olivier's journey of flaws and failures led to a life of faith and unusual triumph. 27 Summers beckons you to step behind prison walls with Ronnie and experience freedom born of God's grace and mercy, proof that He never counts anyone out. This is one of the most compelling comeback stories you will ever read. It will hold your attention on every page-- and ultimately lead you to your knees in wonder, love, and praise. Hugely recommended!
