With chains binding him to the edge of insanity, his cry echoes off the jail cell walls: “God help me!”
Armenian immigrant Roger Munchian grew up among the violence and hopelessness of Los Angeles. Despite the surrounding violence, Munchian was a model student. No one would have suspected the hidden life of drugs, thievery, and violence bubbling behind that facade. His unquenchable thirst for money and power led him to build a multi-million dollar empire on drugs and violence. He ran fast. He ran hard. It took highway death and carnage to finally stop him. The high-speed collision with a highway median wall left twelve-time felon Munchian strapped to the crazy chair in a Maricopa County jail. Booked on two counts of vehicular homicide, he was certain to face death row.
His road to wealth and power was bloody, as was his road to salvation. God heard his cry for help and arrived at his jail cell that night with a miracle. For the first time in Munchian’s life, God was real. But his past caught up to him and his luck – bought by slick, high-priced lawyers and easy money – ran out. Munchian faced a lifetime of incarceration. His only hope was in the grace of God and the only way out of the mess was by turning his life completely over to Him.
Based on a true story. Rescued Not Arrested is a story of how God shows Himself in our deepest depths of hopelessness – and how His love rescues us from our own paths of destruction.
3 reviews for Rescued Not Arrested
This book is for anyone. It’s for those who love seeing God’s redemptive power on display. It’s for those who aren’t even sure God cares. It’s for those who are in prison, as much as it is for those who are free. It’s for the helpless, the hopeless, the broken, the forgotten, the “Yu don’t know what I’ve done.” It’s for the person who already has it “all together.” It’s for YOU!
I devoured this one in about a day. It’s such an easy read, despite the seriousness these pages address. I loved reading Munchian’s story. I loved seeing his mess turned into a message of hope. I loved reading about the millions this message has reached.
A powerful testimony
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2023
As an active memeber of our associational jail ministry this book was extremely helpful in forming the way I will now do my ministry. H. Roger Munchian’ testimony is raw. An Armenian immigrant to East Los Angeles, “Roger Rabbit” tells of his rise from his family’s struggling sub shop to multi-million dollar drug dealer. He pulls no punches telling about drug deals, gang violence and shoot-outs.
A high speed collision with a median, which nearly killed two women, while intoxicated lands Munchian in jail. While in the “crazy chair” he calls out for God to help him. That moment changed Roger Rabbit’s life. When he is later arrested for his drug offenses there was a scene that help to refocus my own ministry.
His bunk mate asks him he is a Christian to which he says yes. There is some dialog about the apsotle Paul being in jail while writing his letters. Finally Munchian tells him “He (God) will be with me wherever I go.” To which his cellmate says “If you was God, would you hang out in stink like this?” Roger replies “I believe that this is especially where God wants to hang out. This is where the lost are.”
Wow. I photocopied that out of my book and glued it to the inside cover of my ministry bible. Thank you Roger Rabbit for teaching this jail minister what it really takes to be effective in jail ministry. You may have wrote this book to help people in prison and but you really helped this minister
