the dixie pebworth story

 “I sentence you to a total of eighty years in the Department of Corrections.” The judge struck the desk with his gavel. 

Considered a criminal by the court system and labeled as a threat to society, Dixie Pebworth—a twenty-four year old convicted drug dealer—was sent to a prison that was known as a “gladiator school” in the 1980s. Raised by the streets from the age of nine, his heart turned cold as he became an infamous drug dealer. Lost in the cycle of drug abuse, drug dealing, and crime, the odds were that he would never get out of prison alive.  

But God had a different plan when the cell door slammed open and one unexpected night changed everything. A plan that no man—except a praying grandmother—could have ever expected. In Death Was My Next Step, you will experience a series of miracles as God transforms a young drug dealer's life from inside the prison walls. God began to do what authority figures could not do: disarm Dixie by showing him something he’d never experienced before—unyielding love. 

Decades after his conversion, thousands of addicted, homeless, and incarcerated individuals have found their way to Jesus through the message of this heart-healing pastor. Dixie Pebworth’s transformation from death to a fresh life will give you new hope.
