One dead, one living and one living dead

I met a guy recently who had a powerful testimony.

He told me that God had rescued him out of a destructive lifestyle. He said that he was into drugs and all sorts of illegal activity. He had two friends. Once they were arguing over money and one friend pulled a gun out and shot the other friend and killed him. He told me its at that point he cried out to God and God responded and helped turn his life around. He keeps in contact with his friend who murdered the other guy and now is doing life in prison. He said without God he would have not known where he might have ended up.
