Acknowledgment

New York – From Crack To Christ: A Witness is a new, raw and remarkable memoir that is touching the hearts and spirits of readers worldwide.

“It is a marvelous testimony regarding the power of faith in the cure of addiction. Ms. April Cofield is truly a living witness of salvation through Christ,” said Reverend Calvin O. Butts III, Senior Pastor, Abyssinian Baptist Church, Harlem, New York.

From Crack To Christ: A Witness is the written testimony of the life of Mrs. Lambert, a former notorious Long Island career prostitute, crack addict and prison inmate, who speaks from experience about a pandemic that has gripped millions across the nation for decades. The book, insightfully co-authored with candid commentary by Robin Carmon Marshall, chronicles the improbable redemptive journey of Mrs. Lambert who, with God’s help, decided 19 years ago that enough was enough – and has been clean ever since. As director of the prison ministry at Memorial Presbyterian Church in Roosevelt, N.Y. for the past 14 years, Mrs. Lambert dedicates her life to reaching back and pulling others out of the sordid depths from which she climbed and has no apprehension about sharing her past life to the world.
