This book, Gathering Israel, captures a small part of a global religious movement. From its perspective, we gain an appreciation for the miracle that is the gathering of God's covenant people. It is the story of two individuals, Michael Morton and John Wudel, who come from two very different spiritual backgrounds. Michael grew up as a Jew, while John grew up as a Methodist. Both men loved the religions of their youth, but they both felt something was missing. As time goes on, they end up searching for the same answers. They sense that what is absent from their lives is a fuller truth that can lead them to their own spiritual salvation. Their search takes them along two very different paths, but eventually they meet and find that both have come to the same conclusions. Both have discovered that the complete truth of God's Plan is on the earth and if you want to find it badly enough, God will show you His truths when you are ready to accept them. Michael and John have filled their book with personal revelation and stories as their testimony that Heavenly Father loves each one of us, no matter who we are, or what our circumstances. Gathering Israel celebrates the miracle of the spiritual and literal gathering of the Twelve Tribes of Israel in this, the Last Dispensation.

On August 13, 1986, just one day after his thirty-second birthday, Michael Morton went to work at his usual time. By the end of the day, his wife Christine had been savagely bludgeoned to death in the couple's bed-and the Williamson County Sherriff's office in Texas wasted no time in pinning her murder on Michael, despite an absolute lack of physical evidence. Michael was swiftly sentenced to life in prison for a crime he had not committed. He mourned his wife from a prison cell. He lost all contact with their son. Life, as he knew it, was over. Drawing on his recollections, court transcripts, and more than 1,000 pages of personal journals he wrote in prison, Michael recounts the hidden police reports about an unidentified van parked near his house that were never pursued; the bandana with the killer's DNA on it, that was never introduced in court; the call from a neighbouring county reporting the attempted use of his wife's credit card, which was never followed up on; and ultimately, how he battled his way through the darkness to become a free man once again. "Even for readers who may feel practically jaded about stories of injustice in Texas-even those who followed this case closely in the press-could do themselves a favour by picking up Michael Morton's new memoir…It is extremely well-written [and] insightful" (The Austin Chronicle). Getting Lifeis an extraordinary story of unfathomable tragedy, grave injustice, and the strength and courage it takes to find forgiveness.
