About this listen

When you feel like you've made too many missteps to go forward, how do you find the strength to carry on? Join Casey Diaz as he tells the remarkable story of God's heart for second chances.

The son of El Salvadorian immigrants, Casey Diaz was brought to Los Angeles at the age of two. An abusive, impoverished family life propelled Casey into the Rockwood Street Locos gang at just eleven years old.

Casey was willing to do anything to be number one, but years of chasing rival gang members led to a dramatic ambush and arrest by the LAPD. By age sixteen, Casey was sentenced to more than twelve years in solitary confinement in California's toughest prison as one of the state's most violent offenders.

He thought his life was over--but as the days in solitary wore on, Casey realized someone else was calling the shots. What happened next can only be described as a miracle.

Join Casey as he shares how we can all:

  • Embrace the incredible gift of God's redeeming love
  • Change our lives for the better
  • Find our God-given purpose

A visceral insider's look at the violent world of gangs and prison life, The Shot Caller is a remarkable demonstration of God's reckless, unending grace, and desire to reach even the worst of sinners--no matter where they are.

Praise for The Shot Caller:

"When I read about the life of Casey Diaz, I see so much of my own life. This is a story of a tough young man who lost his way, and of a loving God who never forgot him, no matter where he was. I know you will be inspired by Casey's story. I hope you, too, will surrender to the love of Jesus Christ."

A wonderful story about God's mercy at the present day. I wish this book would have lasted double as long as it did.
Fantastic reading performance.

Wow, what a story

This book is incredible! A completely open and honest account of a life transformed and being used for God’s glory! Being a Christian myself, I love reading about people’s conversions. This book will have you crying just like it did with me, but also be in awe of just how God works in each and every situation!

You must listen to this!
