Mike Hardy's life plays out like a dramatic movie, with all of the ups and downs, twists and turns, as well as heartbreak and heart restoration. His life is a story of redemption. That's why he decided to write this book: "Every Man's Search for the Promised Land". Driven with a desire to share how God changed a pleasure-seeking cocaine smuggler into a follower of Jesus Christ, Hardy embarked on this path to publication, paving it in much prayer and expectation of how God might use his story to help others find true peace. Hardy, who has a bachelor's degree in education and a Master's degree in Religious Education, has spent over a decade teaching adult life groups and Sunday School classes, as well as serving as a volunteer preacher at Orlando Rescue Union Mission. Married for 10 years to his best friend, Judy, the Hardys make their home in the Sunshine State where they continue to follow God's calling for their lives.
