Saved at Fifty-One By: Dr. Cardell C. Portis You may see my glory, but you don’t know my story. Before he was saved on September 2, 2007, Dr. Cardell C. Portis lived his life like the devil was in him. At 9, Dr. Portis took his first drink. At 17, he was unaware of demons latching on to him after a friend performed a satanic ritual. In the army, he was a womanizer and a thief. But when a brutal truck accident caused some brain damage, his life took a particularly dark turn. Drugs provided the only relief from the constant pain after the accident. In out and out of jail and in out of rehab, Dr. Portis struggled to find hope and purpose. Then one simple act of kindness changed his life forever. Freed from addiction, he found himself in a church, saved by God for a new purpose. Gritty and real, Saved at Fifty-One is an honest look at one man’s life without and with God. The Lord had a plan for Dr. Portis – and He has one for you. There is always hope for salvation.
I originally developed this book for my networking students at the community college where I teach and it is at their urging I have decided to publish this book. Since then, thousands of copies have gone out and the book has been adopted at several other colleges and schools. My goal was to produce a book that was targeted to a single topic (IPv4 subnetting) that was inexpensive, and was easy to read (less than 100 pages). I also wrote the book to be used from time to time; not relegated to a shelf where it would gather dust. My students have loved the book over the years and I know you will too.
