The remarkable transformation in his own life is now making a huge impact in so many other lives and this book will inspire you to see how God can use all of our stories for the good." – Matthew West, Christian Recording Artist “A poignant reminder that we all have “jail cells” we allow into our lives. More importantly, Cell 121 reminds us we can redeem our past, make new decisions, discover the reason we were born, and make a difference in the world. An inspiring and hopeful message for anyone feeling trapped.” - Dan Miller, NY Times bestselling author 48Days.com "Cell 121 is a raw reminder about how God's grace and love is for everyone. Rusty's life is the perfect example of how God's love can always bring hope no matter what we may be going through. This book is guaranteed to make you laugh, make you cry, inspire you to be the person God created you to be, and leave you yearning for more of Christ's love." - Mike Gesell, professional basketball player “For two reasons I recommend Cell 121. First, the honesty of Rusty Boruff shines through every page. I don’t read that level of vulnerability in many books. Second, with simple, easy-to-read sentences, he exposes his own heart, but even more important, he reveals the love of God that embraces those labeled as losers, despairing, and downtrodden.” - Cecil Murphey is the author or coauthor of more than 130 books.

Though you might not think it upon first glance or encounter with Rusty, he was a drug addict, homeless, incarcerated, and eventually unemployable. Through those experiences Rusty experienced the love and support of real friends and family. Sadly, though, he realized not everyone had that. Rusty eventually bought a trailer with his savings and opened up a residential facility for men. Fast forward just six years and One Eighty would grow to operate a nationally known program that includes three key areas; Prevent, Reach, and Develop. It’s helped thousands overcome struggles in their life and has reached out to thousands of other kids who are at risk of taking the same road Rusty did. Rusty also entrepreneurially founded many businesses with One Eighty that are designed to be employment opportunities for those in their residential program. Rusty has raised millions of dollars for the community, leads a volunteer force of hundreds, and is a highly sought after speaker and community leader. He has able to do all of this before his 30th birthday. However, if you ask him what his biggest accomplishment is, he would tell you it’s being married to his beautiful wife Brook and raising their kids. At one-time people counted him out because he was a homeless, addicted, felon, who found himself in Cell 121. But in that cell, author Rusty Boruff found the key that unlocked the emotional and spiritual bars surrounding him. In his new book, Cell 121, Rusty gives hope to those who have been beaten up by life’s circumstances by providing practical application on how to overcome struggles.
